The Word Became Flesh
Passion of the Christ: 2009
Each year we depict different scenes from Christ's life, we sing different songs, and we emphasize different characters; however, the message is the same: Jesus Christ left Heaven and came to earth as a man, took the penalty that each one of us should bear, and died in our place. In His rising again, we are guaranteed an eternal existence with God in Heaven if we accept that Jesus died for our sins, thereby taking our punishment for those sins.
