Subject: Thank the Catholics for "The Passion"? |
Bible Note: It is a blessing to read that, mommapbs. The current definitions of the word “Passion” include: “powerful emotion, such as love, joy, hatred, or anger”. “Ardent love”. “Boundless enthusiasm” and “The object of such enthusiasm”. “An abandoned display of emotion”. Another definition is: “The sufferings of Jesus in the period following the Last Supper and including the Crucifixion, as related in the New Testament”. Your point is well taken. The word may well express the determination, enthusiasm and devotion of the Lord as he set his face as a flint to go, and submitted to the sufferings as a sheep would when brought to the slaughter. Thus he showed his love for the Father and for us. O that we would have that attitude in our relationships. John 3:16 -- God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son. 1 John 3:16 -- Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1Pe 4:8 -- And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves. He said (John 15:12) “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you”. How am I demonstrating passion? He has shed it abroad in my heart. I try to demonstrate it to the brethren by, among other thing, coming onto this forum. I demonstrate it to the world by preaching the Gospel, which is what I will be doing later this evening. But that was not your question. You asked, “How are we demonstrating the passion?” I think that love flares up here from time to time, and it is a team of us who will be presenting the gospel to the world in a few hours. That movie is popularizing the word “Passion”. Let us use the opportunity to provoke each other to love and to good works. Let us love each other in fellowship, and the unsaved by giving them the Gospel, with a passion. |
