The Passion Of The Christ

I saw the movie last week. It was a powerfully moving experience as I watched the Gospel's account of our Lord Jesus Christ's Passion unfold in front of me. There was some creative licence taken in certain scenes but I felt that overall it held true to the NT accounts.

There were many times that I was moved to tears not only by the sacrifice of being scourged and crucified but by Jesus' compassion and forgiveness of those who did this to him.

I found nothing anti-semetic about the film. Quite contrary, I felt pity for the Pharisees and Sanhedrin for being so blind to who was standing in front of them. I left with no hatred of the Jewish people.

The lasting impression I have of the film is that I want to be a better Christian and to follow our Lord Jesus Christ more deeply and openly.

I would recommend all Christians and non-Christians who are interested in learning about Jesus to see this film.

Very eloquently put! I have to agree with you, i felt the same way, i was very moved, but yet disturbed. Disturbed at how (like you said) blind people can be . I did like the film....but frankly, it was just too much for me to handle. I think i might have to wait at least a year or so , before i can watch it again.
