strong and barely controllable emotion.
Then I looked farther down and saw a definition for the term 'the passion':
the suffering and death of Jesus.
On Easter a bunch of the Kaleo crew congregated in the lodge to watch The Passion of the Christ. I don't think I was prepared for it, in fact I know I wasn't. There were so many times when I instinctually closed my eyes, or turned my head, or gasped at what I was seeing. I remember thinking, 'What Passion.' The devil couldn't control Jesus' passion, the beating and scourging couldn't control it, the crucifixion couldn't control it, and even death itself couldn't control it. Driven by love Jesus gave himself up to death on a Cross. This is how he shows his love. Love for his father, and love for the adopted sons and daughters his blood would purchase. The bible talks about the love of Christ controlling us. That's possible because his own love controlled him first and made love possible for us.
I want my passion for Jesus to only be controlled by love.
