His failure and greatness

What is the meaning of love for the enemy?

When Jesus was physically annihilated by worldliness and ignorance, he blindly gave in, did not struggle, carried out his tolerant faith, did not complain, and let the masses abuse him. I can only admire this great experiment, you know, when faced with collective madness, sober people are easily disappointed and discouraged. Those who are ignorant and mediocre, shut their eyes and listen to the truth, cowardly withdraw from public opinion, and cheer at the performance of blood and massacre. I really want to ask, what is worthy of your kindness? Why bow your head, why not avoid the insults, why suffer the unbridled harm of these needless and humble people, why give way to things that harm civilization and progress, why not correct the mistakes and make them correct, why do you be arrogant and arrogant Space for performance.

For Jesus, “the problem is not justice, but kindness.” He believed until death that human nature will not be vicious to the end. He believes that evil is the result of ignorance, a rough stone wrapped in raw jade. He ignores the objective existence of evil as a part of human nature, and blindly supports its inherent rare value. I would think that Jesus' attitude towards the world was like being treated by biological parents to children, pampering and indulging. I suspect that this result is just to condone evil and cannot really lead people to the beautiful world he believes in.

However, he challenged the cruel and bloodthirsty bottom line of human nature with his tolerance. I only know that his sacrifice made us lose to him forever. Faced with such a thing, I can't wash my hands and give him to others, nor can I turn around cowardly in the crowd of onlookers. For me, who is not a Christian, Jesus, as a real person in history, is more powerful than he is as the God of Christianity. If there has ever been a person who has gone through such extreme things and still forgives everything, you can believe that tolerance and love will happen under any circumstances, because it has really happened.

After the death of Jesus as a historical figure, Christians also suffered unfair discrimination and persecution for a long time, but they “understood these sufferings with unheard of courage and became witnesses of this new power of faith... ...These martyrs were later worshipped as the first saints." "At night, Christians... meet in these underground passages and discuss the doctrine of Jesus, distribute the sacrament, and encourage each other when they see new persecutions... …(They) believe in the gospel and are willing to endure all the sufferings that Christ has endured for it." Their teacher Jesus Christ taught: The greatest suffering in the world has its own meaning, believe in everything, hope in everything, endure in everything, and love is forever. Don't stop.

    Although I don't believe in Jesus, this is all wrong in religious movies.

The Passion of the Christ quotes

  • Caiphas: They say you're a king. Where is this kingdom of yours? What line of kings do you descend from? Speak up! You're just the son of some obscure carpenter, no? Some say you're Elijah, but he was carried off to Heaven in a chariot! Why don't you say something? You've been brought here as a blasphemer! What do you say to that? Defend yourself.

    Jesus: I have spoken openly to everyone. I've taught in the Temple where we all gathered. Ask those who have heard what I have to say.

    Temple Guard: Is that how you address the High Priest? With arrogance?

    [the Temple guard strikes Jesus with authority]

    Jesus: If I have spoken evil, tell me what evil I have said. But if not, why do you hit me?

  • Annas: Yes, we'll listen to those that have heard your blashpemies. Good! Let's hear them!

    Accuser: He cures the sick by magic! With the help of devils! I've seen it. He casts out devils, with the help of devils.

    Accuser: He calls himself the King of the Jews!

    Accuser: No, he calls himself the Son of God! He said he would destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days!

    Accuser: Worse! He claims he's the Bread of Life! And if we don't eat his flesh or drink his blood we won't inherit eternal life.

    Caiphas: Silence! You're all under this man's spell. Either offer proof of his wrongdoing or be quiet!

    Nicodemus: This entire proceeding is an outrage. All I've heard from these "witnesses" is mindless contradiction!
