Because he was crucified, we have eternal life.
Many people think this movie is too bloody and violent; but who can imagine how the only innocent person was humiliated more than a thousand years ago, how he carried a heavy cross and walked onto Calvary.
The suffering of the Lord Jesus will never be overstated by the movie.
I rewatched the movie with some brothers and sisters in the church last Easter. I closed my glasses and skipped many shots, and even hid in another room later.
Every time the Lord Jesus beat me, it seemed as if he hit me, but we deserved this punishment. I, the one who used to be ridiculous and mad, was the one who should be crucified on the cross.
He came into this world in such a humble manner, and was so cruelly killed, forgiving my sin two thousand years later. He endured such pain and humiliation in order to give me freedom, peace, and joy, words that I had never dared to ask for before I knew him.
He paid dead wages for my ignorant struggles in adolescence, self-righteous pride, eye lust, and selfish greed. And I, too, was one of the people who sent him to the cross. I also yelled fanatically in the crowd: "Crucify him! Crucify him!" But he said, "Father, forgive them, what they did , They don’t know. "
Lord Jesus, a little dust like me is not worthy of your salvation; my humbleness is not worthy of your great love. My rebirth, my eternity, and my justification are all because of you, and only because of you.
Lord Jesus, please let me never forget how you took on the whip marks that should have fallen on my body and the nails that should have passed through my palm.
