Vampires, werewolfes, superheroes, and large blue people (Avatar) are what's trending the big screens, google searches, twitter pages, and mobile devices. While these are all fun and exciting phenomenons beckoning young people to follow the fabulous life of Hollywood A-listers, they have done little or nothing to show the rare and extrordinary real life super hero we have in Jesus. You know I never really had a picture of Jesus as a superhero before I studied the book of Revelation. Did you know that when Jesus returns he will be riding on a white horse? And not just any white horse, I imagine for the whole world to see him, it would have to be a rather large horse, wouldn't you think? He is described as appearing radiant like the sun with eyes that blaze like fire and is wearing MANY crowns upon his head. While I have heard that description before I had never really stopped to ponder this image of Jesus which follows in Rev. 19: " He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God " And Isaiah 63 adds this to the image:

 " It is I, speaking  in righteousness, mighty to save."

"Why are your garments red, like those of one treading the winepress?"

 " I have trodden the winepress alone; from nations no one was with me...I trampled the nations in my anger; in my wrath I made them drunk and poured their blood on the ground."

Ok let's stop to think about this for a moment. Righteousness? Blood? Trampled? Those are pretty vivid adjectives surrounding Jesus' return. See when Jesus comes back one day it will be in ALL of his glory and slendor and righteousness. He is soaked in the blood of our enemies. He will make vengenance on those who have caused harm to us, followers of the antichrist who are unrepentant. Kind of sounds like a great script for the next oscar award winning movie. But in this case it's the real deal, a real life superhero who will save us from every offense and will be victorious forever and ever.

And they all lived happily ever after.
