As
Jesus' ministry moves towards its ultimate purpose and
climax, the
conflict with the religious establishment deepens in
this word-for-word film of the book of Matthew.
Concerned about His huge following and furious about His
radical concept of a heart-motivated faith over outward
observance of the laws, they criticize and denounce Him
continually.
Against
the ceremony and pageantry of First Century Jerusalem,
Jesus' final hours unfold with painful reality as actor
Bruce Marchiano draws us into every vivid emotion.
We join Him at the last Supper and in the Garden of
Gethsemane. Share the pain of Judas betrayal and
Peter's unforgettable denial. Stand at His side as He
faces the might of Rome and the rejection of His own
people.
Richard
Kiley, playing the role of Matthew, leads us through the
events at Golgotha... as the anguish of the cross is
transformed by the glory of the resurrection. This
vivid portrayal of the Gospel of Matthew ends with
Jesus' last command and the promise... "surely I am
with you always to the very end of the age." (Running Time: 67 minutes)
