There were many poignat scenes. The one where I lost it, though, was when Jesus fell and his Mother Mary ran to him, and the look that passed between them, and Mary flashing back to when Jesus was a little boy, and he fell. Very powerful.

I saw it yesterday as well. The scene you spoke about had all of us sobbing. The film was a wonderful portrait of Mary and presented Jesus in a way I've never seen in a movie. He was so human. It was an amazing movie. I'm still digesting the whole thing.

That was very good.

However.

The scene that did it for me was the release of Barrabas.

NO matter how ugly our sin. NO matter how guilty we are found by the laws of Man...Jesus will take our place and set us free.

Another was the crow pecking out the eyes of the thief who mocked Jesus. The thought running through my mind was, "None so blind as those who will not see."

And how fitting that the members of the Sanhedrin rode away from Calvary on donkeys. Hadn't seen (noticed) any animals until then, but there they were riding off on donkeys. My thought: "What a bunch of asses."

"Mother, I make all things new"

I nearly came unglued at that point, as well.

Yeah, that was the scene that got to me, too. I went with my wife and in-laws (their second viewing). I was trying to keep it in, but the mother-and-child connection was the gut-punch that did me in. In fact, the whole movie was a 2-hour gut-punch. Very powerful.

Lord yes. She falters for a moment, you can see the fear; and then he falls, and a mother's love trumps human fear.

"See mother, I make all things new."

It ripped my HEART out, I'm telling you.

Jesus is Lord.

Gibson is inspired.

And, 'it is as it was.'

IMHO, of course.
