Lesson 20: Your Knight in Shining Armor
Question 1
Welcome back to the Marriage and The Gospel course.
Sylvia wrote; "Ladies, how many times do we hear about the excitement of having a ‘knight and shining armor’ in our lives to grow old with forever? That he will always be our brave strong protector to rescue us at that exact moment, or someone to wrap their warm strong arms around us when we are feeling weary and frightened, someone who will always be that perfect, gentle, calm, loving and always forgiving spirit at that very moment we need him. I just heard this yesterday ‘I thought he was my knight and shining armor, he never beat me like my former husband’. Erick writes an amazing lesson here that I have so appreciated his heart and enjoyed reading. May it fill you with more love for our Savior Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Rescuer."
When a husband and wife have the same superhero they can rest together knowing that all is well! Today we want to share with you the power of having the same superhero. This is not the fantasy the world dreams about but a reality for every believer! Come and see that the superhero of your dreams will never leave you and has already rescued you!
Everyone wants the “hero” to win and the “villain” to get the punishment he deserves. Everyone wants the woman to be rescued, to fall in love with her rescuer as she’s found unharmed. If only the world could see that the man of their dreams, the real superhero, is standing with His arms open wide! He is the One standing in the book of Revelation, a lamb looking as though He had been slain.
“Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing...” Revelation 5:6 NLT

He is by no means weak and has the battle wounds to prove it! Scars and marks covering His body literally from His head all the way down to the bottom of His feet! He’s a romantic. He laid down His life for His bride and rose from the dead to carry her over the threshold and into His chambers forever!
He doesn’t look strong, nor is there anything about His appearance that should draw us to Him! But He drew His sword—the cross—and defeated the enemy! He is The Knight in Shining Armor who swept His bride off her feet, washed her with His blood, and cleansed her so they could be united forever! If only the world could see that this is what has been portrayed in every fantasy! Every book! Every movie! And every dream! Yes, Jesus Christ is the One that fulfills all of our superhero/romantic dreams in the reality of the cross and empty tomb!
