Hero

Since Adam took a bite of the forbidden fruit sinning increased with each generation. The broken world turned from God and made Jesus all the more needed. Through Adam's disobedience sin came. Through Jesus' obedience that sin came to be forgiven for all those who believe in him. It only took one man to ruin the world and one man to save the world. Jesus saved the wold and made eternal life with God possible. God used our weakness (that is sin) against the devil and used it to bring us all the more closer to Him. He let the grime of sin build up in the world and sent His son to clean it up. For Jesus to bear that sin on his shoulders for us. For everyone to see what a difference it made. So they could say, "I want some of that!". People discovered and rediscovered God.

There is a song by Skillet called Hero, it's a great example of how the world needs Jesus:

I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Loosing my faith today
I'm just a man
Not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate
It's just another war
Just another family torn
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live

The world was loosing faith in God and people were sinning like no tommorow and they found no shame in it. Then Jesus came. He didn't present himself like a king or a celebrity like everyone was expecting, he presented himself as a man. Jesus gave the world hope when there was none. Jesus was the hero the world needed. He lives in us still today.
