Jesus Christ Weather Tempter Sent Or Tempest Tossed


            What does one think of when they hear the name Jesus Christ? An atheist might claim him to be a fairytale invented to keep people in line, a Muslim or Jewish person might acknowledge his historical existence yet deny him as the messiah, and a devout Christian might think him to be the messiah the man who saved our souls and the epitome of human perfection. After watching the movie "The Last Temptation of Christ," Christ may be seen in a very different light. This light is a point of view that can bring controversy and inspire much thought and speculation.
             The story is one that starts off with Jesus who is making crosses for the Romans and he is despised for it, he is using his skill as a carpenter to make crosses for those who crucify his own people. We soon learn that he is plagued with voices as if he is being followed he feels as if he is being watched. He soon finds himself in a town where he comes upon Mary Magdalene a prostitute who Jesus has shared a past with. He resists temptation here, but soon he tells a monk of his imperfections. He claims himself to be a liar and a hypocrite whose only guiding force is fear. He sees a sign through a snake that appeared to him one night. He is told what it means is to spread what he knows. Jesus becomes torn not knowing how he should handle himself and what path he takes. Enter Judas who was originally sent to kill Jesus but instead becomes intrigued with his mission and follows him. .
             They make their way back to the town of Mary Magdalene where she is about to be stoned for being a prostitute Jesus stops the stoning and begins to preach his new word of love as he begins to gain followers. His followers continue to increase the more he travels and eventually he seeks the council of John the Baptist when he finds the Baptist he is told that God's plan is the axe not love as he has been preaching Jesus refuses to believe this. He is then baptized then told to search for answers alone in the desert.
