From the beginning of Jesus’ ministry through his crucifixion and resurrection, **LIGHT OF THE WORLD** powerfully illustrates how Jesus of Nazareth changed the world forever and still changes lives today!

Teaching children about Jesus can be tough in a digital age. Children are used to seeing the world and learning through electronic devices. While some kids have parents who read to them with books, most children get their entertainment through videos. So having a movie that teaches kids about Jesus is a good thing, and it is even better when the movie can be enjoyed by adults.
When I was given the chance to watch The Light Of The World, I thought that it was going to be a typical children's movie that was geared toward younger kids, but this movie kept me engaged. It even helped me see bible verses in a better way and understanding.
At the end of the movie, I loved these words as they spoke to me in a new way. I knew that they would help young children, and even adults, understand more about Jesus.
~ His death is not the end; it is the beginning.
~ He did not come to defeat our enemies. He showed us how to love them.
~ He did not come to condemn us but to fill us with His light and lead us back to God
I really enjoyed it when John took his Dad's hands and helped him say the Salvation prayer of giving his life to Christ.
~ It starts with a prayer: Jesus, you died upon a cross and rose again to save the lost. Forgive me now of all my sins. Come be my Lord and friend. Change my life and make it new. Help me, Lord, to live for You.
It truly is a family movie that the whole family will love
