I love a good sci-fi movie and a great story. I have high hopes for the new prequel X-Men movie that tells the story of how Xavier and Magneto start off as close friends in saving the world but in the end, become bitter rivalries. I don't know about you but doesn't this story sound familiar? Is this not the story of God and Satan? People forget that Satan used to be a good angel working in favor of God's service. But Satan took himself too seriously, has since lost any sense of humor, and has been bringing misery and untold sadness to countless ever since he has fallen to earth from heaven (see Revelation chapter 12 for more on this).
For some time people in the church have either been operating like second class citizens and have been taking their heavenly citizenship for granted or some simply are treated like second class citizens in the church. How many horror stories do I need to hear from people who have been hurt by church leaders or their "so-called friends" in church who because they were single, divorced, re-married, or you fill in the blank, they were treated like second class citizens rather than first class citizens of God's kingdom.
Isn't it about time that the church start demonstrating some real spiritual power today? How about confident followers of Jesus (Jesus who is the real X man) who show us all how to live as men and women of faith from heaven. Isn't it time that people in the church start practicing and acting like first class citizens empowerd by God do to great things? Isn't it time for people in the church to start moving from second class up to first class where God has always been holding a spot for you if you would just come?
