“Lead us not into temptation”
Jesus Christ: The Ultimate Superhero

When we think of superheroes, we think of them fighting the bad guys and saving the day. How about saving mankind from their sins? That is exactly what Jesus did. His fight was with sin and with death, neither stood a chance.
Jesus never shied away from battle, though His battles were spiritual. Jesus won every battle giving us more than any other superhero could, eternal life!
He did not do this as one might have imagined though. No, “[f]or our sake he made him to be sin who did not know sin.” – [2 Corinthians 5:21] The One who claimed to be “The Life” entered into death. He did not destroy them by staying outside of them. No, He entered into them in order to destroy them.
Our Superhero was a shining example for us. “Dying He destroyed our death and rising He restored our life.” Sin and death was not slain until Jesus rose victorious on Easter morning. Our Superhero can save us, if we allow Him to. He wants to be victorious in your life, and destroy sin and death for you!

About the Author
I am an adopted son of God through baptism, though still a great sinner. God has blessed me with a wonderful wife and 11 lovely children, 3 of which have gone to Heaven before their birth.
I love the Rosary and started sharing little Catholic reflections with others. My little reflections have helped deepen my faith and I hope they can help others as well. Though not always fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, I enjoy when He takes over and seeing what direction He takes the reflection.
Please say a prayer for me and I will continue to pray for all who read my little reflections, especially for them to be read as the Holy Spirit intends. St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for the success of my little reflections and for all of Catholic365 and its readers.
