I saw the movie last night, The Passion of the Christ. It was everything I feared it would be, graphic, painful to watch, sad, convicting, eye opening, and vivid. I found myself in a position that I don't know that I have ever been in, I don't know that I have ever visually seen pictures of someone being beaten like that. I guess I never fully realized what happened when he was beaten, and know all the torture devices they used and knew what they were capable of, but I have never seen them in action. For me it was without doubt the worst sequence of the movie, cause I think it is the one that I least visualize in my head. It is so hard to watch and my emotion was so raw that I nearly vomited on the poor guys lap in front of me. Honestly it was more than I could handle, but I think it is important for me know exactly what my sin did to the only blameless man ever to have lived. It was my sin that held him on the cross, it was my sin that caused him to be beaten. That was all I could think of when I watched that movie "This is all because I am a stupid unstoppable sinner", and because God loves me enough to justify me though His Son. My thoughts cannot be expressed accurately so just know this movie is something for every Christian to behold, it will change your view of your salvation and how costly it is.
