Went to the matinee this afternoon as a bit of light relief, although watching the new movie of Jesus' life may not quite constitute light relief.
In fact, the sparsely attended showing was silent as we exited, apart from a few random stifled sniffs. It is a good production, edited differently than other similar shows by telling the tale through the eyes of the beloved disciple John.
No surprises, but a few glimpses of the possible pressures on the chief priests and the villain Judas which humanised them and gave a bit of room for compassion and even raised the question of just what I might do in a similar situation. We are always so quick to judge and to assume we would do better under similar pressures.
Well, I don't have much to say, still a bit overwhelmed by the sacrifice Jesus made for me.
It is sometimes good to have some light relief that is actually thought provoking and challenging.
I'll sleep on it.
