Superhero

 

Read or say Bible verse:  Who (Jesus) gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age…Galatians 1:4

 

As the music plays (superhero themed music) a person in a superhero costume (could just be a red cape with a jumbo letter J on the back) comes out and everyone shouts, “it’s a bird, it’s plane, it’s superman.”  You could pick a child to wear the cape. But the adult says the information below.

 

Ask: Wouldn’t it be awesome if superheroes were real?  Isn’t it exciting to watch a movie where a superhero shows up just in the nick of time to save the day?  Who is your favorite superhero?  What super power would you choose if you could pick one? Why?

 

Superheroes aren’t real are they? The ones we see on t.v. and in movies are fake.  They’re all make believe.

 

But there is one real live superhero. He is so powerful that the wind and the waves obey Him, He can:

He can walk on water,

Heal the sick &

Raise the dead.

Demons tremble at the sound of His name.

Even the wind and waves obey Him.

His name is, (cup your hand to your ear and let the children shout;) Jesus!

 

Do you know that Jesus is God’s Son? He was in Heaven with God.

But Jesus came to earth as a new born baby. Remember the virgin Mary and the manager? We celebrate His birthday at Christmas.

 

Jesus grew up and proved He was God’s Son. At 12 He was wiser than the Priest. They all marveled at Him.  He performed many miracles and even raised the dead.

 

He chose to die on the cross for our sins. When he died on the cross the sun went dark. There was an earthquake. The roman soldiers who had put Jesus on that cross were scared and they cried out “truly this was God’s Son!”    

 

Jesus is the savior of the world.  We were born into a sinful world and with a sinful nature. We were lost in our sin separated from God. But Jesus came from heaven to save the world from their sins.   

 

There is only one true superhero and His name is Jesus.
