[:en]MORE THAN A HERO
In 2017, Star Wars fans around the world eagerly awaited the release of Epistle 8 “The Last Jedi”. These films were successful because it connects with many who long for a “new hope and a force of good at a time when the world needs heroes”.
When Jesus was born, the people of Israel were in captivity and being oppressed. They were longing for their long-promised Messiah to deliver them from Roman tyranny. But Jesus came not to become a political or military hero, but to become our Savior. He was to bring God’s light into the darkness and to give life to those who receives Him. He came from the Father, full of grace and truth to forgive and free us from the power of sin (John 1:14).
Jesus is more than a hero who gives one true hope the world needs. – by (David C. Mccasland)[:]
