The season of Lent (the period of 40 days before Easter) is a time Christians utilize to grow closer to God and to reflect upon God's grace given to us through the life and death of Christ. Many choose to spend time in prayer, fasting, and scripture alongside of serving our neighbors in the ways that God calls us to. Lent is a somber time to reflect on Christ's death and journey for us, before celebrating the power of the resurrection. 

This Lenten season, I encourage you to head to the theatre to see The Last Supper. This powerful movie will help your faith grow this spring as you watch the journey of Christ as seen through the eyes of Jesus' disciples. 

Starring James Faulkner as Caiphas, Robert Knepper as Judas, James Oliver Wheatley as Peter, and Jamie Ward as Jesus Christ, each actor brings their character to life including full emotions that we may not see in our biblical scriptures. Scriptures, as God's word, often leaves out the emotional levels of each disciple, of the religious leaders, and even those supported Christ.

The film opens with Jesus' ministry taking place on the side of the mountain through the feeding of the 5000. Each scene and story line walks us through how Jesus went from a beloved rabbi to a persecuted man. 

We see how disciples and followers react, how the religious leaders on look from the sides (stirring up trouble), and how each disciple (especially Peter) has turmoil as Jesus continues to teach them what they yet do not understand.

Executive Producer Chris Tomlin brings God's word to life through the powerful story line, scenes, images, and overall nature of the film, directed by Mauro Borrelli. 

I love how this movie accurately portrays scripture, while giving us depth and insight into the characters. Scripture is a written story that leaves out facial expressions, behind the scenes whispering, and emotion. This movie shows it all, but does it in a way that represents Christ's ministry and arrest well. 

Rate PG-13, be aware of the dark themes that follow Christ's journey. The representation of temptation and Satan and violence (especially towards the end when Christ was arrested) are prominent, making this movie darker than some may like. 

Yet, this is the true story of Christ. In teaching about Lent at my church, I often remind our families that we can't get to the resurrection before we go through the hard and difficult stuff. The hard and difficult stuff includes betrayal, denial, violence, anger, lying, and yes, even death.

 It's something that we want to shield our kids from, but informing them of the whole story of Christ helps them to understand the big picture, and what Christ really went through for us. 

The Last Supper does not end with death and violence, though. It ends with the hope that Christ is alive, encouraging and equipping us to share God's love with others. 

"Through him, all things are made new. Let there be light where there is darkness."
