I am experimenting a little in between O-Boy chapters. This was a comic idea one of my students had for an assignment. I loved Dr. Splatt and put together this little strip about Him an his deviousness. a lot of experimenting here so let me know what you like or dislike. I will be doing a few more of these "shorts" in the days ahead.
O-Boy and the Gospel.The Gospel.
God made all things and all things belong to Him. He made us in His image to reflect His glory by tending His creation under His authority. He made us to know Him, love Him and live for Him. But we have rebelled against God. We don't want to live for Him. We have lived for ourselves which is evident when we lie, steal, lust, and hate. We have pretended to be god in His place. We have made ourselves an idol. We have failed to love others and we have failed to love God. This is a horrible crime against the King of all creation. And a crime against an infinite and eternal king requires an infinite and eternal punishment in a place called Hell. Even though this is what we deserve, God still loves us. He does not desire for us to perish but to be restored to living with and for Him. So God became a man in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus lived a perfect life always loving God the Father with all His heart, mind, soul, and strength and always loved His neighbor as much as Himself. He lived the life we should have lived and did not deserve to be punished by God. But Jesus was punished on the cross, not for His own sin, but for the sins of people. He died and was buried and three days later He rose again to give us eternal life. Now He calls all people everywhere to repent, to stop living for themselves and live for the one who died for them. All the while trusting in His sacrifice and resurrection as payment for their sins. And those who trust in Him will be born again. His Spirit will come to dwell in them and they will have assurance of eternal life. One day, this world will pass away and God will make a new Heavens and a new Earth where God's people will dwell with Him forever. And this is the story behind O-Boy. Inspired by the Gospel, which is true myth and at the heart of all our great stories, and by the works of John Bunyan and C. S. Lewis, I am attempting to put together a webcomic where the King of Light takes on the lowest form in order to rescue His people from the power of darkness. Stay Tuned. |
