Could The Passion of the Christ stir up flames of ethnic hatred? Some of our Jewish neighbors fear that Mel Gibson's film about the last hours of Christ will set the calendar back. Many remember the long history of anti-Semitism that surfaced in the writings of Church fathers, the Crusades, and the Holocaust. Now as large numbers of people see Christ suffer in a powerful and graphic reenactment, a question surfaces. Will those angered by Christ's horrific abuse feel contempt for those whose ancestors asked for Jesus' death? Not if they listen carefully and take note of everyone who had a hand in His suffering. The answer to who killed Christ is found not only in The Passion but also in the Gospel records. Even though a crowd of Jesus' countrymen cried out, "His blood be on us and on our children" (Matthew 27:25), Gibson's treatment shows that no group deserves to be singled out as Christ-killers. The whole picture includes a fallen angel, Jewish leaders, Gentiles, and even Jesus. Christ's Passion rbc.net James
