My wife and I made a special spiritual pilgrimage on our first year anniversary to view Gospel of John. The nearest place it was showing was 8 hours away in Hickory, North Carolina. We arrived Saturday morning, found the theater and waited patiently for the 2 PM showing. We were not disappointed.
For three hours we were riveted to our seats. We did not buy popcorn, drinks or snacks because we felt the movie deserved our undivided attention. When the movie was over, we wept at how wonderful the portrayal of Jesus was and how wonderful the entire movie was. We wished we could just stay and pray because this movie does draw one closer to the Lord and the perfect time to acknowledge that is immediately after the movie. But, after the credits rolled, rock music came on the speakers and we ventured out into the "real" world.
The experience is worthwhile..
