My husband and I just watched "Passion of Christ". Its rated R for violence and very bloody. I hated it, just like the last time. I force myself to look (most of the time). I just can't stop crying. Just seeing the beatings, the pain, the blood, the nails, the crown of thorns, the anguish makes real. And I am a sinner, I am evil. I am not worth this love. But He did it anyways. He died for me. For you. It seems so unreal. So wrong for Him to suffer in innocence. He was/is so holy.
So happy that the cross is not where it ended. But that He rose again. A new Kingdom! So that we may have life. Saved from sin because a sacrifice has been made. Praise God!!
And I can see Jesus looking at us in pain fulled eyes and feeling as He can't get His breath as "we" celebrate Easter with coloring eggs, hunting eggs, and a Easter bunny. It's the same as those people cheering "cruify Him". It's the same as spitting on Him. It's the same as saying "I don't know Him".
