Learning to Forgive with Superbook
In the lush, vibrant landscapes of Indonesia, ten-year-old Alvaro lives with his parents in a modest home. His father works as a road construction laborer, and his mother serves as a substitute teacher at a public elementary school. As an only child, Alvaro is often pampered—but life hasn’t been without its challenges.
Alvaro’s chubby frame and dark skin made him a target for teasing among his peers. One painful moment stands out vividly in his memory: a friend called him “fat and dark.” Humiliated and angry, Alvaro lost his temper and hit his friend. That single act left him feeling guilty and confused.
Everything changed at church one Sunday when Alvaro’s class watched “David and Saul,” an episode of CBN Animation’s Superbook. The animated story brought the Bible to life, showing how David chose forgiveness over revenge—even when Saul sought to harm him. For Alvaro, this was a revelation.
“I saw how David forgave Saul who wanted to kill him. I thought, if David could forgive Saul, why can’t I forgive my friend?”
Inspired by David’s example, Alvaro found the courage to do something extraordinary. He approached his friend, apologized for hitting him, and shared his feelings honestly.
“I told him that I don’t like being bullied. Bullying is wrong, and it doesn’t please God.”
That moment of humility restored their friendship. Today, Alvaro continues to learn from David’s story—choosing patience and forgiveness over anger. Through CBN Animation’s Superbook, he discovered that living God’s way brings peace and joy, even in the face of hurt.
