Amazed by grace, now I see

Thanks to the Inspired Hillbilly for this video reminder about where our hope for peace originates.

I remember prior to the release of Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ how many speculated how the violence of the movie might incite Christians to retaliate against the Jewish people.

We never know how psychopaths will respond, but I certainly remember how Mark Piatt and I did. Members of our church, Parkview Church of Christ, purchased a hundred or so tickets for a particular showing. When Wendi and I arrived, there were long lines waiting to get in. Mark and I were joking, having a good ol' time.

However, when we left the movie, we were very sullen. We barely looked each other in the eye, gave one another a nod and left ... never saying a word. Actually not able to say a word.

The movie painted a very graphic picture of what Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, the Holy One of God, endured in order to purge humanity of the problem of sin.

Jesus came to take away the sins of the world, and this video clip reminds me of the love He has for all of us.
