The Difference Between a “Watcher” and a “Savior”

While there are many beings of significant power  and capabilities in the Marvel multiverse, there isn’t anyone quite like “The Watcher”, a being who exists outside of the story and serves as a narrator and recorder of these cosmic events with a very simple rule… watch and observe from a safe distance, and don’t interfere unless the multiverse is at risk. But while the Watchers are a mostly benevolent group, this non-interference policy makes all of their knowledge and power pretty pointless… humanity needs more than just a historian cataloguing mistakes. We need help.

When we’re going through tough times, it can often feel like the Father is too far away from our problems to see them or care about them, but the truth is the Lord didn’t simply wind up our planet and let it spin while He casually observes it from a distance. He cares so much about us that He chose to come down here to live, suffer, and die on this blue marble just so He could fully relate to us in every way. God is not unfeeling, uncaring, or sitting back casually watching us struggle through our predicaments from afar like some cosmic reality show… He’s as near to us and our daily problems as we allow Him to be. We don’t serve a Watcher… we have access to a Savior who understands us better than we know. He didn’t come here to watch, He came to save.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:13-15
