The Passion of the Christ

which seemed impossible the year before. For such a young person, I sure did realize how mature I was. I learned the habit of not complaining about what is wrong and instead getting up to actually fix it. Having experienced this, I learned that my passion was in making a difference in other people's’ lives. I know I am driven to spend the rest of my life doing it. I want my career involving connecting with kids and their feelings of insecurity while pushing them to better their health. If I…

The painting that I chose from the gallery was The Penitent Magdalene, created by Flemish artist Abraham Janssens around the year 1620. I really liked this painting and was drawn towards it because the woman represented in it looks very sorrowful, upset, and perhaps even a little lonely, tear mark clearly visible by her eyes. Despite this, she looks like she is contemplating something important and troubling to her. Perhaps it could be an event in her life that has gone wrong? Her arm is resting…

In Bangkok, Thailand, I faced several prejudices mostly because I was poor. Back in my country, the families had to pay for their children’s education. So those that born into the families of doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, politician, and other high paying occupation get to go to the “fancy” school. Growing up in a family of single mom who sell insurance and second hand clothing for a living did not help me much in school. No money mean no future in Thailand. One cannot be successful in life…

As a child it was instilled in me by my parents that I would always have my education no matter what it took. It has been true to this day. I have been forever grateful for the opportunities that I have had as a child to young adult because of them. Although they have helped me tremendously, it would be nothing to them if I hadn’t put in the hard work and dedication that it takes in order to want to learn, excel and grow. I believe that I have done my job to show them why it is even worth it in…

the speaker in “Porphyria’s lover” is certainly not devoid of passion or emotion, he views the relationship to be empty of life, or dead. The evidence to support this claim comes from two occurrences. Firstly, the detail that he felt so strongly, and had such a fiery passion towards Porphyria. The poem is riddled with quotes that show his passion, but “Blushed bright beneath my burning kiss” (48) fully encompasses his extreme passion. At this point in the poem Porphyria is dead, and even after…

The Divine Plan The Passion of the Christ, a Hollywood portrayal of the judgement and crucifixion of Jesus Christ, brings to life the Gospel’s narration of the most important day of mankind. This paper will demonstrate that although the movie’s depiction slanted towards a bias of the Jewish people being against Jesus, the Sanhedrin were not representatives of the sediment of the Jews. It will also show that Pontius Pilate, a man of consciousness, was ultimately used as a pawn by God to carry…

to add flair to well documented scripture stories. Comparatively, The Passion of the Christ jump-started such a modern trend by carrying out its objective of ‘not holding back’ with a realistic (and brutal) depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. No, it’s not the only film to bring the event to life on either the big or small screen, yet it arguably did it the best. And, in the years following the release of The Passion, it’s become crystal clear that there’s a demand to digest such a…

The passion of Christ was biblically accurate for the most part. Some scenes were created to draw the attention of the audience. There was although some similarities between the movie and the bible. And some that were not even in the bible at all. The movie focuses more on the torture, violence and death of Jesus. There is only a brief scene that shows the resurrection of Christ. In the beginning of the movie, it begins in the garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus is praying. It showed a snake that…

The Passion of the Christ by Amber Mast Introduction- The Passion of the Christ is a movie about Christ’s death. It mainly centers on the pain and suffering Christ went through before his death. But throughout the movie, it shows flashbacks of the days before his death, and on one occasion, when he was a child. The film shows the trial he went through, and how he was accused of not keeping the Sabbath holy and for lying about being the Son of God. Pilot was supposed to be the one to decide his…

It says in the book of acts that "and they said, believe on the lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, And thy house" (act 16:31, KJV). Looking back on my passed five years of knowing Jesus I would describe it as a rollercoaster ride. Back in sixith grade I was going through a transition from Crosswalk to Hang time, Elementary School to middle school, and ultimately finding who I was and knowing Jesus. It was my 2011 Hangtime Winter Whiteout when I accepted Jesus into my life. Every year we…
