Wow. There are absolutely now human words to describe what Jesus Christ did for us. We've all heard, countless times, the horrific description of Christ's crucifixion - but to see it: I am speechless. No adequate verbal descriptions exist in any language to recount this horrific sacrifice. Watching The Passion of The Christ was like witnessing an execution; an execution I took part of. With every lash of the flagrum I was overcome with chest-wrenching sobs; simultaneously I felt an enormous wave of compassion mingled with the painful knowledge I was the one holding the whip. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs, "STOP!" But it wouldn't: it couldn't; Christ gave his blood for mine.

Hebrews 9:22
In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

1 Peter 2:24
He carried our sins in His own body when He died on a cross. In doing this, we may be dead to sin and alive to all that is right and good. His wounds have healed you!

We must not make a mockery of the Ultimate Sacrifice. In our own lives, we cannot belittle it with disobedience and laziness.
