The JESUS film was filmed in 1979 and became the most viewed and translated film in all history. Based on the Gospel of Luke, the film told the story of Jesus telling the Biblical story verbatim.
I can still remember showing the film in barrios of Panama in 1985. We showed the film on bed sheets in public squares. People loved seeing Jesus on the “big screen.” Many came to know Jesus as their Savior and many more affirmed the film that told his story so well.
Yet films need to be updated. The JESUS film has certainly shown its age over the years. Cinematography alone has improved so much.
Enter the Lumo Project. With the partnership of dozens of Christian agencies, all four gospels are now filmed in gripping and realistic cinematic settings. Quality all the way.
Check out the famous passage from Luke 15 where Jesus tells the story of The Prodigal Son. In my opinion, the best short story ever told!
I commend the Lumo project to my church and friends.
