Cinematic Faith: Life Lessons From the Big ScreenSample

Spider-Man: No Way Home shows Peter Parker navigating the consequences of betrayal and loss. Faced with the people responsible for harm, including his own suffering, he chooses forgiveness instead of retaliation. This decision mirrors the radical call of Jesus to love even those who hurt us.

Forgiveness is supernatural. It doesn’t come naturally, but it leads to freedom. It doesn’t erase pain or mean ignoring boundaries, but it releases the bitterness that keeps us trapped.

You may have every reason to be angry. But you also have a Savior who forgave you when you didn’t deserve it. And now he’s inviting you to walk that same road—not alone, but with him.

Pray: Jesus, you know how hard forgiveness can be. Help me release bitterness, trust you with justice, and love even when it’s painful. Make me more like you. Amen.
