We live in a diverse population with different styles, beliefs, and cultures, and this film has taught me that we are children of God, and we should love each other the way Jesus loves us. It is natural for humans to judge others on the way they look, or what they believe, and The Passion of the Christ taught me to love and accept everyone for their differences. Not only have I become more forgiving of others, but I have learned to love the people who surround me. Forgiveness is the act of overcoming the feeling of resentment towards someone who has treated you in a wrong way, and this scene reminds me that although others will hurt me, loathing them will only bring darkness upon myself. I learned that hating others only brings poison to my own heart it doesn’t hurt the people that have betrayed me in any way. They know not what they do.” This line really taught me to be a more forgiving person because if Jesus was able to forgive murderers, adulterers, and the people who nailed him to a cross, then what makes me think I cannot forgive people as well. One of the most influential scenes in the movie is when Jesus is nailed on the cross to die and instead of cursing the people who wounded him, he tells his father, “Forgive them, father. Holding a grudge against someone who has wronged you takes a toll on your life not his or hers. This scene taught me how important it is to never fight fire, with fire.
” In this scene Jesus teaches his disciples that the urge of revenge is sinful he tells them to pray for the people who mistreat them.
