Did Prince Pay the Price, or Some Pauper?

Surfing YouTube for some significant historical events that might help us interpret the times we are in, I found this recent posting of an interview with Jim Caviezel; the actor who played the role of Jesus in The Passion of The Christ. In it, he tells us of what lead up to his taking the role, how he dealt with his own inner conflicts over it, how he physically, (though willingly),suffered near death during the filming, and was even struck by lightning while on the cross!

Muhammad taught that it wasn't Jesus who was crucified, but Judas, made to look like Jesus. While Caviezel didn't bring that up, I'm putting that perspective in, here, for us to contrast what he went through in making this movie, and what that lead him to offer us all, from his unique experiences. So, was it Jesus, or Judas, that Jim portrayed so well? Paid in Full, or folly played?

And yes, I know I'm stealing a little attention from the artist, formerly known as, Prince: but I have to believe that even he would agree that the Prince of life, as Peter named him, is of much greater worth than he.

Amidst the storm of fallen man's madness, there is a strong refuge from the threatening tide. Abide in Him.

"At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11:25-30

"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

Therefore let no man glory in men." 1 Corinthians 3:19-21
