I really love the show Heroes that comes on NBC! I am telling you, it’s one of the best ever created (kudos to Tim Kring)!
Why?
It points out a lot about how we really are as humans. Portrays a struggle between our true selves versus what we want to be, exposing our fatal flaws and depravity. It plays on the fact that people want to be extraordinary and matter in life. I want to matter in this life just like the next person. The cool thing about the heroes in the TV series is that they all have these “special” abilities, and they’re on a mission to “save the world”, to make it a better place, to rescue us from ourselves.
Unfortunately on their quest to create a perfect world, they cause damages and deaths along the way. They seem to be going through identity crises & people end up cast along a trail of dispair. Events continue to overlap, causing the “butterfly affect” to a point where nothing really is what it seems….
I think it’d be pretty awesome to have a power (kina nerdy, I know).
But for real, on the bus home from Dallas today I was just thinking:
God has every awesome power that man (or the writer of this television series) could possibly even think of. He’s indestructible like Claire Bennett. In the show Claire cannot die, even after enduring excruciating pain almost to the point of death…(well, watch the show).
Who can say that God has not mastered the time continuum like Hiro Nakamora…
can’t take on many abilities and become all things like Peter Patrelli…
erase memory like “the Hatian”…
or like little Molly, be a human GPS system who can locate anyone in the world at anytime?
Can’t God read and change minds like Matt Parkman?
What about Matt’s dad who could give both good and bad dreams, also alter reality…
I
bet we haven’t thought about the fact that God knows how things work, much like Silar (but without the psyco killing, power-hungry streak lol). Yo but even Silar in this show feels inadequate because he just can’t have enough power. Even with all he has, he is never satisfied.
God shows himself stronger when we fear him, and shows himself stronger in our weaknesses like the guy who grows stronger when people around him start to fear.
He has the power to give life and also take it away.
Paint the future,
and like Isaac Mendez he knows how the last page of the comic book ends and paints it into existence. He’s left behind his sketch book of the future (like Isaac) in the Bible, his word. And just like the show, no matter how you try to shake the future, it’s already been sketched, and it will come to pass one way or another,, even if not t

he way in which you think it will. This is all so bizarre. If you haven’t seen the show, watch it. And think about the attributes of our Abba Father God. He has the formula to give us all the power we need to overcome this life, and the catalyst is Jesus Christ.Photos courtesey of nbc.com/Heroes
