With mild doses of spoiler!
There was a time, in the 1980s, when I was frozen in front of television watching Superman save the world, then we wrapped a sheet around our necks and went out on the street to save the world. Everyone wanted to be Superman!
- Today.
- Forty.
- By the way.
- I still enjoy this Marvel/DC universe.
- But for other reasons.
- I spend time on these stories that excite people around the world because they have a fundamental religious motive: the world is not perfect.
- Then the question arises: how to save the world? The Marvel Universe and DC Comics offer stories that enhance aesthetics.
- Virtue.
- Goodness and beauty.
- Society.
- After God’s death.
- Cannot be without religious references to overcome mortal sins or monstrous chaos.
- Tyranny Life is getting better and better.
- People need a pure soul that sacrifices for everyone.
- Don’t you need a god.
- You need a hero? That’s what secularized society thinks.
Interesting! In the face of these stories, people cry, why do they get excited?They get excited because they need hope. People must have more of the best, but the great contradiction of these stories, made from the closed and secularized box, is that these myths are liars, these heroes do not exist. These stories are idylathers, even if they suggest good virtues and ethics with moments of truth.
The fields are green! More than ever, people need to know the gospel; he needs to know that a man, who has never sinned, gave his life for sinners to save them from death; for all of us we are dead, so that whoever believes in him may have life.
Cinema has the ability to touch us with aesthetics, but the Gospel is the power of God. If people are moved by a story that does not even exist, imagine what the Holy Ghost can do in the hearts of sinners when they hear the redeemer’s story. Message! We must proclaim this message:
8 But God demonstrates his love for us by the fact that Christ died for us while we were still sinners. 9 Therefore, much more now, being justified by his blood, through him we will be saved from wrath. 10 For if the enemies were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being already reconciled, we will be saved by his life; 11 and not only that, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we now receive reconciliation. 12 Therefore, as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passes to all men, because all have sinned. 13 For even under the law there is sin in the world, but sin is not counted when there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the image of Adam’s transgression, which foreshadowed the one to come. However, the gift is not like the offense; because if for the offense of a man many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of a man, Jesus Christ, abounded over many. 16 The gift, however, is not like the case in which one has sinned; because the judgment was drawn from a single offense, for condemnation; but grace flows from many offenses to justification. 17 If for the offense of one and for one death reigned, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of justice will reign in life for one, that is, Jesus Christ. (Romans 5. 8-17 ARA)
May the Lord thank us and help us courageously proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ!It’s not a saboteur, that’s life!Let us always preach the only story that can save sinners!
