The Day The Earth Stood Still - Just Another Christmas Story

An alien from another world comes to earth with a message of judgment and hope.  Mankind does not listen and instead seeks his destruction.  He has within his power the justifiable execution of judgment.  In an amazing act of sacrificial love, he gives his life to bring about the possibility of salvation for all of humanity.  Yet, he is not really dead, but returned from whence he came.  The remaining question is will humanity accept this amazing opportunity and truly change?

Hmmm...  Seems I've read this story before...

I saw that movie a couple years ago. Yes, the story does sound familiar indeed.

Why does the story make me think Easter?

The alien in the original version of the movie had much clearer links to Christ. I've heard that Keanu Reeves in the latest is far more retaliatory, but haven't had a chance to see it yet, so shall reserve judgement.
