The Passion of The Christ

by Wiseman ~ July 18th, 2003

Here’s my take on The Passion of The Christ. There is no subject more worthy of meditation. There is no event more important in the history of the world. Mel Gibson’s movie, I predict, I pray, will convert thousands. It is not in the least anti-Semitic, except to those who believe the Gospels and the Christian Faith are inherently anti-Semitic.

With that said … I am very reluctant to give unqualified support to any theatrical depiction of Christ. Some of the Eastern Orthodox claim that a theatrical portrayal of Christ is against their canon law. I don’t know, but I would not be surprised. How could a movie, a play, not diminish the reality of Christ in the mind’s eye? He was — He is — the incarnate God. GOD! Can any film possibly do Him justice?
