Super Heroes Still Exist 7/24/25

Good Morning,
Starting my day with a cup of Door County Heavenly Caramel Coffee.

When I was a boy, ( some would argue that mentally I am still a boy) we were blessed to have television. Yes it was black and white with poor reception at times. And no I did not play the drum in the American Revolutionary War!



Two of my favorite TV shows were the Three Stooges and Superman. Superman was promoted as a hero who would just show up when someone was in great danger or a disaster of gigantic proportions was about to happen and he would use his super abilities to save the day. He could fly, leap tall buildings in a single bound, more powerful than a locomotive,and he had X-ray vision.

Think this one through.

Matthew 14:22-33

New King James Version (NKJV)

Jesus Walks on the Sea

22 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. 23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea,[a] tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”
Matthew 24:30 "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all Matthew 24:30 "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 JESUS WILL BE IN THE AIR- For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

Matthew 8:28-34

New King James Version (NKJV)

Two Demon-Possessed Men Healed

28 When He had come to the other side, to the country of the Gergenses,[a] there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way. 29 And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”
30 Now a good way off from them there was a herd of many swine feeding. 31 So the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, permit us to go away[b] into the herd of swine.”
32 And He said to them, “Go.” So when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in the water.
33 Then those who kept them fled; and they went away into the city and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to depart from their region.

John 4:39-42 JESUS KNOWS OUR PAST39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of His own word.
42 Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ,[a] the Savior of the world.”

John 20:26 JESUS WALKS THOUGH WALLS TO GET TO US

New King James Version (NKJV)

26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!”


JESUS SAVES!
Acts 4: 10-12 "Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."Romans 10:13: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

Well this was a long one. But my point is this. If there ever was a hero it is Jesus. HE IS MINE!

God bless,
Marty
