JC Comic book Star!

So last night we went to a Bible study. Which was fun but a little weird cause it was our first time there, and we didn't know any of the people there. But turns out that it was a lot of fun. Plus it kinda jump started me on God again. Which was nice cause I've feel like I've been lacking.

So anyway through out the discussion I kept thinking about a comic I had just recently read. First let me tell you what we were talking about. Easter is coming up so we were talking about the three crosses and the attitude each one of them represents. The cross of the thief who was insulting Jesus, represents the cross of rejection. The cross of acceptance was represented by the thief who asked Jesus to remember him in his kingdom. While Jesus' cross represented the redemption which we all need to come too.

The one that I kinda focused on was the first one. I guess what got me going was the question of how can someone be so arrogant or prideful that even at death he was following the crowd. Someone brought up the question of dealing with pride and fighting pride with humility. Well this is what got my mind thinking about this comic that I read, A green lantern comic!

Well this one was about the first Green Lantern, Jong Li. He was a monk who was brought up to be a servant and humble. Well, when his temple is destroyed he's the only survivor. That night he's given a power ring and is turned into a Green Lantern. Well he goes on a tour of the country side acting like Robin Hood. Well his ego overtakes his humbleness to the point that he decides to take on the evil Emperor with out his ring to prove himself worthy of the ring. Eventually he overtakes the Emperor and sets up a new better Emperor. I kinda saw this as a metaphor for spiritual warfare. Choosing to put aside what feeds our egos and fight with what God has given us.

I know, I know I'm a super nerd. But that's how I relate things. If you want to check out the comics it's called Dragon Lords by DC comics. The verses that were talked about were Luke 23:39-46. So yeah I'm a nerd/geek plus a Christan. Take it or leave it that's who I am. O.K. so yeah that's enough for today.
