This morning, on the way out the door, I caught a commercial for an upcoming Deborah Norville interview. The clip went something like this, "Tired of your kids being shown violence? Well some are saying Mel Gibson's new movie the Passion of Christ is entirely too violent." This could be its own expository essay. The average kid's so desensitized to violence these days, I'm sure little Tommy will be fine. As for the media, I say sob sob sob, cry me a river. I've not seen the movie, but I can predict that their depiction of Christ's death doesn't even come close to reality. I believe it was the most horrendous crime ever committed against another man. Unfathomable. And I am so thankful for it because God only knows where I'd be right now without Christ's redemption power. A mess.
