The Passion of the Christ...
The overly talked about film - "The Passion of the Christ" has indeed proven to me why it's such a big fuss. I saw the movie yesterday, which happens to be Good Friday, and I couldn't stop thinking about it since then.
The images still remained vividly in my mind. As I put myself in Jesus' shoes, I shattered at the thought of having to go through what He did - The sourging, the spitting, the insults. If I had His powers as God, I would have simply given up and just come down from the cross. Actually, I don't think I would have even endured till then. I'd probably want to stop the torture from the time the first whip hits my back. Also, not only do I have to go through the physical pain, I had to endure all the insults that were slapped on me, having to keep quiet as people crucify me for blasphemy, just because I am stating the fact that I am the Son of God.
After watching the film, I'll never look at the crucifix the same way again...
