In Reply to: Why do people feel compelled to once again watch Jesus crucified with a bag of popcorn and a coke? posted by dennzio on February 27, 2004 at 15:02:06:
The endurance during the suffering from the violence was a needed piece of reality of what the Christ went through for every human being. Believe it or not, this was real and true love story. All the Hollywood stuff out there and nothing about Jesus. Finally something new, and New it was as it was a very powerful film with documentary realism. The greatest love is to lay down your life for your friends.
It is not fun watching Jesus suffering, it is moving to see he did it for us. No one is there chomping at the popcorn enjoying seeing one being tortured. It is way beyond that.Who is this stone of stumbling and rock of offence?
The apostle Peter captures this idea and reminds his readers, "Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed." (1 Peter 2:6-8). He combines two verses from Isaiah (28:16; 8:14) with Psalm 118:22 in 1 Peter 2:6–8. The chief corner stone is the stone of stumbling and rock of offence for those who refuse to believe. However, He is the solid rock of salvation to those who choose to believe. The purpose of the "stone, a tried stone, a precious corner–stone" is a foundation that gives stability and security to the believer. How can the chief corner stone become the stumbling stone and rock of offense? They stumble because they are disobedient to the word.
