Super Conqueror!

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."
Romans 8:37

I think that all of us like a good superhero. There is Superman, Batman, the Green Hornet, Spiderman and more. For some reason, we are drawn to someone who has extraordinary power and goes around doing good for mankind.
    I've noticed that there are some great superhero types in the Bible. Back in Genesis, before the time of the flood, the Sons of God lived. It says, "They were the heroes of old, men of renown." King David had his "Mighty Men." In Hebrews 7:16, the writer says that Jesus lived "on the basis of the power of an indestructible life." This kind of sounds like the stuff of superheroes, doesn't it?
    The point is; Jesus is our superhero. In fact, he is much more than a superhero. He is God the Creator, the Redeemer, and Savior of all men and women. He is incredible and he lived in "the power of an indestructible life." Now, here is the most incredible thing about this superhero phenomenon--we are superheroes, too! We are not superheroes because of our own strength, because that will fail us. No, we are superheroes because of the one, true superhero, Jesus Christ. If you look carefully at Romans 8:37, you will see that it says, "...We are more than conquerors THROUGH HIM who loved us." It is through the indestructible life of Christ that all of us have been given supernatural power. All that he lived has now been imparted to us. It is the power to pray, the power to believe and act in faith, the power to see his will accomplished. When Christ walked the earth, there was one incredible superhero. Now, there are millions of us who have the power and authority that God gave us through Jesus. You see; we are the body of Christ, doing his will on the earth.
    Do you know who you are? You are more than a conqueror, empowered by Christ to be his agent in the very place where you live. When you understand and live that truth, the rest of the world will look at you and exclaim, "It's a bird; it's a plane...No, it's SUPER CONQUEROR! Now, there is an identity that is no secret.
