The Passion Of the Christ review by charis :)

harlow! haven't been coming online for a few days... i heard someone read my blog n got a bit offended... yeah all i gotta say is my dear, i wasnt trying to like purposely fight u back... i wanted u to read it wif an open mind so that u urself wld be blessed n all instead of having to face trouble when it's ur turn... very real..

anyway here i am to talk abt the Passion.. haha yes i watched it... i must say for all the controversy n everything, it was abit of a let down. it's about the last 12 hrs of Christ. the 6 hrs where Jesus hung on the cross for us. it's very visual. but when i heard that pple were actually saying that it was too gory i was so shocked! it wasn't even the least bit... k why was i disappointed... hmm i dunno when i watched it, i had finally a visual of what happened on the cross but it wasn't that great because i knew that what Jesus suffered was much worse than what was portrayed in the movie. when i watched, a tear or two fell but not enough to even fully use a piece of tissue. oh i had some revelations yes but it didn't satisfy because i knew the real thing was worse. much worse. but it was a good movie i must say. the thing about this is that if you're a non-believer, u probably won't noe wad it's about and think it's very gory and all; if you're a believer, you'd find this a good show tho not that satisfying especially when ur a believing believer... yeah... but it's a good show i say again..

today when i was reading the newspaper i read how the actor wanted to give up (when he's not done up like Jesus he's really very handsome! that smile! but my Jesus is even more handsome!). He said that it was tough... haha i guess it would be waking at 2 am everyday. and being struck by lightning twice. and wearing nothing but a piece of loin clothe in temperatures of -1 degrees. but imagine Jesus. how much worse His suffering was. not only REALLY sweating blood. He had to REALLY bear the sins of the world. all the wrath of God was poured upon Him so that there would be no more barrier between us and God. see the real stress of it all. the actor's suffering was nothing compared to the real thing but yes this shows us too that no one can ever be Jesus. no one can take His place. and because It is Finished, no one ever will have to ever. except to film such shows. haha... yes. it wasn't the show itself that made me see the wonders of the cross but all these small bits of things outside the show. i pray u see them too. :) be blessed
