Why?
After seeing "The Passion of the Christ," many
moviegoers leave the theater stunned and deeply moved by what they just saw.
Many wonder "Why did this happen to Jesus Christ? Why did He let people do
that to Him?" Many do not fully understand the meaning of what they just
experienced or why they are so moved by it.
Mel Gibson's aim in making the movie was to depict the last 12
hours of Jesus' life in a way no other director ever has, and his movie is,
indeed, very powerful. But Jesus' ministry of teaching, healing, and changing
people's lives lasted over three years. For viewers to fully
understand what "The Passion of the Christ" is all about, they need to
understand what Jesus taught and what the Bible says about Jesus Christ.
Who was He?
What did He teach?
Why did He come to earth?
What does His death on the cross really mean?
And what can His resurrection mean to you personally?
The answers to these vital questions are found only in the
Bible. The Bible is the best-selling book of all time, and there is a good
reason for this. Over the centuries, hundreds of millions of people have found
hope, peace, joy, unconditional love and freedom from guilt by reading the Bible
and putting their faith in Jesus Christ.
You can you find the answers to the above questions at
International Chapel, a church which believes the Bible and teaches it
faithfully. We invite you to come and learn what the Bible says about Jesus, and
about His unconditional love for you. By coming to know Jesus Christ, you will
live a truly meaningful life.
