Sometimes thinking about what Christ did for me brings me to tears. When hearing this song I think of angel's announcing Christ, proclaiming Him a hero.

Watch and listen to this song - Hero by the group Abandon

Whenever I hear a song, especially songs about God and Christ, I create something like a music video in my head. This note is going through some of the things I think about when I hear the song.

One of the first images I get is Jesus sitting at the right hand of God in heaven. They look at each other, God nods, and Jesus stands up. He begins to walk the golden path from His seat towards the gates of Heaven. Along the path are saints and angels singing "There He goes! A hero, the savior to the world". They all know what He is preparing to do. He arrives at the gate and exits heaven.

He enters our world as a baby. I see Him lying in a manger, the nativity scene. I see a host of angels above singing once again, "There He goes, a hero".

I see Him as a boy, at the temple speaking to the adults with a knowledge far beyond His years. The angels are singing.

He is walking down the streets looking like any other man, but something is different, everyone that sees Him feels it. As He walks by people's heads turn. A boy says "there He goes, a hero". Jesus then calls the disciples to follow Him. Soon all that follow Him proclaim "there He goes! A hero!"

He is speaking to children, I see Him giving the Sermon On The Mount. He walks on the water and He calms the storming sea. He goes around healing and performing miracles. The pharisees call Him a hypocrite and turn many against Christ. However, the children and those that received His message shout out "There He goes, a hero!"

He is sentenced to death. As He carries the cross up to the place He will die and the streets are crowded with people watching. While many curse Him, there are a few people who, singing through tears, "There He goes, a hero".

Christ dies. The curtain in the temple is torn. The curtain that symbolizes our separation from God. The torn curtain symbolizes how, because of Christ, those who believe are no longer separated from God because of their faith and sins being forgiven. We were once far off but can now draw near to God. The angels sing that it is because of our hero, the savior to the world.

Mary Magdalene and the other women go to the tomb and find it open. Angels sing "Have no fear! He's not here!" He is risen from the grave and conquered death. Jesus finds the disciples and they don't believe it's Him. "Here He stands with scars in His hands". They see the scars and believe. "There He goes, the hero. The Savior to the world!Here He stands with the scars in His hands! With love He gave His life so we could be free!

Next I see Jesus ascending into heaven. The 500 witnesses and angels all sing "There He goes, the hero, the savior to the world!".

Then I see Jesus arriving at the gates of heaven. He walks up the path with the saints and angels on the sides. They all proclaim, "There He goes, the hero, the savior to the world!" Jesus arrives at the throne of God, looks up and says, "it is finished". Jesus then takes His seat at the right hand of God.

How great and loving is our God!
