From the Christian Post:
Actor Jim Caviezel recently claimed that Jesus Christ supernaturally appeared to him more than 20 years ago as he was considering whether to take the starring role in “The Passion of the Christ,” Mel Gibson’s 2004 film depicting the Crucifixion.
Caviezel, who is Roman Catholic, said that as he was considering it, Jesus appeared in his room and the two discussed the opportunity. “About 5 something in the morning, this presence came over me, and I know it was Him,” Caviezel said. “I was awake, but my eyes were closed, and He was sitting Indian-style on the foot of my bed, and He said, ‘It is not a requirement of you as a Catholic… to play this role.’ And I said, ‘Good, I won’t. Get somebody else.'”
