\u201cThe Passion of the Christ,\u201d the highest-grossing Christian film of all time about the last twelve hours of Jesus\u2019 life, can now be streamed on Fox Nation, just in time for Easter.<\/p>\n

The biblical drama film, co-written and directed by Mel Gibson and starring Jim Caviezel as Jesus of Nazareth, depicts the Passion of Jesus largely according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John\u2019s gospels.<\/p>\n

The film begins with the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, continues with Judas Iscariot\u2019s betrayal, Mary’s suffering, which Simeon prophesied, and ultimately leads into the crucifixion and death of Jesus, with a brief depiction of His resurrection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Passion of the Christ\u201d does include flashbacks to moments in Jesus\u2019 life, including The Last Supper and The Sermon on the Mount, both biblically based.<\/p>\n

Mel Gibson funded the film entirely, but it paid off in the end as the $30 million he put into the film turned into $622 million. It is also the highest-grossing independent film of all time.
\nWhile the film has been controversial, many critics call the \u201cThe Passion of the Christ\u201d a religious classic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a movie so singular, so intense, so overwhelming that it simply has to be experienced,\u201d Phil Kloer of the Atlantic Journal-Constitution<\/em> says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost impossible not to be moved by Jim Caviezel\u2019s vulnerability as Christ, even if the idea that he is no \u2018mere\u2019 man is never in doubt,\u201d James Christopher of Times (UK)<\/em> says.<\/p>\n

\u201cA gripping, powerful motion picture \u2013 arguably the most forceful depiction of Jesus\u2019 death ever to be committed to film,\u201d James Berardinelli of ReelViews<\/em> says.<\/p>\n

The Fox Nation app primarily broadcast documentaries, movies, and shows that celebrate America and also faith. A new program is broadcast each week, with TV shows lead by leading personalities. \u201cThe Passion of the Christ\u201d can now be streamed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
