just came back from the movie screening - the passion of the Christ.

it's amazing and it touched my heart. the way Jesus was tortured was gross and its simply inhuman. i felt a burning rage in me wanting those stupid officers to wake up, open their eyes and see what they did to their Lord. the way they smiled and laughed when they saw Jesus half dead simply put me off. they even spited at Him!

well, but the entire show was really great. it showed how Jesus gritted through pain and sufferings without God by his side. it was a test ( life's a test ) on his faith for God, and the devil tried to distract Him. sadly, the devil failed! haha!

many people were sniffing in the cinema, and it was quite quiet when the show ended. everyone seems to have a "blank" look on their face=) even sijie was amazed, and he shared something with me that encouraged me=D he said that this is the first time he watched a movie that makes him feels the presence. his GF agreed too =)

well, i felt really bad during the movie. the feeling i had was quite xinku. i felt like crying, but i could not. somehow, it came into my mind that i should not cry as Jesus didn't cry when he went through the sufferings. he cried ONCE, and thats it. i just felt that i should be like him, going strong against tribulations and temptations. even though he was SO BADLY beaten up, he still carried his cross ( of cause with the help of simon? ) till the very end. he didn't whine or complain, but it did it as he wanted to fulfill the purpose God has gave him. that's what life's about, and that made me remember that Jesus came down to earth AS a HUMAN being, like anyone of us. execpt, he was sinless, and he's the only one who can save us.

well, i would be watching the show 2 times more=)
