Did it strengthen your relationship with Jesus? Had no effect? Would be interested in your opinion. Thanks.

It was a very moving movie. I saw it three times.
Actually from what I understand the Scriptures to say, there was nothing exagerated about what happened to Jesus.
The Scriptures say He was beaten so badly he was not reconizable as a human being.
It is brutal, but what He did for us is astounding.
I still remember one line of the movie even though it was spoken in the same language Jesus spoke. I'm going to say this as it sounds, probably no where near how it is actually spelled: "heave-a-la-comb", it means, "love one another".
If you have a desire to see it, then do so. It's not your let's get the popcorn, soda and comfy blankies kind of night at the movies....but, it was amazing.
