Light of the World is a must see for all the family. It is a wonderful animation that presents the Gospel of the Good News of Jesus in an easy to understand and accessible way.

The film starts in AD 30 and everyone is expectantly awaiting the coming Messiah. While Jesus isn’t exactly what they imagined, there is something special about this man. Soon, John, James, Andrew, Peter, and their new friends begin to follow Jesus on an unexpected adventure. This beautiful, 2D-animated story of Jesus is told through the eyes of his beloved young friend, the Apostle John. 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! 

Light of the World comes from The Salvation Poem Project and has been directed and animated comes by talented animators and directors that have worked on animated films including Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King and the series Superbook. This team has come together to give everyone the opportunity to know Jesus and to choose for themselves to follow him.

The animation is superb, the 2D feels somewhat fresh, nostalgic and inviting, it stands out from the crowd of 3D animated films. The story alongside the animation also invites us in to experience the life-changing story of Jesus. Yes there is some artistic licence in the story, but it flows well and introduces audiences to Jesus, who He is, why He came and why He died for the entire world. 

Light of the World is a very accessible film, suitable for the entire family and for those who are seeking, for those who don’t know Jesus. It is an emotional and powerful movie that presents the Gospel and gives an opportunity to respond to the Good News of Jesus. This is a must see movie that will change lives.
