Well I saw The Passion of the Christ last night......it is a very powerful movie.
It seems almost as if it is suspended in a place where movies rarely go now days. We look for the deepest meanings in movies like the Matrix(s) and the Lord of Rings, in Passion you do not have to "look" for it at all.
He died so the world could be saved.....he died so the world was worth saving.....he died for every single person that we hate.....and he died for you and me.
Watching the movie, I kept thinking, could I do this? would I have had the strength. True we don't know exactly how much punishment he endured, but if it was 1/10 of what I saw, would I have that fortitude. His own mortal salvation was there with each moment. All he had to do was deny himself, even if he did it in private with pilate. But he didn't. Whatever your belief, Christian, Muslim, Jew, or Pegan. Even if he holds no value for your spiritual life, he still died for all of us. Because he knew he was dying for the sin of the world. Please lets not forget that.....
Gay Marriage, Martha Stewart, Janet Jackson, none of these things are important. Loving one another and sharing joy is.
Cherish the day, and everyday there after, they are the only days we have.
