HEAVENLY ARMOUR
What is your experience of the Christian life? Some say Christianity is a crutch for the weak but to follow Christ is to choose the narrow uphill path, tough-going at times and beset with battles as those who travel this path well know. Many get bruised and battered, some fall by the wayside or just give up and pursue what seems to be an easier way. Science Fiction depicts super heroes that have awesome armour and carry amazing weapons – take Darth Vader’s Helmet with Breastplate, a Jedi’s Lightsabre or Captain America’s Shield. Of far greater worth than these fictional items is the heavenly armour that the Apostle Paul describes to support Christians on each one’s epic tough journey. Can you describe it, visualise it and do you wear it?
