​@kensmith8152 He showed the centurion the difference between the law, with its dictates and condemnation, and Christ's grace and the centurion knew he stood a condemned man before God But this is not the end of the story for the centurion, because later, Christ would open up the way back to God, not through the law with its dictates but through Christ, as the ultimate proxy The centurion got a glimpse of what was coming for all of humanity

[@jenniferharden2258]

I agree.

[@juerv1]

Why should Christianity deserve to be portrayed positively? The crimes committed by Christians (crusades, inquisition, sexual abuse...) cannot be counted.

[@stultuses]

I used to think that also, but never lose faith that God is more than capable of turning every evil heart around for His glory The man who wrote Amazing Grace was once a slave trader, and even though it was not instant, God turns that evil man's heart around to then write a song that would be sung in much of the world to give thanks to the God who saved him! Now that's power! It might seem impossible that anything could come out of such an evil cesepool organisation such as Hollywood with its outright hatred of Christianity, but God specialises in turning evil to good if not just to show his power. Pray for Hollywood, it needs it

[@IHateYoutubeHandles615]

The actor playing the roman saying "no water for him" was amazing as he acted with just his expression and we saw him go through anger, confusion, and finally shame.

Every time I see this scene I lose it. Our Heavenly Father gives water to a thirsty man in the face of the Romans and making the Centurion back off without a word is so powerful. Jesus literally put the fear of God into the Centurion's heart.

[@overcomerbtboj]

This makes me cry almost as much as reading the gospel account of Jesus healing the woman with the issue of blood - in my darkest days all i had strength to do was desperately hang onto the hem of His garment - in our desperation and weakness our Lord comes to bear us up when life is difficult- He is always with us ✝️

[@edwardcricchio6106]

Watch that account on "The Chosen". I guarantee tears.

[@danielksullivan]

It's a quite a remarkable piece of acting done by the man playing the centurion that his reaction to seeing the God in the face and actions of another man makes him question his entire life and wonder whether he has been a good person or not. We see someone's reflection on their life and judgement of themselves all in under the space of a minute.

In fact it must have also given him the strength to resist for 5 years on ships as an oarsman. The average life expectancy of a slave oarsman was 2 maximum 3 years. Furthermore, he is the only oarsman who is not tied to stocks when they fight, another sign of God's intervention, which saves him from shipwreck.

This is one of those few cinematic moments that I keep very close to my heart. This is a type of scene whose success or failure relies almost completely on self restraint . The fact that it is so perfectly handled makes it all the more admirable. The look on that Centurion's face....the honesty of that reaction is profoundly moving.

[@andrestipanovic7407]

Yes, I agree. When you stare into the face of God, you stare into the face of Truth. Truth reflects back who you really are. Only a depraved maniac could deny the True reflection of what one is. Jesus did not have to reply to Pontius Pilate, Jesus only had to reflect back to Pontius Pilate who Pilate really was.
