THE TIMES LIST: 5 films to watch this Holy Week



by: Rochelle Acse



A week-long vacation offers us the fun time to travel and get away with everything. While, many others prefer to stay at home and avoid the long heavy traffic while bearing the summer’s extreme heat.

You, catching up some sleep and energy, you might just want to add watching movies in between to include some entertainment on your staycation.

Get a grip of your T.V. remote control, as we present The Times’ List of films that might take your staycation in a relaxing yet meaningful level.

1.      Heaven is for Real

\
The story is based on a best-selling 2010 book of the same title, and was written out of the real life experience of the author and main character, Todd Burpo, a pastor who had his four-year old son survived a very critical illness. Upon his son’s recovery, the child begins insist that he has been to heaven.

Heaven is not a physical place as what most think it is, but a personal state of heart, mind, and awareness.

2.      The Five People You Meet in Heaven



The film is based a novel by Mitch Albom. It follows the life and death of an amusement park maintenance, Eddie. After he died and sent to heaven, he encounters five people who had significant impacts throughout his life.

Was there at least one who was grateful to meet me this day? Or, was there anyone I had forgotten to be grateful with?

3.     God is not Dead



The film is about a Christian college student who is challenged by his philosophy professor who declares his God is just a non-existent.

Understanding the wisdom of a Supreme Being’s existence is the detachment of the knowledge the world offers.

4.      War Room



The movie features the Jordans who seem to have it all, great jobs, a daughter and a dream house, they don’t know they are about to take their lives in an unexpected turn for the better when Elizabeth Jordan meets her new client, who unexpectedly bridges the couple’s happiness through prayer.
Prayers never exist to alter what we see as sufferings into a blessing, rather, prayers exist to alter our perspectives to see sufferings not as sufferings but also a blessing.

5.       Passion of the Christ

It depicts the passion of Jesus Christ according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It mainly covers Jesus’ final hours, from his agony in the Garden of Gethsemane up to the brutal scourge and crucifixion.

Even the greatest One, suffered a lot. To serve is to be great.
