- I have used the movie "Flatliners"
starring Julia Roberts and Keiffer Sutherland several times in
illustrating forgiveness. The whole movie deals with this theme. One
character needs forgiveness from a woman he teased as a child to
make his delusions go away. Another character needs to forgive her
father for committing suicide when she was young. The last character
needs to forgive himself for accidentally killing another boy when
he was younger. The moral: Only forgiveness can rid us of our
"ghosts." Only Christ can offer true forgiveness.
