30. Why Does the Messiah Come?

We watch blockbuster movies about heroes with supernatural powers whose mission is to save the world. When the world is saved from destruction by the end of the film, we feel a sense of hope for the future. Historically, people have believed the Messiah is a superhuman who comes to save the world. At the time of Jesus, the Jewish people thought the Messiah would defeat their enemies and lead them into military conquest. Today’s Christians believe Jesus will return to save all believers. Despite the many claims of what a Messiah will do, nobody has ever proclaimed the Messiah comes to restore the sexual organs. What does that even mean? Why are they in need of restoring, and how will that save the world?
