Humans are born to be heroes
The Theology of the Hero
History is a fruit whose skin is made of lies, but God left a bit of sweetness so that we would remember Him and search for Him.
The story of Abraham taught us that Justice is higher than God, and that God Himself must obey it. Jesus spoke and showed that no one has precedence over others in the face of God; that the smallest will be the first. Humility is understanding that, above any intrinsic value, the position of the widest and deepest understanding is the one that lies directly above God Himself. The last shall be the first; this means that under God, the humble are exalted, not those who aggrandize themselves with pride they did not earn.
The third lesson concerns Sisyphus, the giant pushing the boulder to the top, but the lesson also applies to Jesus, who triumphed over death through His sacrifice. The greatest miracle was not the blind man who could see, or the water turned to wine. The greatest miracle was at the end of the suffering: the willful passage through that suffering. This is the Hero’s Journey. Humans are born to be heroes; they are born not only for themselves but for others, as the Hero is always an individual redemption for the whole of humanity.
Jesus was the ultimate hero, for He was God Himself, yet willing to sacrifice Himself to teach us love. This is the ultimate lesson about justice: only through suffering does one become godly. Only by maintaining dignity under attack can one separate from their mortal nature and become eternal.
God is not God unless He is born again through suffering. God is not God because He is mighty and powerful, but because He is humble; He endures and redeems Himself as any human can. This is the greatest power that human and God alike share equally. Bearing your everyday cross is the greatest power, the power of good over evil. God became fully God only when He became a human hero, when Jesus became Jesus Resurrected, born again from the pit of hell like the ultimate hero, a model for humanity.
