b'Who doesn\\u2019t love a good superhero movie? It\\u2019s fun to imagine something \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153somewhere out there\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d that\\u2019s completely unbound to nature\\u2019s laws\\u2014a savior to the weak earthlings. It\\u2019s like we have a craving to be rescued by a superhero.\\nAnd those dreams of a savior are not that far off. If you\\u2019re familiar with thetrue stories found in the Bible, you know that unpredictable, unexplainable, and unimaginable rescue stories appear quite frequently in the text. Think about it: a boy defeating a giant with one stone, thousands upon thousands of people crossing the Red Sea on dry ground, a twelve-year-old girl raised to life, a man healed from his blindness\\u2026and the God of the universe dying and rising again. The angel, Gabriel, was right: \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153Nothing will be impossible with God\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d (Luke 1:37).\\nThe beautiful thing is that the same God who performed all of these wonders is the same God who loves us today. A friend told me once, \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153God does His best work in the impossible.\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d\\nWhat impossible things are you facing in your life? Give them to the Lord, trusting Him and His promises in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20). As Jesus told Jairus in today\\u2019s Scripture reading, \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153Don\\u2019t be afraid. Only believe\\u2026.\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d (Luke 8:50). Jairus believed Jesus could raise his daughter from the dead. In the same way, we believe Jesus has already done the impossible because He is rescuing His people from sin and death through the power of His death and resurrection.\\nThat means we can go to Him with any need, trusting Him to work in every situation and right every wrong in His perfect timing (Romans 8:18-30; 2 Peter 3:8-13; 1 John 5:11-15). Life in God\\u2019s kingdom is better than any story Hollywood can create, because we serve a God who promises to one day return to make all things new (Revelation 21:1-5).\\n\\u2022 Why do you think there are so many movies about superheroes? What does that tell you about our human desire for a Savior from sin and death? \\n\\u2022 Read Ephesians 3:14-21. What does this passage tell you about God? \\n\\u2022 What kind of impossible but wonderful things does God promise for His people when Christ returns (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 21:1-5)? How can this truth make us confident that God cares about us and what we\\u2019re facing even now? \\nFor nothing will be impossible with God.
