Oh my! I can't wait. I only watched the Passion of the Christ one time. I really can't bear in my heart to see it again. The pain, the “breakdown” was too, too much.

When the movie first came out, I flew into town to see my daughter and then my folks for Easter. I went with my best friend to see in on Easter. We sat in the theater, holding each other and crying.

There were groups of people, coming in right after church in their Easter fineness. There was crying, there was shouting and there was impromptu hymn singing breaking out. I never experienced anything like that in a theater. Never....

I'm crying now as I'm relieving that experience. I will see this movie. I owe it to put some money in the pocket of Mel Gibson, as he broke open wide the hollywood monopoly on movie making.

Understood. I’ve stayed connected to the movie through its breathtaking soundtrack composed by John Debney.

I hear you. It was traumatic, and I'm sure it still did not even come close to the actual horror of the whole thing.

I went to see The Passion of The Christ with a group of men from a men’s ministry that I’m part of. The theater was crowded, so wasn’t able to sit with my friends.

I sat near two men who were seminary students.

Part way through the movie, when Jesus was being whipped, I asked God, “Is my heart so cold? I’m not feeling a thing.”

Several minutes later, I heard some man in my area wailing at the top of his lungs. Believe it or not, I soon realized that was me! I couldn’t stop. I wailed through the rest of the show.

The two seminary students assumed I was convicted of my sins. But that wasn’t it. I couldn’t deal with what my beloved Jesus was subjected to.

When the movie was over, the theater staff came in to clean up. But no one was moving. They stood there, not sure what to do. When people finally exited the theater, people were saying to each other, “Look at their faces! This is going to be impactful.”

I bought a DVD of the movie, but I’ve never had the nerve to watch it again.

I look forward to these two movies.

We watch it every Good Friday. It is traumatic, but so was what happened to Jesus. It is necessary to remember.

I think if people really understood what He went through for us, it’d be a different world. Gibson’s movie is probably thye first one to come close.

It's tough to watch ... I do it occasionally.
