Meanwhile, "The Passion" has become one of those rare films that Hollywood analysts call "a cultural event," partly because of criticism that the film is too violent, and partly because of criticism that it is anti-Semitic. This is the greatest impact "The Passion" can have-if Christians respond to the intensity of His passion by deciding they need to show more of the love of Christ. I hope the power of the "The Passion" stays with Christians I hope they take to heart Jesus' suffering on their behalf. Some openly wept during the film most left the theaters in stunned silence. Now, moviegoers across America are reacting the same way.
Every one of us who saw it felt that 'this is what He went through for me.' It is the most vivid portrayal of the suffering of Christ I have ever seen on film. When Mel Gibson showed it to our Regent University School of Communication faculty last fall, we were deeply moved. People who see "The Passion" recognize this. It was your sins, my sins that put Him through that suffering. That makes it an intensely personal film. The most important thing anyone can say about "The Passion of the Christ" is its central message: Jesus Christ suffered, and died, for our sins.
