Subject: "The Passion of the Christ" |
Bible Note: Ed, I agree. No film can ever take the place of God's written word, or sufficiently fix in our minds the way Scripture can the message of the gospel of Christ. One cannot expect to find in a two-hour film anything to approach the richness of the Bible. In our hurry-up plasticine society of the microwave oven and the lightning-speed internet, we are not unlike the little blue-haired woman sitting on a church pew conversing with her friend before the beginning of the worship service. Her friend asked the little blue-haired woman whether she had read the Bible all the way through. She said no, she hadn't but had always meant to. "But now I'm getting old and my eyes are not what they used to be," she said, "so I guess I'll just wait and see the movie." This was in the days immediately before Cecil B. DeMille's Hollywood extravaganza "The Bible" was scheduled to be released. --Hank |
