[man of Yosemite]

It is incredibly graphic, bringing every horror of the indecency and brutality of man into perspective. The treatment of Jesus is demonic in it's cruelty; gratefully the screenplay shifts back to earlier parts of his life to give the viewer some relief, then jars you back into the suffering as the humiliation continues. It may be too much for younger viewers to handle. I know it riveted me to my seat. You know you're watching a movie, but it is as real as being there, it's shocking.

Jesus said,"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." Our generation is seeing Jesus lifted up from the earth, being drawn to the cross to make our decisions, who do we think the Son of man is. He is putting the question out in front of the world, and the response to that question is life or death. Yes, it is just a movie that Mel Gibson desired to make, but the decisions that are made as we view this picture of the Christ, are answers to a question put forth from God.
