The Passion

Praying. I really hope this opens people's hearts.

I am praying that many many good things come out of this film. For all of you taking your non-believing friends and co-workers, I pray God fills you with wisdom to be able to share with them the truth about God and that it may indeed plant seeds that will eventually bear fruit in their lives. I also pray for all who believe and will watch this film that we all will truly understand the magnitude and scope of Christs sacrifice for us and that we can truly yield our hearts and lives to him and love and follow him more and more each day.

I am so excited for this film. I can't wait to watch it!

Praying in agreement. Lord I lift up all non-believers and ask that You open the windows of their hearts. Help each one come to Jesus. Cover each person with Your Holy anointing. We pray Lord, that all non-believers will be saved. In the mighty name of Jesus "Amen"

hi. i am a new member and a roughly three year Christian.

I was fortunate enough to see an advanced screening last night (tuesday) with my church group. in all actuality, the movie itself was what inspired me to join a Christian newsgroup.

I feel it necessary to warn people who are excited about seeing this movie, that it is not pure entertainment. it is ruthlessly violent so i would not take the children. however it is very accurate and moving overall. i don't want to spoil anyone from seeing the movie, by any means.

in fact i came away totally silent but with more resolve as a Christian.

we learn in sunday school about the crucifixion, but seeing it so graphically depicted was disturbing to say the least. to see this beautiful man. my savior. god made flesh. being tortured so graphically, and the things he went through made me weep. i cried through the last twenty minutes of the movie because i realized that it was I who did that to Him

the scourgings and the beatings and the torture were to pay for our sins. my sins. your sins. a man who had only ever done things to help people being treated so brutally moved me so much and He did it for me. for you. for all of us who are unworthy.

in essence i definitely recommend the movie to any Christian but non believers may not necessarily be inspired by it. they might just consider it brutally violent.

me personally i pray that this movie will inspire Christians to think on their lives. if Jesus was willing to do this for me, i should be willing to deny the tempatation of sin for Him.

thank you and may God bless all of you.

Let us take a lesson from the fig tree, that this film is released this year must surely be a sign of the times we live in. I join you in praying that hearts will be opened to The Christ, and especially to that first Alleluia person, St Mary Magdalene. Praise God.
