Reflections the Day After Seeing the Movie, The Passion of The Christ

In Scripture Jesus is called our Creator, Lord, Master, Redeemer, Friend, Brother and many other things, and he is more in addition to what he is called.

My wife Nanci, whom I deeply respect, and who is also my best friend, sat beside me at The Passion yesterday on the end of the row in case she had to leave because of being emotionally overwhelmed. She didn’t have to leave, but cried steadily, from Gethsemane on. So did I. In our car, Nanci finally broke the silence and said, “I kept thanking Jesus for being my hero.”

He is far more than a hero, of course—but he certainly is that. The movie brought me closer to Jesus and to Nanci. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
