The Passion of the Christ
March 23, 2008
In 2004, Mel Gibson released his religious blockbuster, "The Passion of the Christ." Millions of people around the world saw his depiction of the arrest, trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Following the movie's release, we went to the actual sites here in Jerusalem where Jesus suffered and died, like the Garden of Gethsemane.
As we look forward to Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and, most importantly, Easter Sunday, it seems like an appropriate time to show the story again.
It's a look back at the movie but more importantly a reminder that Jesus Christ became the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world.
His Resurrection is the central point in history, proof of His divinity and the bedrock of our faith.
As the Easter greeting says: He is Risen! He is Risen indeed! Happy Easter!
