Sermon Illustrations

In the movie the Passion of Christ, one scene shows Jesus carrying the cross on the way to Golgotha (Calvary) and he stumbles. His mother, Mary, comes before him, and holds him. And there is a flashback to his childhood when Mary picked him up after he had fallen, and he says to his mother, "I make all things new."

This event is not recorded in the Bible, but the words he said are true, Jesus brings hope in even the bleakest situation because he makes all things new.
