The Gospel of John also contains many poignant scenes. How do you nicely say, “You have no love for God in your hearts”? I’m not saying the movie 100% accurately portrays what happened, but watching a variety of representations of Jesus Christ can expand our ideas and insights into his life. Some people will say, “Wow, Jesus seems arrogant, angry and rude.” I am not suggesting Jesus was arrogant or angry or rude at the same time, when you look at the words that he says, it’s hard to imagine them being said in a kind way. For example, try watching the three minutes of the movie that matches John 5:36-47 (this link will start you at the right place). John records the Savior’s serious conflicts with the chief priests leading up to the Crucifixion watching them helps us understand why some people perceived Jesus to be a societal threat.įull disclosure: I’ve watched this movie in many settings, and some people don’t like how Christ is portrayed in this movie. This film is extremely engaging, portraying several events from the Savior’s life that are sometimes not depicted in movies (e.g., John 2, 5, 8). The movie has strong actors and actresses, and the narrator is very good! Except for an introductory preface, all text in this movie comes from the Gospel of John every verse is present (using the Good News Bible translation), and no extra scenes are added. If could recommend just one movie about Jesus Christ, it would be, without question, The Gospel of John. Note: This is part of an ongoing series of posts focused on movies about Jesus.
