This Sunday is Easter, which makes this Holy Week, and today Holy Thursday. It got me to thinking about the movie “The Passion of the Christ.” I bought the DVD years ago, with every intention of watching it shortly thereafter. But, for some reason, I never could quite bring myself to do so. I’m not sure what it was that was holding me back – I’m a believer and obviously familiar with the story of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection, but I suppose the idea of actually seeing it recreated in (what I’d been forewarned was) graphic detail was a bit more daunting than reading about it in the Bible

Comments:

Excellent lesson for this Easter weekend.

Thank you for posting this. I also find the crucifixion scene tremendously horrific and extremely hard to watch. But in spite of the horror my Savior knew he would face, He made that sacrifice for me and all others who chose to receive His free gift. I make it a point to thank Him every day for that because I know I don't deserve it. I am grateful for everything He does for me. Happy Easter everyone!

How much did He love you? This much: As the Second Member of the Trinity, Jesus came to this Earth as the perfect Son of God through a virgin pregnancy, where He lived a sinless life, fulfilling over 100 Old Testament Prophecies as a sign to Israel their Messiah had arrived. But He would be rejected by His people, where they would try Him in six illegal trials, where He was slapped, beaten, whipped, and spit on, without ever crying out. ("As the lamb before the shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth") All these events were moving Christ to become the "Perfect Lamb of God," who would "hang on a tree," for six hours, during which time God the Father would judge the sins of the entire human race in His body over a three hour period, during which time a supernatural darkness surrounded the cross to hide His agony. It was during that time that Jesus Christ, the Eternal God and Creator of the Universe, was made sin for us and separated from God the Father and God the Holy Spirit, as Perfect God can have nothing to do with sin, but to judge it. Jesus voluntarily accepted this "separation death" for each of us! At the end of this horrible "spiritual death" Jesus said in Aramaic, "Tetelestai," which means, "It is finished." His Salvation Work was complete, as there is no more to be done. That separation was unique in all eternity - God offering an incredible sacrifice for vile, wicked, evil mankind. Jesus would rise from the tomb after three days, as the "sign of Jonah," to proclaim His victory over death for all mankind and would remain on Earth 40 more days speaking before crowds of hundreds before Ascending to Heaven to be seated at the right hand of the Father. We have His Salvation, His Word, His Spiritual Life, and the Holy Spirit to help us in our lives, all thanks to Him. Each of us have a chance to accept the free grace gift of Eternal Life through the completed work of Jesus Christ on that Roman cross. Salvation is available by saying, in the privacy of one's own soul, "Father, I understand what Jesus Christ did for me in providing my eternal salvation and I believe in Him." That is the moment of salvation with the believer's new eternal home becoming Heaven. Faith alone, in Christ alone as God's grace gift to all mankind.

#3 - Thank you, for your beautiful testimony. I was especially struck by your sentence, "His Salvation Work was complete, as there is no more to be done." You reminded me of a Truth that I needed to hear this Good Friday. My Godson/nephew is a lost soul. Unfortunately, his mother (my sister) made the mistake of giving him "easy money" during and after college, and supports him to this day. At age 45 he is still an angry and unhappy teenager. He loved fishing as a kid and dreamed of being a fishing boat captain. He began college with the goal of being an oceanographer, but by his sophomore year changed to "environmental science" as that was less vigorous. He pledged a fraternity and adopted the "Animal House" lifestyle. He was drunk at his eventual graduation. I'll give him credit that in order to fulfill his dream as a boat captain, he took a job on a commercial fishing boat for several years. In that time he began to get tattoos that eventually lead to a skull on his neck. After a few seasons he quit his fishing job and then let his hair go Rastafarian. He began to insist his name is "I'man Freeman". (What a hoot!) It was during this time my sister began to give him money...just to tide him over. He hasn't had a job since, because "I'm sick". My sister pays his rent and he has use of her credit card, on which he charges about $2,000 a month. He is anti-God, and falls for every scam "real history" video on You Tube. He sends them to me accompanied by screeds against the Catholic Church. He sent me another bunch on Holy Thursday and, as usual, didn't like my "fact checking". The replies I received today, on Good Friday, were hate-filled. I realized Satan was using the Sacred Triduum to attack me through this lost soul. I've been mournfully praying for him all day, until I read "His Salvation Work was complete, as there is no more to be done." I stood before God and promised I would guide my Godson's precious soul in this earthly life towards Eternal Life. I claimed his soul for Christ that day of his Baptism, and I will never give him up to Satan's minions to torture forever. This life has been enough. His soul will be saved. Jesus, I trust in you.

