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: The Power of Light.
Inspired by the Gospel, which is true myth and at the heart of all our great
stories. So the works of John Bunyan and C. S. Lewis, I hope one day 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.
