The life of Jesus Christ is often viewed as a positive soft spoken story that is able to be consumed by anyone. Although, the Suffering of all of our sins came at a hefty price that is often not understood. Perhaps words don't do enough to really drive home the burden that was paid at Calvary in ancient Jerusalem. How about a horror story then? One so brutal that it turns your stomach or causes many to leave movie theaters back in 2004 or never view the movie at all. Today Johnathan and Daniel unpack Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of the Christ.' Let's learn a thing or two about what it really meant to carry the cross for the world's sin. Even though many may like to question the legitimacy of it all, ask yourselves: If true, would your attitude and mindset change on the way you see the world?
