This

fun interactive series starts next week… but today we are looking

at a final confrontation in our Jesus Vs series.

Jesus

Vs

Scripture tells us that God will fight for you. Each week we have imagined what a fight between Jesus and super-powered comic villain would look like. We talked Thanos, Uatu the Watcher, Galactus, Venom.. and even last week our Care Pastor Marshal Blessing brought us a great battle against Professor X.

I

have enjoyed the series. I pray that you have as well. If you missed

any week or want to revisit any sermon we want to remind you that you

can access it all through our podcast, youtube, or even our website.

For your benefit we even post our sermon notes on our website. Go

Today

we are finishing off this series by taking another look at Thanos.

Jesus

Versus Thanos

Back

in week 1 of the series we compared Jesus the God of mercy, to the

Thanos the Merciless Mad Titan. What we will talk about today will

have a lot to do with the overall plot of the Avengers movies…

HOWEVER… I will do my best not to throw out spoilers to Avengers

Endgame… even though it came out over a month ago. I do this out

of love for you guys… With that said…

Remember

Thanos is this god-like bad guy who tries to gain a powerful weapon…

What is that weapon?

He

tries to gain the Infinity Gauntlet that is powered with all 6

Infinity Stones. His goal is to snap his fingers and destroy half of

the life in the universe. …And at the ending of Avengers Infinity

War, as you saw in our intro video, Thanos does snap his fingers.

The

Snap

The

SNAP was tragic.

I remember how it made me feel. Even more than that I remember how it

made made my children feel. When the screen went to black and the

credits started to roll I remember my 8 year old yelling “What!?

No! The bad guy can’t win.” I remember him starting to cry and I

remember holding him in my arms.

I

know that it is a movie.. I know that it is a comic book character..

But the SNAP was tragic and it hit me deeper than I thought it was

going to hit.

The

SNAP left us with 2 kinds of people… It left DEAD PEOPLE…

Half

the life in the universe turned to dust. Even our favorite super

heroes, the Avengers, fell to dust. One moment they were there, and

the next moment they were gone. The SNAP left us with DEAD PEOPLE..

The

SNAP left us with one other kind of person. It left us with LOST

PEOPLE…

No

one knew what to do. Our heroes, that always seem to know what to do,

were so shocked by the outcome of the snap..
