Red - Pieces - Music Video

Clips from Passion of the Christ edited to the song Pieces by Red. This video was shown at the worship service Project 217, as well as a couple Sunday School classes.People tend to see Christians as a group of people who generally do good, and are nice and kind to others. But Christianity is by no means an easy, or even at times, a comfortable or fun faith to have. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ was a shameful, humiliating one, but through his sacrifice, our sins were sacrificed as well. Even in a situation where Christ could've easily rejected God and could've shown hate and spite towards the people who were killing him, he humbly forgave them for their actions and saved them from their mistakes. He does the same for you and me, who are just as guilty of sin as the people who murdered him. See, contrary to what many people believe, Christianity is not about being 'better' than someone else because of the good things you do. Jesus never taught that. It's actually the exact opposite. Christians, by definition, recognize that all of us have equally sinful and evil tendencies, and it's by God's infinite love that he gave us Jesus, so that our slates could be wiped clean. It's this, along with the resurrection of Christ three days later, that lays the foundation of the Christian faith. If it weren't for Easter, Christianity would not exist. Easter didn't become a holiday because of some bizarre fake bunny, and it isn't defined by accidentally stepping on eggs when you're trying to find them, or giving yourself diabetes by loading yourself with candies. Easter is a brutal, revered day in which one man, who gave his one life for billions of others, including YOURS and MINE, rose from the dead and defeated death for you. This year, remember what Easter is really about.
