RECENTLY HEARD ON THE MORNING LIGHT SHOW:
Why "The Passion of Christ" is Rated R
The "R" of course is because of the violence, the gore.
In movie terms "R" stands for RESTRICTED,
but in this movie "R" stands for RELEVANT,
for REALISTIC,
for it REALLY happened for a REASON
because we were REBELLIOUS
we needed a REDEEMER,
we needed to be RECONCILED,
we needed to be RECOVERED,
we needed to be REGENERATED.
Jesus needed to be REJECTED
so that we could have a RELATIONSHIP
not just a RELIGION.
The "R" is to REMIND
us to REMEMBER what Jesus did to
REMOVE our sin to RENDER Satan powerless,
to RESCUE us from eternity in hell.
The "R" rating is to show that
Jesus was RESPONSIBLE for giving you REST.
As a RESULT of his death Jesus RETIRED your debt.
The "R" rating means that some will be REPULSED,
some will REFUSE to believe,
some will be RELUCTANT,
some will think you are RIDICULOUS
in believing that a death was REQUIRED.
The "R" rating means
that the RESULT of sin has been
REVERSED and now through faith in
Christ your REWARD is eternity and
you are now RIGHTEOUS before God
because you have RECEIVED
him as the RULER of your soul.
What a REVOLUTIONARY and
RADICAL solution to REDEEM mankind.
