The Gospel of John

review by Dr. Ben Witherington III | posted 9/01/2003 12:00AM

***** STARS!! An amazing piece of work bringing Jesus and the word close in a real earthly way I can relate to. It helps me to get close to Him and lift me outside my small human understanding and reasoning. It portrays so well Jesus' attempt, being fully Human and fully God attempting to relate to human reasoning and understanding The movie touches deeply and is a great way to understand my saviors undying love for us to bring us to God, the Father through Him. The portrayal of Jesus by Henry Ian Cusick is very awesome, spirited and truthful in all the facets of Jesus' character. He is lighthearted warm human, radical uncompromising Jesus and Jesus, the deity I have owned this movie for 3 years and consider it a gem of a biblical visual. You can close your eyes and just listen to Him talk to the disciples in the vineyard and I am right there with Him!!!

I love this movie very much. Henry Ian Cusick is the best Jesus I have ever seen - made me really believe he was Jesus and not an actor playing Jesus. The movie moves along flawlessly and I can't imagine a better way the Gospel of John could have been portrayed on screen. I own a copy of this movie and have watched it maybe 100 times or more and it is amazing to me how perfectly everything in this movie was done. The beautiful thing about the Gospel of John is that it shows a lot of stories where Jesus personally interacted and ministered to individuals. I also love the messages Jesus preached - they are so rich - it's the word of God! This movie brings the bible alive in a fresh new way. I highly recommend it.
