In reply to Paul Harvey Comments on The Passion, posted by Simus on March 6, 2004, at 0:18:01
Thanks, Simus, for sharing with us the words of Paul Harvey. I've always loved to listen to him tell "the rest of the story" ever since I was a little girl.
I love it when you post - you always write something I can connect with on a deep level!
I loved this movie, although it shook me up greatly. It was so vivid, so real, as if I were there. While it was necessarily violent, I don't believe it even touched the sufferring Jesus endured, especially as He was literally carrying the sins of everyone in the world. The cross was light compared to that weight.
I loved that Mel Gibson used his own hand to hold the nail, to symbolize that he, as each of us, is responsible for the death of Jesus. He laid down His life, so that we can live, here and hereafter.
Shalom, Dena
