I am clearly talking of His second coming, not the first! However, I recall a
scene in "Ben Hur" where Heston was a prisoner and was forbidden from drinking
water in a stop that the Roman soldiers made in their travel with their
prisoners. Of course, Christ was at that stop and proceeded to quench Heston's
thirst. In that scene, the roman captain was walking towards the camera to
reprimand the one who was giving water to Heston and as he was approaching you
could see his anger diminished and as he got close to Christ he said nothing.
That is the picture I have of Christ, His nature was clear if He wanted.
