Bible Question:
Hello, my questions is regarding my husband. He's a born again believer that is not faithful to things of the Lord. After seeing the movie "Passion for Christ" he stated that he wouldn't tell anyone about that movie because it was so graphic and he really didn't like it. He's 34 and watch every scary, movie out there that has all the blood and everything. I said so you are saying what Jesus went through was nothing to you and I took it serious, because no one is going to go through anything like that for no one, I don't care who you are. And I took it personal, because he went through all of that for me, you and my husband and for you to say that. But anyway I just felt in my spirit or it could have been feelings that I was going to stop praying for him because he knows the word and he knows what he has to do, so I just put him in God's hand. But since then he has been cranky and grumpy, could that be because I had stopped praying for him and he has no covering? Another thing the Lord laid on my heart to start back prying for him out of my "Power of a Praying wife book" I'm going to read each prayer each day until he is transformed I don't care if it takes 2 months, I'm going to do this. I would really like to know is that the reason for his attitude? Thanks so much |
Bible Answer: Hi, 8788! True, I feel what you are saying about Christ (Isaiah 52:13 thru 53:12)... When questioned about his movie Mel Gibson used this particular idea as his defense: He died for all of us, we are all guilty of His death (or something to that effect). We are commanded to pray (always) by Jesus; not just for our relatives and for other believers but for all of mankind--specifically for our enemies (or those who irk and test our limits). Do not place on your shoulders the guilt or problems of your husband. Whatever impacted him about "The Passion of the Christ" may be deep in his subconscious or it may be right at the surface! You have no control either way. I heard the old voilence excuse way back even before the movie had hit the theatres--know any person who finds the old black and white horror movies, which relied mostly on the music to create its moods, more appealing than today's full color, full sound, full special effects, in-your-face dismemberment and slashing and dashing and stripping and oozing any-excuse-to-mutilate movies? Could it be that the "Passion" hit your husband so hard that he had to look into himself and recognize that, as many of us, he has fallen short of his responsibility to Christ? Pray, always, specially for those you love and for those who's loyalty is divided (God some, the world almost all) and for those who fail to recognize Christ as the suffering servant who gave his life for us! God Bless! Angel |
