Gloria’s Journey of Forgiveness with Superbook

Share This article

In the bustling city of Abepura, Indonesia, eight-year-old Gloria grew up in a Christian family and was a diligent Sunday school student. However, her transition to elementary school brought unexpected hardships. A male classmate began bullying her, demanding money and resorting to physical violence if she refused. This repeated mistreatment left Gloria with a deep-seated grudge against her tormentor.

The turning point in Gloria's life came with the arrival of Superbook’s Super Easter event. Excitedly, she registered through her Sunday school class to host a Super Easter Movie Party at her home. With courage, Gloria invited her friends one by one to join the event.

During the Super Easter Movie Party, Gloria's heart was profoundly touched by the Superbook episode “He Is Risen.” The story of Jesus' sacrifice resonated deeply with her, reminding her of the bullying she endured and the resentment she held. As she watched, her heart began to soften, overwhelmed by the love and forgiveness exemplified by Jesus.

Moved by the message, Gloria followed the prayer shared during the Super Easter event and made a life-changing decision to forgive her bully. "Lord Jesus has died to atone for the sins of all people. So I must forgive my friends who do wrong to me," she declared.

This moment marked a significant transformation in Gloria's life. The power of God's love and the lessons from Superbook helped her let go of her anger and embrace forgiveness. Her story is a testament to the profound impact of CBN Animation’s Superbook, which transcends cultural and regional boundaries to bring the Word of God to children worldwide.
