Jesus Is My Superhero
Jesus Is My Superhero

1 Dear friends, let me give you clearly the heart of the gospel that I’ve preached to you—the good news that you have heartily received and on which you stand.
2 For it is through the revelation of the gospel that you are being saved, if you fasten your life firmly to the message I’ve taught you, unless you have believed in vain.
3 For I have shared with you what I have received and what is of utmost importance: The Messiah died for our sins, fulfilling the prophecies of the Scriptures.
4 He was buried in a tomb and was raised from the dead after three days, as foretold in the Scriptures.
5 Then he appeared to Peter the Rock and to the twelve apostles.
6 He also appeared to more than five hundred of his followers at the same time, most of whom are still alive as I write this, though a few have passed away.
7 Then he appeared to Jacob and to all the apostles.
8 Last of all he appeared in front of me, like one born prematurely, ripped from the womb.
9 Yes, I am the most insignificant of all the apostles, unworthy even to be called an apostle, because I hunted down believers and persecuted God’s church.
10 But God’s amazing grace has made me who I am! And his grace to me was not fruitless. In fact, I worked harder than all the rest, yet not in my own strength but God’s, for his empowering grace is poured out upon me.
11 So this is what we all have taught you, and whether it was through me or someone else, you have now believed the gospel.
12 The message we preach is Christ, who has been raised from the dead. So how could any of you possibly say there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 For if there is no such thing as a resurrection from the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
14 And if Christ has not been raised, all of our preaching has been for nothing and your faith is useless.
15 Moreover, if the dead are not raised, that would mean that we are false witnesses who are misrepresenting God. And that would mean that we have preached a lie, stating that God raised him from the dead, if in reality he didn’t.
16 If the dead aren’t raised up, that would mean that Christ has not been raised up either.
17 And if Christ is not alive, you are still lost in your sins and your faith is a fantasy.
18 It would also mean that those believers in Christ who have passed away have simply perished.
19 If the only benefit of our hope in Christ is limited to this life on earth, we deserve to be pitied more than all others!
20 But the truth is, Christ is risen from the dead, as the firstfruit of a great resurrection harvest of those who have died.
21 For since death came through a man, Adam, it is fitting that the resurrection of the dead has also come through a man, Christ.
22 Even as all who are in Adam die, so also all who are in Christ will be made alive.
23 But each one in his proper order: Christ, the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ in his presence.
I think one of the greatest lines i heard on a superhero movie ( justice league) was when batman was asked whats his superpower.
Today i don’t want to bore you on the resurrection Easter Sunday.
But i just want to plead my case why Jesus is my super hero..
Every super-hero has a super power and a super weakness or (kryptonite)
Let’s look at Jesus weakness first.
Let’s look at Jesus weakness first.
He can’t lie..
He can’t lie..
18 So it is impossible for God to lie for we know that his promise and his vow will never change!
And now we have run into his heart to hide ourselves in his faithfulness. This is where we find his strength and comfort, for he empowers us to seize what has already been established ahead of time—an unshakeable hope!
He can not repent!!
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
2. Let’s Look at 3 Super-powers & maybe a bonus one as well.
The word Omni is the Latin root, meaning 'all.'

Omniscience
Omnipresence
Omnipresence
omnis+potens, almighty
Omnipotence means all-powerful. God has supreme power. This means God can do what he wants. It means he is not subject to physical limitations like man is. Being omnipotent, God has power over wind, water, gravity, physics, etc. God's power is infinite, or limitless.
Omni Present -
Omniscience means all-knowing. God is all all-knowing in the sense that he is aware of the past, present, and future. Nothing takes him by surprise. His knowledge is total. He knows all that there is to know and all that can be known.
Omnipresence means all-present. This term means that God is capable of being everywhere at the same time. It means his divine presence encompasses the whole of the universe. There is no location where he does not inhabit. omnipresence indicates that God is distinct from the universe, but inhabits the entirety of it. He is everywhere at once.
Omni-Sapient
Omni-Sapient
Many theologians regard these three attributes as essential to God's nature. In other words, if God did not have these characteristics, he wouldn't be God. For example, for God to be God, he would need to have supreme power (omnipotence); if he was not omnipotent, he wouldn't be qualified to be God.

Knowledge and wisdom are similar, if not complementary. However, it is quite possible for one to be knowledgeable without being wise. Knowledge is acquired “facts, information, and skills.” Wisdom is better understood to have the “quality of experience, knowledge, and good judgment.” Merriam-Webster defines wisdom as the “knowledge of what is proper or reasonable: a good sense of judgment.”[2] In other words, knowledge is understanding how something works, whereas wisdom is the understanding how to apply information to life. Knowledge requires intelligence. Wisdom requires integrity. We find that God is known to be omnisapient. “Omni” meaning “all” and “sapient” meaning “wisdom.” God is all wise.

58 So he did not do many miracles there because they had no faith.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
