Rated "R"  For The Passion...
Regarding the Reason for the "R" rating of the Passion of the Christ

The "R" of course is because of the violence, the gore. In movie terms "R" stands for RESTRICTED, but in this
movie "R" stands for:

RELEVANT,

for

REALISTIC,

for it

REALLY

happened for a

REASON

because we were

REBELLIOUS

and we needed a

REDEEMER,

we needed to be

RECONCILED,

we needed to be

RECOVERED,

we needed to be

REGENERATED.

Jesus needed to be

REJECTED

so that we could have a

RELATIONSHIP

not just a

RELIGION.

The

"R"

is to

REMIND

us to

REMEMBER

what Jesus did to

REMOVE

our sin to

RENDER

Satan powerless, to

RESCUE

us from eternity in hell.

The

"R"

rating is to show that Jesus was

RESPONSIBLE

for giving you

REST.

As a

RESULT

of his death Jesus

RETIRED

your debt.

The

"R"

rating means that some will be

REPULSED,

some will

REFUSE

to believe, some will be

RELUCTANT,

some will think you are

RIDICULOUS

in believing that a death was

REQUIRED.

The

"R"

rating means that the

RESULT

of sin has been

REVERSED

and now through faith in Christ your

REWARD

is eternity and you are now

RIGHTEOUS

before God because you have

RECEIVED

him as the

RULER

of your soul.

What a

REVOLUTIONARY

and

RADICAL

solution to

REDEEM

mankind.
