Jesus and Galactus share a few things in common, such as power etc. However there is something that they do not share in common. What is it? If they were to get into a battle, who would win?
Welcome
back to the 3rd
week of the Jesus Versus series. We are Redemption Church in Plano
Tx and we are glad to share the Word of God with you today.
In
the 1st
week we studied mercy as we imagined Jesus Versus Thanos.
Last
week, in week 2 we studied God’s activity as we witnessed Jesus
versus Uatu the Watcher.
Jesus
Vs
The
point of this fun comic book series is to remember that God will
fight for you.
Exodus 14:13-14 (NIV2011) Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Jesus
has a BIG battle today. You saw the introductory video… Who is
Jesus fighting today?
Jesus Versus Galactus
Who is Galactus you say? Well, he is a cosmic entity, a god-like super-villain, and a main antagonist of the Marvel Universe.
Galactus
the devourer of worlds
Just
how powerful is Galactus…? Here are his abilities
Immeasurable
Cosmic Energy – Nearly omnipotent. Can shatter planets with energy
blasts.
Immortality
– said to be the oldest living entity. Comic lore says he was
created at the big bang that created the universe.
Invulnerability
– Immune to diseases, ailments, and toxins.
Size
Alteration – Can increase his size & mass.
Force-fields
– near-impenetrable energy shields.
Molecular
reconstruction, matter transmutation, teleportation, interdimentional
portals, telepathy, telekinesis, cosmic awareness, resurrection,
scentient life creation, soul control manipulation, power bestowal,
healing powers…
Galactus
is as big as he wants to be. He can grow to any size… big enough
to hold worlds… even entire galaxies in his hands. The smallest
Galactus can become is 10 ft 9 inches.
And
of course… I am burying the lead on Galactus. Here is the major
thing to know about Galactus – He eats worlds. He is big enough &
powerful enough to eat entire planets and all the inhabitants
therein. For this he is named Galactus: The Devourer of Worlds.
How
could Jesus ever face someone like the mighty devourer of worlds
Galactus?
Jesus
Versus Galctus
I
have been excited about this sermon for a while. Although Galactus
has never appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I think you can
count on seeing him in the future. He originally appears in
Fantastic Four issue #48 and has been an often re-occurring
character. You can’t really have a marvel universe without Galactus
devourer of worlds.
When
we first contemplated this villain for the series, I was sure I was
going to approach it as “savior of the world vs devourer of the
world.”
Savior
of the word versus devourer of the world
