"For he who is least among you all--he is the greatest." (Luke 9:48)
Today, my family and I finally went to see the film "The Passion of the Christ." The pain, the suffering Jesus went through was shown clearly, his love for those who hated him was obvious. I have heard some say that the film was too gory, or that it was anti-semetic, or that it was anti-feminist. I feel that these individuals were projecting their rejection of the message on the film. It was not the blood they had a problem with, it was the message. The message that Jesus, the Son of God, was tortured and crucified upon a cross to pay for our sins. That they are sinners, and that Jesus came to this earth to pay the penalty for their own sin. Three days after Jesus died, he came back to life, which is an idea that they reject. They cannot accept the truth.
