You have heard an insult, like the wind. You are angry,
like a wave. When the wind blows, and the wave swells, the ship is then
endangered, the heart is in jeopardy, and the heart is tossed back and
forth. When you were insulted, you longed for revenge. But if you
have been avenged and so rejoice in the person’s pain, you have suffered
shipwreck. Why is this? Because Christ is asleep in you. What
does it mean that Christ is asleep in you? That you have forgotten
Christ. Rouse Him then. Call Christ to mind and let Him wake up in
you. Pay attention to Him.
Photos from the JESUS film, 1979. This is the best film on the life of Christ I've ever come across. See a clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyzwCpofQSA
