Why Superman and Other Superheroes Can Never Be Greater Than Jesus

I love superheroes. I admire all of them. Since I was a kid, I have known their stories and their adventures. I can even draw them, with all the details of their costumes, from memory. But when I have known Jesus, everything was different. I have learned that though Jesus has no x-ray vision, has no superhuman strength, has no lightning speed, and costumes [thank God] like Superman, Ironman or Flash, yet they can never be greater than Jesus in any way. Here's my observation and comparison:

Superman can see through walls; but he can't see through the hearts. Jesus can.

Superman may fly up in the atmosphere; but he can't fly up to heaven. Jesus can.

Incredible Hulk may lift the biggest rock in the world, but he cannot lift up the fallen and the weak. Jesus can. 

Iron Man changed his heart into gamma to help the world. Jesus changed his heart as human in order to feel what we feel. Spiderman is only limited in his city, and so was Batman, but Jesus helps all mankind.

Clark Kent changed to Superman, and so were all superheroes to help people [From being weak to being strong]. Jesus did the opposite, He became human to help people[ From being strong to being weak].

Superman only loved Lois[same with all superheroes, they only love their love partner]. Jesus loves us all.

Superheroes may save you for a moment but they cannot give you peace, direction especially salvation. Jesus can.

No matter how powerful and fast Superman is, still he cannot save humanity. He is not omnipresent. If he will address all crimes in the world, he got to be here and there in different parts of the world in every second. Even all the powers of all superheroes are to be combined, still they cannot save humanity, because the problem of mankind is more than just physical.

Here comes Jesus, what everybody perceived as weakness and unlikely-superhero act, He SAVED mankind in JUST ONE SHOT by dying on the cross! 

Bam! It is finished! 

All the sins of the world were paid! And suppose these superheroes are real and they are human, even their sins are paid. Salvation was secured by Jesus for us all. He didn't use superhuman strength to kill his oppressors. He didn't use any power whatsoever but rather withheld it all. What he used was his body to die on that cross.

In any superhero story, we don't like any superhero to die in the story, but Jesus has to die to complete our salvation story.

And the greatest thing about this comparison is this - 

All of these superheroes are not real; while Jesus is very real.

If we glimpse toward the future, all of these superpowers we have seen in these superheroes are no match to the coming King of kings, who is the Lord Jesus Christ. If just suppose these superheroes are real, they too will all bow down to the Only One Superpower of all - Jesus!

Superman and all superheroes bowing down to Jesus. Awesome!

"Greater love has no man [yes, even superman] than this, that a man will lay down his life for his friends."

From FERDINAND GOJO, Canada:

Since I was a kid I wake up in the morning and think, “Superhero!” I always wanted to be a superhero. Didn’t anybody else have dreams of being a superhero? 

You know when surveys ask people why they want to be superheros nobody says, “To help people. Nobody says to serve. Nobody wants to be Batman to fight crime. You want to be Batman to have a cool Batmobile. And to park in the Batcave. And to beat up people who make fun of you for wearing speedos and tights... lol 

I wanted to be the Invisible Man. Not to help others but to be cool. To sneak in and get free stuff, that’s what I wanted. You get in trouble? Disappear :)

Jesus Christ had all the super powers there are available in the world yet He came to serve. He was a king born in a barn. He lived a meager existence. He was basically homeless throughout His ministry and He served others. He cared for people on the other side of the track. The down, the prostitutes, the damaged, the sick, the hungry. And He did all that even knowing how the world worked.
