Have you ever felt like someone saw you for who you really
were? How beautiful that is to feel that when someone really knows you and sees
your glory, It's overwhelming and beautiful, isn't it? But there's a
difference, of course, between Superman and Jesus. And it's not just that Jesus
isn't a superhero, he's, you know, our Lord and Savior.
It's not just that. The reality is that Superman will never
be one of us no matter how much he disguises himself. His true identity is
other than Us. And so all we can really do is stand back in awe of this
superhero and say, wow, look at those things that he can do. I could never lift
a car above my head. I'm not bulletproof. Isn't that amazing? But Jesus is not
disguising himself as human. Jesus is human. Jesus is one of us. The powerful
thing about Jesus is that he's not God disguising himself as a human to sort of
just make it palatable for us to look at him. Jesus is God completely and
totally connected to humanity, married to us forever, such that when we see
Jesus, we do see the glory of God, but we also see the glory of our own
humanity fully present in that space.
