When the movie, Passion of the Christ was shown here some years ago, it was the talk of the town. Some churches used that opportunity as a means to reach out to the lost.
While I was viewing the movie, my eyes were closed for a large portion of the time particularly the part when Christ was tortured, when He was whipped, when He suffered on our behalf. The pain was unbearable. He took our place though we are the guilty ones. He did not deserve to receive some inhumane torture but the love of God compelled Him to take it all in. How can we ever thank Him enough for the precious gift of salvation! We are privileged to know Your freedom, peace, comfort, strength, hope, rest and joy. Saturate our total being with You, Lord. When you open our mind’s eye, we will see what You see and we will feel what You feel. Infuse us with Your strength to love and serve You all the days of our lives.
