Have you ever noticed how often books and movies tell stories about heroes who defeat evil and save the world?

Think about Superman. He comes into the world as a baby, and when he grows up, although he looks like a normal human, he uses all his power to rid the world of evil.

Think about Anna from Frozen. She sacrifices her own life?even for people who don’t deserve it. As a result, her love brings the warmth of life to a frozen world.

And think about Frodo from The Lord of the Rings. He left his home to go on an adventure, and in great weakness carries the burden of evil, even if it kills him. Why? To save the world.

It’s like we humans write these stories because deep down, we all know what we really need. The human race needs someone?to help us, love us, and rescue us.

Someone like Jesus.

Really? “Someone like Jesus”? How do superheroes point to Jesus?

The Bible teaches that Jesus came to earth to clean up and conquer the evil that had spread throughout the world and corrupted human life.

Don’t just take my word for it. You should meet Jesus by listening to his own words. But prepare yourself: He made some pretty intense statements.

Jesus declared he could give people true life (John 5:21-29; 6:35). Jesus told people that he could forgive sins (Mark 2:1-12; Luke 7:48-49). And Jesus even claimed to have the authority of God (Matthew 28:18; John 17:2).

What kind of person would make these kinds of huge claims?

According to C. S. Lewis (author of The Chronicles of Narnia), you’ve basically got three options.

Option 1: Jesus Is Lying

Think about the strong statements that Jesus made about himself. Anyone could say that he had all authority. Anyone could just tell people that he could give them true life or forgiveness. But he’d be lying.

Yet Jesus did more than merely talk. He calmed storms?something only God can do (Mark 4:35-41). He healed people that no one else could help (Mark 5:1-20). And he raised people from the dead (Mark 5:21-43). Jesus proved his words with his actions! So Option 1 isn’t really an option.

Option 2: Jesus Is Insane

Some people might say that Jesus wasn’t lying but that he went around making wild statements. The world is full of crazy people. What if Jesus meant well but was actually out of his mind?

But Jesus did more than make incredible statements about who he was. He also gave lots of brilliant teaching (Matthew 5-7; 10; 13; 18; 23-25). People were amazed by what he taught
