Fairy Tales

There is a new song out right now by Abandon called Hero. Every time this song comes on the radio it makes me think about the stories we were told as children; stories of heroes and princess, and how the hero would save the world. Here are the lyrics to the song:
He walked the dirty streets famous for nothing. He said, “Come follow me” and they came. A face like all the rest, but something was different. The Son of God would lead the way. And soon they all would say. There he goes, a hero, a savior to the world, here He stands with scars in His hands. With love He gave His life so we could be free. The savior of the world. He spoke with clarity, walked across the sea. A single word would calm the storm. His touch could heal the sick, but He was called a hypocrite. Laid behind the stoned, His death was shortly mourned. He left the curtain torn, There He goes, a hero, a savior to the world. Here he stands with scars in His hands. With love He gave His life so we could be free, the savior of the world. He chose to take the cross, shed tears for the lost, the broken and the needy, forgiving those who were and will be. The angle made it clear, he told them, ”Have no fear He’s not here, He’s not here”
It is funny how we create these stories of "super heroes" with super powers. The greatest super hero was Christ and He had all the power in the universe yet that is not a story we tell we asked about a super hero. It is funny to think how we tell little girls that a prince is coming for her one day and that he will love her and take care of her. Yet we leave out the best part of the story and have some of the facts wrong. A prince has already come for her, and He does protect her ever day, and the best part of the story is that He died so that she might live a full and happy life. Why make up fairy tales when there is a true story out there that is better than all the rest of them. Why feel people's heads with made up characters and stories when they could be learning out the King and His Son and how much they love them and are watching out for us daily. So the next time some one asks you who your hero is, I want you to stop and think about the words to this song. Christ is the ultimate hero, and He has already saved the world!!
