Superhero or sidekick

Sidekick-a follower who accompanies another
Superhero-a hero possessing extraordinary powers

This past week I was working a kindermusic camp for kids ages 4-7, when the leader was introducing me she said that my name is Noelle can you guess when I was born.  I told the kids I was born at Christmas time, and Drew who is 6 years old said "Jesus was born at Christmas time you must be Jesus's sidekick."  I laughed so hard my side hurt.  It is so amazing how kids say some of the funniest things. 
The dictionary defines sidekick as a follower who accompanies another.  We as Christians are followers of Jesus Christ. Therefore we are his sidekicks. He is the superhero, and when we become his followers we become sidekicks.  Now that doesn't mean that we should all wear tights and our underwear on the outside, however it does mean that we should let Christ lead us in everything that we do.  We are HIS followers and he is our leader. 
  When ever we are in trouble we should use the Jesus signal and ask for help.  Even though we are not attacked by real villains we are still attacked by Satan, and that is when we use the Jesus signal(pray) for help he will come. Jesus is our strength, he is our rock, sword, and shield.
