Israel asked for a king. Samuel told them all the negative things a king would do to them. Saul and others did do these awful things; and so did King Jesus; but because we love Him, we enjoy giving him our children, our sheep, our tithe, and even our selves. This begins a series comparing David the hero to Jesus, to receive more insights into Jesus; heroism.

Enoch's name meant disciple.
Jesus was a disciple; called disciples; and told them to disciple.
Just like Kung Fu movies!

Matthew introduces us to Jesus thru His genealogy, which is full of heroes and villains.
We can emulate heroes like Abraham (wisely) as Jesus did.

Jesus the Human needed affirmation before His ministry, so the Father gave it to him. Luke 3:22
He has given us a new identity in His Word if we will read it and accept it.
Paul told Philemon he was beloved, a brother, a workmate, and a partner to help him be a hero.

the Holy Spirit led all the actors in the gospels including Jesus. He led in Acts as the Church did battle with the world. He will lead us to do heroic things as we follow Jesus the hero.

At the beginning of Jesus' ministry Israel is ruled by terrible people in Rome and Israel.
Ezekiel 22; Israel's sin has earned them their captivity.
Jesus' impossible mission is to defeat these men, establish the gospel, and build His chrurh.
It was impossible, but He was not daunted.

When the Father received Jesus into heaven He acknowledged to all creation that Jesus was the complete, successful, acceptable, Savior.

In John 8:28 Jesus said that when the leaders of Israel lifted Him onto the cross they would realize who He was. His heroism on the cross proved to them that He was indeed the Son of God, the Son of Man.
