Superpowers

Jesus had superpowers, but He didn’t use them to dominate others. The Jews of His day were waiting for a Messiah to come who would rule as an earthly king.

But Jesus came with a different kind of power. A greater power – the power of selfless love.

Though He could have ruled the world, instead He did something that seemed weak. He let Himself be crucified. Jesus refused to use His power for selfish means. He poured Himself out for us. 

Each of us has an area of life where we have been blessed – where we have a measure of power.

So what power do you have? Do you have more than you need? Share it with those who don’t have enough. Do you have a special skill? Use it to bless someone. Do you have time to spare? Share it with a friend who needs encouraging.

Do you have the light of Christ? Share it with someone who’s walking in darkness.

You can follow Christ’s example of selfless love!

Philippians 2:5-7

“You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.”
