Signs?
Just got done reading an article on FoxNews.com (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,111640,00.html) about the filming of the Mel Gibson movie, "The Passion of the Christ." It's amazing what the actor who portrays Christ (Jim Caviezel) went through during filming. He dislocated his shoulder, suffered a lung infection, suffered hypothermia, suffered severe headaches and skin infections from makeup, and - this is too much - was struck by lightning right before they filmed the Sermon on the Mount scene.
What does this mean? Okay, for fun, I want to play out some scenarios (but these are JUST FOR FUN, a-ight?).
1. God doesn't like the movie or Caviezel's portrayal of Jesus, and he was sending the actor a clear message.
2. Satan doesn't like the movie, and he was trying to stop it...again and again and again...hehe.
3. God wanted to make sure that Caviezel truly got 'in character.'
4. Bad crap just happens sometimes...and more often to to some people more than others...heh.
Like I said, that's just interesting to think about (granted, I'm sure there are people somewhere that would get all caught up in the spiritual ramifications of it). But to me, it is pretty ironic to read about how an actor portraying Christ in a movie can literally face so much suffering himself in filming it. Maybe...just maybe...that suffering, which was more than an act for Caviezel, will come across in the film in a way that will remind audiences (are awaken audiences) that Jesus is real...that what happened to him is real...and that his victory over sin is just as real.
Who knows...but we can hope, eh?
