The Big Diehl

When I was little I wanted to be Batman - a hero to rescue Gotham City. My best friend wanted to be Superman - he wanted to save the world!

Have you ever met a little boy who wanted to BE rescued when he grew up?Nah - boys want to be rescuers when they grow up. They want to save the world!

That’s why I love being a Christian. Oh my gosh, I get so excited when I think about what I’m a part of. I try to put myself in the audience of Jesus when he said in Acts 1:8, “But the Holy Spirit will come upon you and give you power. Then you will tell everyone about me in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria, and everywhere in the world.”

Jesus gave Christians the task of telling everyone in the world about Jesus - which can save them! Now its Jesus that does the saving — but Jesus chooses to work through us to spread that message. And since Jesus works through us, we have a part in saving the world! That’s so exciting - let’s do it!
