Benjamin Franklin Parker, commonly referred to as Uncle Ben, is a fictional character who appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is the husband of May Parker and the uncle and father figure of Peter Parker, the Spider-Man.
Uncle Ben’s character was inspired by the founding father of the United States, Benjamin Franklin. This character has become an important part of Spider-Man’s history. His death at the hands of a petty criminal, who had previously been captured by Spider-Man, but chose not to be arrested, became the main factor that inspired Peter Parker.
Before he died, Uncle Ben said a simple but profound meaning: “Along with great power, there is also a great responsibility.” The word imprinted in Peter, and became a kind of moral compass for him when he was venturing out as Spider-Man.
If we feel that the responsibility we bear is so heavy, believe that God is with us. He will give us strength commensurate with the magnitude of the responsibility He entrusts to us. Conversely, if we feel we have great ability, but we only bear a small responsibility, be patient. Moses, before being called to shepherd a great nation, learned to be faithful and responsible as a shepherd of sheep.
Remember, when God gives us great responsibility, He will also equip us with commensurate strength.
