First ....I am no longer Christian , so take this with a grain of salt.
It would seem Jesus, the Christ was a form of God himself, and was purposefully sent to earth by the creator itself. The life of Christ was meant to be a learning experience for Jesus, and for humankind. The sacrifice of the Christ was intended to show the people that this life is not all there is , and that a place can be had for all who will follow God in this life. Human sin was washed from all with the death of the Christ at the behest of said God.
The ressurection was proof that there is a heaven , and an invitation is in place for all who are willing to follow the rules. All that we need to know as far as "How" our sins were forgiven is that "God" can do anything, including clean the slate.
As far as "The Passion" is concerned....can't help you there, didn't see it. Maybe when it is on video, I have a hard enough time sitting in a theater with trekkies, if I wanted to sit for hours with Christians,,,I would go to church.
