We are entering closer to Easter and I would love to recommend the movie: Last Temptation of Christ by Martin Scorcese.
I don't think majority of people believe Jesus' last temptation was "having a married life, having sex with a wife and having kids" but it works as a great movie.
The entire movie is colored in the violence of the rebels, and nonviolence of Jesus. It is actually the most accurate film on the history of the third decade of the First Century.
A lot of people do not like it because it doesn't follow the Gospels per say. And I used to think the movie was always missing Gospel mysticism. But the movie focuses on the human Jesus and what he probably went through.
Scorsese must have taken a lot of notes from teachers of the Seminary schools along with Nikos Kazantzakis novel.
If the movie is too much for you I suggest the novel by Nikos Kazantzakis. It have it. It is wonderful!
It gives a great demonstration between a human being living up human nature and simultaneously a holy being or "God" and trying to reconcile his two conflicting natures. It is a story about all our journey
