The Passion: 20 minutes after viewing

I have to say I’m numb.

I’ve seen one of the worst beatings ever filmed, and I can’t seem to get Mary’s gaze (which seemed to last an eternity), out of my head. It was like I was answering for his death with every minute of her direct stare.

I think the message was simple: Jesus was beaten horribly for me. His death meant my freedom. I’m responsible.

I honestly can’t say anything else at the moment. I really don’t know how to arrange everything I’m feeling.

I hope that will do for now.

    Yeh it takes about 3 days (oddly enough) for you to get back to normal. You will be thinking about this movie a lot the next 72 hours. This movie makes the Scriptures come alive for me.
