Like millions of others all around the world, WE will be seeing "Avengers: Endgame" when it premieres very soon. We are waiting till MONDAY, though!! (Sunday is our firsr wedding anniversary, and we are replicating our first DATE on MONDAY by seeing a Marvel movie, and then going to "Tardi's," a local Italian restaurant. We are both very, very excited!!)
Anyway, by now everyone who's interested knows that "Endgame" is the sequel to LAST years' "Avengers" movie where MANY of The Avengers were killed by the evil Thanos.
And, anyone who realizes how many millions and millions of dollars the "dead" heroes will yet earn for Marvel, realizes they cannot possibly STAY dead. They WILL be resurrected SOMEhow!!
The only question is HOW.
ANOTHER question I have is why do so many consider the REAL death and REAL resurrection of Jesus Christ to be a myth, yet they totally invest into a well-told STORY about fictional heroes who SUPPOSEDLY die....and then come back?? This past Sunday was Resurrection Sunday (also known as EASTER Sunday), and we Christians focused in a special way on the fact that Christ died and was raised again as a payment for our sins. In so doing, he defeated SATAN who is far more evil than THANOS ever could be!! Because it WAS "The Death of Death in the Death of Christ" (as one theologian put it), the Resurrection of Christ was GOD THE FATHER'S "Endgame" as it proved He accepted the payment Jesus made for the believer's sins. Oh, if only this generation knew the Scriptures as well as they know the details, origins and chronology of the Marvel Universe!!
I'm looking forward to the movie, yes, but I do *****MARVEL***** that millions don't line up to go to a church gathering which talks of "The Greatest Story Ever Told" and of Jesus's Resurrection, which I call The Endgame to End All 'Endgames.'
