Season 4 || Episode 3
Plot: Clark, with happy face, comes to meet general to ask
her daughter's hand. But he rejects. For him,
Lois doesn't deserve such a life with Superman. Superman
will have lots of evils following him and that going to impact Lois life. She
will suffer the exactly same pain. Not to misunderstand, but Superman loves
Lois is what her dad also understands. But he worries her life. She will also
live the same life as supes which means everything ...even the harsh times,
sufferings, the evils threat and all.
This is something in our relationship and walk with Jesus.
We are Jesus' bride and we are called to live the life together with Jesus. We
are to share the same troubles, shame, stigma, pain and everything with Jesus
throughout our life until all evils and adversaries kneel down before Jesus
(Ps. 110). Being a Christian isn't easy. It’s a hard and painful commitment to
live with God-Man person: JESUS! He calls us to live a sacrificing life and to
suffer for his sake (Rom. 12:1-2; 8:17-18; 1 Pet. 4:1-11, 13-16; 2:1). We are
to suffer and struggle until Jesus establishes wholesome new world in near
future. It’s hard to be his bride and live with him.
We have two choices: either accept Jesus' invitation of
living with him forever with hard-core commitment that whatever situation it
brings, we will also go through them with no compromise (Phil. 4:11) or...reject
his invitation, enjoy life on earth but the ultimate outcome is condemnation.
Our relationship with Jesus might be harder but the real
destiny lies here. Jesus loved us so much that he willingly died in our place!
He willingly received Father's judgement upon himself. He loves us as his bride
so much (Rev. 19:7-9; Eph. 5:25). But to be sure, he is calling is to walk a
narrow path (Matt. 7:13-14) which leads to eternal destiny and we have to see
and work a lot with him until he redeems everything in this entire cosmos
(Phil. 2:12; Rom. 8:19; Rev. 21:4)!
Just as Lois' father was worried about the life she would be
living with Clark, this is same concern everyone should have before getting
into excitement of living a Christian life. Jesus isn't calling us to live a
hedonistic life but rather a harder life but fully leading to a happiest life
in the eternity. Amen...
