Moreover, what makes the“purpose” quote above so amazing is that Jor-El says to Kal-El what his reason is before he sends him off to Earth. He says, “You will give the people an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.” This quote offers another stunning display, within the Biblical narrative, of who Christ is and what he does for mankind. The imagery conveyed here is one who follows hard after Christ (Matthew 13:52). Although those followers will sin, they will eventually bask in the glorification of their salvation with the Son—Jesus Christ (Philippians 3; Romans 8:16 – 24).
