When he has the chance to easily stop a robbery, Peter chooses not to intervene because the man being robbed had just conned him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinking he got revenge, Peter soon discovers that the same escaping robber shot his beloved Uncle Ben. As a crying Peter sees his uncle labor through his final breaths on the sidewalk, he recalls the penetrating last words Ben spoke to him earlier that evening: \u201cWith great power comes great responsibility.\u201d At that point, the superhero known as Spider-Man is born.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What we\u2019re seeing here is a powerful phenomenon called \u201cthe ripple effect.\u201d It\u2019s the idea that every event in life, whether good or bad, is like a rock thrown into a pond\u2014the ripples spread out and impact everything else around it. In the case of Peter Parker, the murder of one innocent man (his uncle) rippled forward to save thousands of lives later on. On a larger scale, the same can be said of the murder of Jesus. The murder of that innocent God-man brought immeasurable good to billions of people throughout history. And it continues to do so two thousand years later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes we can see how tragedy ripples forward for good, but most of the time we can\u2019t. But God always can. In fact, He guarantees it.\u00b9<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not just that good can come from evil but that some greater goods can be achieved in no other way. Suffering can draw us closer to God, wake us up to what is truly important, and prod us to develop the kind of virtue that can only grow in the face of evil and hardship. A person can\u2019t develop perseverance unless there are obstacles to overcome. And there\u2019s no way to develop courage unless there\u2019s evil or danger to face. In other words, we can\u2019t get better unless we have opposition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If God had not given his creatures free choice, there would be no need for heroes and no possibility of growth. If there was no evil to fight and no virtue to develop, we wouldn\u2019t experience the deeper satisfaction of an expanded soul. Good times don\u2019t grow our character like bad times. Even the sinless Jesus learned obedience through suffering.\u00b2<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God knows that love is worth the pain of evil, especially since He will one day end the effects of evil on the redeemed. Once the full number of people have accepted the free pass into His Kingdom provided by the sacrifice of His Son, Christ will come back and right all wrongs.\u00b3 God will then quarantine evil in a place called hell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the meantime, while we\u2019re waiting for Christ to come, we\u2019re stuck in a world of trouble. Since it\u2019s not heaven yet, there is evil to fight, souls to be won, and growth to be achieved. Fictional stories about Hollywood heroes like Spider-Man can help us realize that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adapted from Hollywood Heroes: How Your Favorite Movies Reveal God by Frank Turek and Zach Turek.

Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek\u201d (Hebrews 5:7-10, NIV).<\/p>\n<p>[3] God\u2019s Kingdom arrived when Jesus came the first time, but it will not be fully completed until Christ comes the second time.
