Guest Appearance at the Worship Service

I went with some friends to the worship service of GMA last night. This is one of my favorite parts of GMA week. Hillsong Live led us in an amazing time of worship. Michael W. Smith was the host. At one point he came out and introduced...Jim Caviezel.

Jim told about his filming the Passion of the Christ. He said that his shoulder was separated by the cross when he was carrying it in the film (that part is in the actual movie). He also had hypothermia while he was hanging on the cross. In fact, he almost died according to the doctor on the set. He thought it could go either way, so he prayed that the Lord would either use his life or his death. At his lowest point, he had to say a line and he couldn't speak very well. Someone came up a ladder and gave him some headphones. The guy played "Above All" by Michael W. Smith. After hearing the song a few times, it gave Jim the strength to continue on. Last night, with Jim Caviezel standing right next to him on stage, Micheal W. Smith led us in that very song. It was moving!

The best thing Jim said was that he wouldn't trade all of the Oscars and awards here on this earth for being one name in the Lord's Hall of Fame in heaven. Coming from him, it was very sincere and impacting.
