'To triumph in Christ'
Whatever anyone thinks about the film The Passion of the Christ, it has catapulted the story of all stories, about the King of all kings, to the front of our attention. Which is where that story belongs.
What the story shows, but some viewers feel the movie doesn't, is a message of love so unstoppable that heaps upon heaps of hatred could not quench it. A love so pure, so unwaveringly drawn from the Father, that it couldn't help but transform what looked like the worst defeat into the greatest victory. A love so unselfish that, even in the midst of agony, it flowed with assuring comfort to a panicky criminal, also being crucified. A love so universal that thousands of years later hearts everywhere are still being warmed and quickened and remade by it.
