  1. I am aware that this is a long dead thread. But I was not in here to comment on it when it was fresh. I have witnessed many reactions to this movie. But none of them are really a reaction to the violence, or the producer. They are a reaction to Jesus. How you feel about Him will determine how you react to the graphic portrayal of His suffering. Are you in love with Him? How we feel about a movie will die here, but how we feel about Him will last for eternity. One of the most poingaint moments of the movie for me was a shot that showed Jesus laying in a very large pool of His blood after being scourged. That blood is so precious to me I cannot express it. On the way home from the movie I looked over at my beautiful 7 year old son. And I was struck deeper than ever before with the truth, “By His stripes we were healed.” My son was sitting there looking out the car window in quiet beauty because that blood that was spilled healed him from a very advanced case of cancer. There is no greater love than a man lay his life down for a friend. I love Him for what He did with every cell of my being. If He was willing to go through it for me, I want to know it, see it, live it and praise Him for it. He deserves everything that we can give Him. I believe that this movie gives Him honor because it does not take the enormity of what He did and try to play it down so that a lukewarm church will feel comfortable with it. The question is will we give Him honor?
