ok..about the movie....this past week there was a special showing in Chicago for Pastors. Two of our church pastors went and brought back a glowing report. A quick synopsis of it goes something like this.....bringing tears to their eyes, it was the best and most accurate protrayal of the gospels ever seen. It is brutally honest, R rating because of the violence, Christs final day was not pretty, as we all know.
~In fact, our pastors were so impressed and moved by the film, that they have already resevered a local theather for first showing for our church family. Then planning on a short worship service afterwards, because it is such a moving film.
~Also, just a quick note, after the showing in Chicago, Mel Gibson was there to meet and speak with any and all of the Pastors that were there, to answer any of their questions.

Now, personally, I am looking forward to seeing this movie. Over the past few years there has been much controversy about it. I can see the headlines know..."Passion is the root of all evil" or something to the likes. I know there will be many many people who will be hating and protesting over this film, I'm sure. Maybe they need to open their hearts to the Truth.
~~my humble opinion on the last part~~
