Ant-Man and the Wasp


        In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Hank Pym, in a conversation with his daughter, Hope, recalls the time that he lost his wife, Janet, on a mission to stop a missile. She had to shrink into the Quantum Realm in order to do so. This event took place a few decades prior to the conversation. Hank thought that Janet might have died that day, but once Scott Lang returned, he thought that it might be possible that Janet is still alive. And if that’s possible then it’s possible that they might be able to bring her back from the Quantum Realm. Hank, Hope, and Scott spend the remainder of the film buying parts and building a Quantum tunnel to be able to do just that.


Scripture tells us that Jesus will return someday (1 Thessalonians 4-5) and that He will come like a thief in the night. It instructs us that we must be ready for His return (Matthew 24). To be ready, we must simply do as He has instructed us before His ascension into Heaven. We must go into all the world, preach the Gospel, and make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). We must be willing to do this work so that all peoples may know the name of Jesus so that the world may be ready for the return of our King.



Hank and Hope were eager to get Janet back from the Quantum Realm. They were so eager that they were willing to put in every bit of work necessary, no matter the obstacles because there will be obstacles, in order to achieve their goal. We should have the same attitude when it comes to being ready for the day of the Lord’s return. That eagerness should drive us to obey the Great Commission previously referenced. Now, Janet is not Jesus, but we do know that He will return someday and that only the Father will know when this day will be (Matthew 24:36). Let us get ready.



Are you ready for the day of the Lord’s return? What can you do to obey the Great Commission in order to be ready for that day? Are you willing to be obedient to the Lord no matter what it takes, no matter the obstacles?

In Black Widow, Natasha Romanov goes on a journey of redemption through dealing with her past. She reunites with the family that she has known since childhood. This redemptive process started taking place when she first joined SHIELD before the events of Iron Man 2, the film where she was introduced. At this time, she blows up the building where the man who forced her to be raised into an assassin, Dreykov, was in at the moment. His daughter also happened to be present. Natasha had always resented that Dreykov’s daughter had to be collateral damage. Back to present day in the film, she is reunited with her sister who tells her that Dreykov is, in fact, not dead as Natasha had previously believed. In the process of trying to take the Red Room down, the place where they were both raised to be assassins, they end up fighting someone who has the keen ability to mimic 1:1 the combat moves that they watch known as Taskmaster. Towards the end of the film, Natasha is face-to-face with Dreyko...

          In Avengers: Infinity War, during their travels to Earth, the Asgardian people encounter Thanos and his children known as the Black Order. Thor, Hulk, and Loki try to prevent him from being able to use the space stone, which was the Tesseract, but are proven powerless against Thanos. Once the Great Titan, Thanos, successfully retrieves the stone, he destroys the ship, leaving the bodies of the Asgardians that were on that ship, along with the unconscious Thor, to float off in space as they continue their search for the rest of the Infinity Stones. Later on, the Guardians of the Galaxy find him and bring him aboard their ship. While catching them up on the situation, Thor holds up the spoon with which he is eating his food and realizes that he needs a new weapon to replace his broken hammer, Mjolnir (see Thor: Ragnarok) in order to be able to take on Thanos, so he takes Rocket Raccoon and Groot with him to Nidavellir. While there, they help a dwa...
