Pastor Riley and Kate discuss why it seems like Christ isn’t always enough for us. The Old Adam in us watches for a superhero, a mythical god-man who cannot die. We seek this because we don’t want to taste death. Christ shows us that all men die, even Him, the true God-man. Yet Christ does something that the superhero cannot do, and that we cannot do either. Christ returns to life. And while Christ does not give us perfect lives on earth, He does give us everlasting life, a resurrection from our own deaths, a new life in Him, in our baptism, and that is all we need.
