The name Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla probably doesn’t ring a bell. However, the legendary stories past down after his death in 1810 gave birth to Zorro. By 1919, author Johnston McCulley created the character of Zorro causing a generation to wonder, “who is this masked man?”
Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” – Mark 4:38
By AD 30, another individual was blowing the minds of his followers. While traveling by boat, Jesus and his disciples were confronted by a white squall. Fear spread throughout this vessel except for Jesus, taking an afternoon nap. Disappointed by the panic of grown man acting like scaredy cats, Jesus awoke confronting their situation. With a few words, the storm ceased. Looking at each other in shock, twelve men began to murmur, “who is this masked man?”
He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. – Mark 4:39
Unfortunately, people continue to doubt God today. Despite generational blessings, modern miracles and unexplainable events, faith continues to fade. Disappointment, hard luck and troubled souls have become beaten down, losing the spirit of optimism. Perhaps, society needs church leaders to shine the light of Christ so that those in the dark may began to ponder, “what’s different about that person?” May the legend of Zorro and the Son of God inspire souls to reach their full potential in Christ, John 10:10.
