A glimpse of Pilate’s water bowl launches a memory of the Lord washing his disciples’ feet in the upper room. Peter denies him, and we jump to the moment when the bombastic apostle vows his allegiance unto death. For example, as an arrested Jesus watches a carpenter plying his trade, he recalls carefree days of crafting furniture in Nazareth (this includes a sweet, playful scene with Mary). Reverent highlights from his life provide added context to his fulfillment of the Isaiah 53 prophecy at Calvary. The love and single-minded passion of Jesus Christ shines through.

By its very nature, the “good news” of the gospel is the most positive message any filmmaker could ever articulate.
