Superman is Real; His name is Jesus

So, so many things I should write and update on. However, that is not going to happen today. I simply would love for you to watch the movie trailer for Waiting for Superman. I highly recommend that you go and see the film. It is very informative about our education system today. I am simply copying and pasting part of the response to this movie from our MTR director, David Montague. Super encouraging!


"Superman IS Real…
… and His name is Jesus. And do not fooled by the ravages of a sinful, self-centered civilization into thinking that He does not exist.

The play on the wording is that Superman is not real, he ain’t coming and there’s no use waiting for him. Now must be the time for man-made solutions of reform to save the day.

I’m all for reform and hard, human effort to work for justice and fairness.

But that does not mean that there is not One who will come and bring power and relief and salvation from our desperate situations.

And His coming (for now) is to be done through His people. He has called His people to be people who uniquely live by a God-centered worldview and not a self-centered worldview. His coming is to come through His people choosing hard things and sacrificial things and things that provide a lower – not higher- standard of living in order to enter into the most strategic places to right wrongs… to be “dads”… to insure that every child, not just our own children, receive the same opportunities for education.

Supermen and superwomen are coming. I believe they are coming by the thousands. To Memphis. To a city on a hill, or bluff, as it is in Memphis. To let our “light so shine so that men may see our good works and give glory to God.”

And this connection was made all the more powerful as John Legend played “Shine” as the closing credits, and tears, rolled down.

I invite you little “superman’s” to come and show the world that Superman is Real and He is coming soon. And in the meantime, we will sacrificially work towards these same goals as heralds and demonstrators of who is to come."
