Superman is a typical hero. Basically, hes a nice person (though some versions say that he becomes rogue at times). He has good earth parents. Hes your typical nice guy. Ask Lois Lane.
An antihero can be your hero with loads of weaknesses. He can be a hero with at least one debilitating flaws
Now, with those premises in mind, I hope I will not sound blasphemous here (exaggerations intended), but isnt it that Christians are the real original antihero? Please dont get me wrong here. Observe a typical church member in a microscopic manner. Okay, dont go that far: observe yourself in a microscopic and an introspective manner. One way or another we commit sins. In the eyes of God, sin has no ranking. Sin is sin. And its wages is death (Romans 6:23). Some of us have our own ministries in our local church. It is never wrong to aspire not to commit sin, but we need to face the reality that we are still in our own mortal body. If a weak Christian or a fault finder of the brethren happen to see you doing that sin, presto, youll be called hypocrite, even if most people dont really know the real meaning of the word.
During Wednesdays, Sundays, and other days that you need to minister, you cant deny the fact that youre struggling within.
Now, it is very wrong to quit your ministries just because of those truths. If thats the case, why must a believer need to keep on serving God despite of his inner struggles that makes him, well, an antihero? Because Gods grace abounds. Yes, the Bible says that we continue in sin that grace may abound in our life. However, at the end of the life, we tend to abuse Gods grace, one way or the other. Thats the reason why humility and a repentant heart are two important attitudes of a Christian.
Fellow Christians, are we antiheroic? Humanly speaking, yes. However, by Gods grace, we are not.
Maybe this essay is self contradictory. Still, I hope I have conveyed my message well enough.
