My adult daughters and I have talked about how difficult it will be to see the portrayal of such suffering...

This is the second article I've seen written by a pastor, and even with all of the time they have spent talking, living, and breathing the story of Jesus, they have had a difficult time dealing with the feelings the movie has evoked.

I've taken from other threads that many people believe this movie will have conversion value, but it is impossible to know what effect this film will have on people without formal religious training, or even anything other than a distant Sunday school set of ideas about Christianity. It may not have the effect that many here on FR think that it will.

Perhaps not, but never underestimate the power of the Holy Spirit.

But, then again, it may. That would be good news - eh?
