Passions of Christ

The question

I watched the movie "The Passion of the Christ" and it really touched my heart; what does Your Grace think of it?

The answer

Let the movie effect on your heart be a long lasting one; encouraging you to get closer to God and know Him better. The movie is almost accurate. The trial and the reaction of the Jews and Romans are in fact accurate. The crow that poked the thief is fictional but symbolic (Prov 30:17). The Holy Bible does not say that the woman accused of adultery, and about to be stoned had followed the Lord to the cross. In general, the movie as a whole is good.
