One incredible thing he is doing is using Marvel characters to highlight the word of God.
Jesus did disrupt the status quo. He confronted religious elites, flipped temple tables, and rebuked hypocrites. So yes, to some He looked like a villain. Yet, scripture reveals something deeper: He was never trying to destroy God's law—He came to fulfill it. His intention were to be as savior, a healer, and the fulfillment of divine prophecy.
So let’s be honest: Jesus had to challenged systems. At times it felt like Jesus was being so disruptive in Luke's Gospel 4:29, the townspeople of Nazareth, where he grew up, attempted to throw him off a cliff.
At times, Jesus' words were sharp—not out of cruelty, but because the stakes were eternal. He wasn’t just addressing petty offenses; He was exposing deep-rooted spiritual blindness and generations of deception. The cost of silence was too high, so truth had to be spoken—clearly and without apology.
The Pharisees grew increasingly hostile wit him because of it. So yes, to some Jesus appeared like what the minister said, he was a villain. Jesus spoke with such confidence. When he talked about God's law—He said I came to fulfill it.
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.”
— Matthew 5:17 (NKJV)
Maybe what he was up against were ministers who heard or learned scriptures not from reading the law but from passed down or someone else's interpretation. They just echoed tradition rather than the truth of the text. And when you don't know what the law actually says, the fulfillment of it can look like rebellion.
Remember, Jesus would often say things like “It is written…” or “Have you not read?” And the marveled at Jesus.
Yet, he wasn’t out to reinvent —He was restoring or reciting what was written. He was bringing the heart back to the law or to their remembrance.
They often conspire among themselves about how to silence Him. Why? Because His presence exposed them. But he didn't back down. The true, unfiltered holiness of Christ revealed their hypocrisy, and instead of repenting, they chose resentment. Instead of reading the law for themselves they hated him even the more.
Think about this they didn’t just dislike Him—they hated Him. And from the moment they realized Jesus had influence they felt threatened, they began plotting how to eliminate the Light that had come to expose the darkness of the world.
I personally this realization was so painful. That there’s a moment when Jesus asks a very vulnerable question:
“Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
— Matthew 16:13 (NKJV)
I’ve always believed that was a real question. He wasn’t asking to test their theology—He was asking because he couldn’t understand why was he being treated this way. Why was he rejected when his intentions were pure. By the people who had received compassion, gifts, love, deliverance, and healing from him.
I believe he was trying to grasp why do they not like me. And when his disciples reported the prevailing opinions: John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets,
He wondered what are my disciplines saying. Then he turns it around to them who do you say I am:
“But who do you say that I am?”
— Matthew 16:15 (NKJV)
In other words: Why do people feel so comfortable speaking against Me to you? Do you even know who I am?
That hit me hard. Because the truth is, the world didn’t recognize Jesus —not because He was evil—but because He read the word of God and they did not. That made him divine. He walked fully in power. The Pharisees weren’t too comfortable with that.
The religious leaders weren’t too familiar with their own faith. This made the people too afraid of change. Jesus came to make us whole, but most were content just being comfortable.
“He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.”
— John 1:11 (NKJV)
Jesus new God’s word. He healed on the Sabbath.
Maybe that's why he dined with sinners and refused to follow their traditions. And in that way, yes—He was a disrupter. But that’s what heroes do too. So perhaps sometimes the villain and the hero are one in the same.
They confront what’s wrong to restore what’s right.
For that Jesus became our long-awaited Messiah—the only one brave enough to walk into a world full of sin and offer us salvation.
“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV)
So perhaps not all villains are evil. It's their intentions. Yet, some did mistake Jesus' divine boldness for wickedness. They confused Jesus' confrontation with corruption. And put Jesus on trial in front of the entire world.
"Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know He holds the future."
He was rejected so we could be accepted. He was bruised so we could be healed. He became sin so we could become righteous.
He became a villain to be our hero —that’s the sacrificial love of our Savior. Thank You Jesus Christ!
It took guts to be Jesus. He often stood alone, boldly speaking the word of God while surrounded by opposition. He was still misunderstood. Most people only came to Him for what they could get. They didn’t even come back to say thank you.
And maybe… that’s why Jesus hasn’t returned yet. We must ask ourselves do we still want His miracles more than His message?
Do we want the blessings, more the burden of truth and faith? Have thine own way Lord!
And yet—He still waits for us. Still loves us. Still stands for us.
