It’s the greatest story ever told…a story I’ve grown up hearing since I was a little girl…the story of Jesus, the Son of God. Earlier this year, I had a unique opportunity to speak with Diogo Morgado, who took on the challenge of portraying Jesus in the first film to tell this incredible story on-screen in 10 years. Son of God was born out of a need producers Mark Burnett and Roma Downey identified for our modern generation to see a visual portrayal of Jesus onscreen. You may remember their 2013 miniseries The Bible was widely seen, reaching more than 13 million viewers. From the footage and deleted scenes of this miniseries, they produced Son of God, which depicts the life of Jesus from birth to death and ultimately resurrection.
If you’re at all familiar with the life and teachings of Jesus, you’ll find the film to be a gentle and humble reminder of a man who took the form of a human with the specific purpose of ultimately dying an agonizing death on the cross to save humanity. While the cinematography was absolutely stunning, it was the stark reminder of Christ’s saving work on the cross that I cherish deep in my soul. I love what Morgado said during our roundtable conversation about the film’s affect on both the believer and the unbeliever. He said that if you are a believer, the film will increase the faith you have. If you’re a nonbeliever, his hope is that the film will give you back something. Regardless of your beliefs, this is a story of love…the greatest love a person had for us that he laid down his life on a cross.
This Tuesday, June 3rd, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will release Son of God on Blu-ray and DVD. I personally can’t wait to get the film and have it on-hand to show my children when they are a bit older. To celebrate the film’s release, Latina Bloggers Connect will be hosting a bilingual Twitter Party with special guest Diogo Morgadao. During the Twitter Party, we’ll celebrate the film’s inspiring message of hope, faith and miracles.