Never Ending Mask Mandates Bode Well for

The Biden Administration has decided to extend the federal public transportation mask mandate for another two weeks “to monitor [the] uptick in COVID-19 cases,” says the AP’s White House reporter. Joe Biden couldn’t be doing more to elect Republicans if he tried. First things first: The Biden Administration never should have issued that mandate in the first place, and certainly should have allowed that mandate to expire. Vulnerable in-cycle Democrats – but I repeat myself – are going to be wondering what they did to anger the leader of their party so much that he decided to hurt them even more as they prepare to campaign this fall.

A Georgia restaurant owner posted a notice on the establishment's window slamming President Joe Biden and his "ignorant" supporters and attributed the rise in supply costs and shortage of workers for his restaurant to the policies implemented by the Biden administration. The sign, posted outside of an Appalachian Grill restaurant in Cartersville, Georgia, was initially shared Sunday in a Reddit forum before going viral on several social media platforms. The notice instructed Biden voters who have no regrets about their vote in the 2020 election to take their business somewhere else. "If you voted for Brandon's Build Back BS

When historians study the disaster that was the Biden administration, they will find many factors that contributed to the historic level failure we are witnessing. At the top of the list is a president who is clearly just not up to the job. Whether due to age, cognitive decline or general ineptitude, Joe Biden has not been able to lead America. Nobody wants a weak president. People can smell weakness, and Biden reeks of it. The president put himself in a further hole by surrounding himself with a young staff driven more by a rigid, left-wing ideology than a desire to help the lives of everyday Americans.

Sometime slightly less than 2,000 years ago on a Friday, a carpenter's son stood silent before the fifth Roman governor of the Roman province of Judea, Pontius Pilate. The local leaders in Jerusalem had plotted to kill the man, named Jesus. The plot sped with unchecked momentum when gossip began spreading Jesus had raised another man named Lazarus from the dead. Knowing he was innocent of any crimes, Pilate tried to let the man go. But the crowd would not be placated, and Pilate decided to let the crowd choose between freeing Jesus or an insurrectionary named Barabbas. The crowd chose Barabbas.

It’s Good Friday and those Christians who observe (trust me, I know some who do not—go figure), are spending the day contemplating, commemorating, and honoring the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins. The symbolism of Christ laying down his life for us is most keenly mirrored in those who have served our country. Christ is given the highest honor, because he is God. But those who make the sacrifice to lay down their lives for people they do not know, as well as future generations, is a reason for honor and respect to be given, especially in death.

New York Times Op-ed on Holy Weekend:

The New York Times published an op-ed Friday that proposes eliminating belief in God — as one of the holiest weekends of the year begins. Titled “In This Time of War, I Propose We Give Up God,” the article claims that God is responsible for “war and violence” and for “oppression and suffering,” and suggests that people stop teaching children about Him. Author Shalom Auslander, who is disillusioned about his upbringing in a religious Jewish community in New York, argues (original emphasis): God, it seems, paints with a wide brush. He paints with a roller. In Egypt, said our rabbi, he even killed first-born cattle.

It comes amid successive reports of soaring inflation, although the administration has stressed repeatedly that decisions on leasing primarily impact long-term, rather than short-term supply, and has called on companies to explore for oil and gas on existing leases.
