If you saw it without it being spoiled for you, then you know exactly what I’m talking about… the moment that ignited cheers in theaters around the world as Thor’s hammer soared through the air and landed squarely in Captain America’s hand. Putting an end to years of speculation, Steve Rogers was proven to be worthy to both call and wield Mjolnir in battle, putting on a display of combat prowess that single-handedly drove the mad titan Thanos down to his knees. While there were plenty of others rocking their unique super-powers all across the battlefield, this moment had the most meaning because it wasn’t just the Captain showing off the effects of his super-soldier serum… the hammer CHOSE him to be the one to call the thunder down.

We are all unworthy of the calling the Father has placed on our lives, but through Christ we have been given the gift of being reconciled to Him and possessing a righteousness that we never could have accessed on our own. The Lord has called each of us to the battlefield, but our enemy will attempt to convince us to disqualify ourselves from joining the battle because of our past sins or our current limitations. In that moment, let’s remember that we don’t stand on our own self-worth, but Christ’s. He knew who we were and chose us anyway… and by His grace we stand.

This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. 1 Timothy 1:15-16

Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:18

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2
