One of the defining qualities about the Master Chief in the Halo game series is that he knows how to keep his helmet on… unlike a certain live-action TV show Master Chief who couldn’t ever seem to find his. While the decision to keep the Chief in his armor during the games is certainly a more practical one (since he’s pretty much always in a dangerous combat situation), there is a deeper reason as well… it has allowed the character of the Master Chief to transcend who John-117 once was and represent something even greater and more iconic. When the enemy sees him coming, they don’t see a mere human… they see a Spartan.

The Bible calls it our “helmet of salvation” for a reason… when we choose to place the saving work of Christ over our heads, the enemy is no longer facing a fallen, broken wayward soul in battle. He’s staring into the visor of a forgiven, redeemed child of the Almighty God walking in His authority on this planet. We are not who we once were before we put on this armor… we’re defined by our standing in Christ. Let’s snap that helmet on in confidence… our enemy isn’t facing us in battle today, they’re facing HIM.

But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. 1 Thessalonians 5:8-10

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Romans 13:14
