This scene depicts to me what Jesus Christ is to me. When the Roman soldier is so cruel to Ben Hur and not going to give him water, he asks God in his pit of despair to help him and an unknown man gives him water. The soldier gets angry because he ordered no water for him (Ben Hur), and moves to stop him from quenching Ben's thirst. All Jesus does is stand up and look him in the eye! The soldier cannot say anything. That is what it is like to have the truth on your side. People can talk all they want, but when you speak the truth they will have no counter argument. Even if they do you know what is true as you perceive it so there is no need to get upset.
Check out the scene:

Its funny I remember the scene showing Jesus's face, but I think it is better that they don't. You see it is not important what he looks like just what it is to feel his (Jesus's presence).
