Brock Hughes. Easter

This past Saturday was Easter. While at Church, scenes from the movie The Passion and another movie about the crucifixion of Christ were shown. During these powerful scenes I was able to really relate to Jesus on a personal level. It is really hard when one just reads the Bible or hears about Jesus to really see Him as a person who actually suffered tremendous pain while on the cross. Another really powerful thing that occurred to me was the love that others had for Him. Both His mother and Mary were torn apart and many of His disciples were the same way (not just because they betrayed Him). It is just really interesting to think about Jesus as a person. I feel as though most of the times people only think of Him as almost a mythological thing that might exist and might not. But something that really just stands for something and we can learn from the idea of what He lived for; not truly what He lived for.
I also feel like the Spirit of God is a tricky thing, I guess it would be the Holy Spirit. If one seems to be too good for it or not open to it then it is very easy to miss the presence all together. However, I feel as though if one really opens their heart to allow it to move through them, then one will experience that feeling or presence. I think most of the times what really turns people off from Christianity is that they cannot simply see God or His angels. It was really funny at Church on Sunday. The pastor made a remark about possibly why God doesn’t reveal angels and spirits to use more often. He said something to the effect of, “the 100 guards at Jesus’ tomb, who were all cut up and strong like those guys from that movie 300, saw one angel and were paralyzed in fear. How do you think you would handle it?” This was just a really cool quote to me cause it shows the power of god and His angels, and really makes me not want to be on His bad side
