Thanos is in “Titan Avengers Infinity War” but he is also a character in the game called “Fortnite”. He appears as a character in “American comic books” published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in “The Invincible Iron Man”. Who cares? To ask the question means you did not do Halloween with children pretending to be someone or something to get candy. I must admit that without five and nine year old grandsons to educate me on the importance of costumes like Thanos and Black Panther, I would be ignorant to the fantasy world these days. During my boyhood years, it was Superman, Tarzan and the Lone Ranger. There are so many costumes and so many characters that it is hard to keep up. Costumes are a set of clothes depicting a particular country, historical period or character. Costumes, during fun times walking secure “trunk or treat” events or safe streets to allow children to say “trick or treat”, is awesome. Beware though of the predators that also like to wear disguises in the hope of deception.
We are all subject to deception. People come to us dressed as if they are more important than you. Is it just another costume? Beware of the many costumes that can cause us to go astray from the truth. Also, be aware that there are good and wise people in the crowds of deceivers. Even Jesus was challenged by the so-called legal experts. They all came dressed with authority in the hopes of catching Jesus unable to answer a legal question related to the Law. Then one wise legal expert asked him which commandment is most important. The answer stopped any more questions not only because of Jesus’ answer but the expert’s interpretation with wisdom. I encourage you to read for yourself in Mark 12:28-34 about the importance of vertical alignment with the Love of God at the top.
