I have never viewed, nor do I have a desire to, the Passion of the Christ. Just reading about the horrible torture he endured was enough to convince me. I did NOT need to see it in bloody, graphic, minute-by-minute detail to appreciate what he went through for us all.

AND...the Jews did not kill Christ. We ALL did, but as Jesus said, "No man takes my life from me, I give it up of myself.". Praise his holy name!

Amen. That is because you have been given spiritual discernment to understand His sacrifice without having to witness it firsthand.

God gives to all His children that ability.

Amen!

I had a similar feeling for months.

Finally relented and saw it . . . to honor Him who Lived it . . .

I thought it depicted well . . . though still not as vividly as He must have felt it . . . the price He paid . . . as well as a movie could depict it.

Yet, I often go longer declining to play my audio Bible of major portions of the Gospels because it grieves me so to hear yet again how He was treated . . . for me.
