Jos joskus k\u00e4yt kotonamme, huomaat, ett\u00e4 meill\u00e4 on paljon sarjakuvia. Olenkin harrastanut sarjakuvien lukemista ja tekemist\u00e4 lapsesta saakka.<\/p>\n
Usein minulta kysyt\u00e4\u00e4n, ett\u00e4 mik\u00e4 on paras sarjakuvahahmo. Vastaus on aina selv\u00e4. Tietenkin Ter\u00e4smies. On toki paljon muitakin suosikkeja, mutta kuitenkin Ter\u00e4smies vie aina voiton.<\/p>\n
Oli my\u00f6s aikanaan hienoa kuulla, ett\u00e4 Ter\u00e4smiehen alter ego, sanomalehtitoimittaja Clark Kent, on metodisti. Se on ihan luonnollistakin, koska metodistikirkko on Yhdysvalloissa kuitenkin suuri ja vaikuttava.<\/p>\n
Mutta Ter\u00e4smies sopii hyvin metodistiseen ajatteluun symbolina. Kirkkomme virallinen tunnus, liekki ja risti, kuvaa Jeesuksen sovitusty\u00f6t\u00e4 ja Pyh\u00e4n Hengen antamaa voimaa.<\/p>\n
Ik\u00e4\u00e4n kuin luonnolliseksi jatkoksi t\u00e4lle tulee Ter\u00e4smies. Ter\u00e4smies ei vain toivo toisille parasta, vaan tekee kaikkensa parantaakseen maailmaa.<\/p>\n
Minulle Ter\u00e4smies kuvaa metodistista pyhitysteologiaa. Pyhyys ei ole vain hengellinen ominaisuus, vaan sosiaalista toimintaa. Usein metodistisissa ympyr\u00f6iss\u00e4 puhutaankin sosiaalisesta pyhyydest\u00e4.<\/p>\n
Ajatus nousee jo John Wesleyn ajasta, jolloin ensimm\u00e4iset metodistit pitiv\u00e4t ihmisten auttamista luovuttamattomana osana hengellist\u00e4 harjoitusta ja jumalanpalvelusta. Pyh\u00e4 ei ole se, joka pelk\u00e4st\u00e4\u00e4n pyrkii el\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n ilman synti\u00e4, vaan h\u00e4n my\u00f6s pyrkii toimimaan hyv\u00e4n puolesta.<\/p>\n
Ja sellainen on Ter\u00e4smies. Mutta Ter\u00e4smieskin j\u00e4\u00e4 kauaksi j\u00e4lkeen er\u00e4\u00e4lle tosiel\u00e4m\u00e4n supersankarille. Jeesukselle.<\/p>\n
Jeesus antoi kaikkensa sinun ja minun parhaaksi, jotta meill\u00e4 olisi el\u00e4m\u00e4.<\/p>\n
