My 3 packets tissue review

Passion of Christ

Wow, a really powerful movie on what Christ suffered for us.
It really hurts, watching him being humiliated, blashed, whacked, whipped, flesh ripped, nailed....
I can only imagine the type of pain he went through.
Its unbearable, just watching it on screen for 1+ hour.
Can you imagine Christ going through all that without a chance to gasp ?
They started abusing him the moment they captured him at night.
I believe that in real life, his suffering was worse than the film can depict.

Yet throughout the whole ordeal, he was so brave.
Such passion and sturborn love for us.
From the film, and imagination, one can fathom that after all the physical torture He received, He still forced himself to go on, no running away, no fear, no pleading for leniency.

The body was broken, seriously unable to go on, yet HIS sturborn love, faith, and desire to bring salvation by delivering himself is so incredibly strong and heart wrenching.
No other man will be able to do it the way he did. His faith, love, motivation, spirit....
I, for one, know that I can't.

The cross he was crucified on was so big and heavy. Even from there you can feel his determination.
It requires 2 - 3 strong, healthy soldiers to carry it, but he hauled it himself till he can no longer....
no need to mention the condition he was in.
Lord....

Its seriously unbearable in such a heart wrenching way.
I had to keep myself from crying out loud.
though i didn't managed to do that a couple of times ...

3 packets of tissue.
2 for myself and 1 for the stranger guy sitting next to me with tears streaming down his face.

Rating of film: 9.5 out of 10.

Jesus Christ: More than beyond 1,000,000%
