Jesus was an amazing combination of real human and heavenly God. He was like a superhero – normal person most of the time – yet now and then demonstrating the amazing. And true to superhero code – He never used his powers for his own good! But more often than not, Jesus was a humble servant – to any and to all.
We most often live in the ordinary. Just a simple person, getting by day after day. Yet once in a while we have the chance to step into the amazing. We have the opportunity to live beyond the human limitations. Sometimes we find it in a time of prayer or perhaps during worship. It is that amazing moment simply being in His presence. Sometimes we find it when we step out of our own comfort zone and into another’s world to engage them where they are at. This idea is what awes me about Jesus – he accepted all he met at face value and offered what he could to them. So often when we do for others, they are certainly helped but it is us who has gained the most.
In John 10:10 Jesus promised, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Got your cape and tights ready? Where will you find and give life abundantly today?
