Review: Lumo Project- The Gospel of John #JohnonNetflix


In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.-
John 1:1

The Lumo Project is a new movie series about the four Gospels in the Bible- Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I had the opportunity over Thanksgiving break to watch The Gospel of John via private weblink courtesy of FlyPropeller. Y'all, I couldn't put this movie down. I was able to pick from three different versions: NIV Version, King James Version, or Spanish. I chose the NIV. I truly felt like I was in the movie with John as he walked and talked about the life my Lord and Savior. I have never been one for narration films, but truly I didn't even know it was being narrated. 

The Gospel of John was released on Netflix on Monday, December 1st. The rest of the series will be coming soon, and you won't want to miss it.



THE GOSPEL OF JOHN

"The Gospel of John takes the story of Jesus from John’s gospel with its own unique characteristics. For John, Jesus is the Word of God made human. John is clear that that when encounter Jesus, we encounter God. The gospel writer points to the miracles (the ‘Signs’) and teachings as evidence of Jesus’ special relationship as the divine Son of God.

This full-length feature film about the life of Jesus takes the actual Gospel text as its script, word for word, unedited. Five years in the making, this epic production has been critically acclaimed by leading religious scholars as a unique and highly authentic telling of the Jesus story. Narrated by leading British actor David Harewood (‘Homeland’, ‘Blood Diamond’, ‘Merchant of Venice’) it is based on the latest theological, historical and archaeological research. With specially constructed sets and the extraordinarily authentic villages and countryside of rural Morocco, it immerses the viewer in the world of first century Palestine."

The Gospel of John has always been one of my favorite books of the Bible. One of my favorite parts is when Jesus comes down and asks John to baptize him. No, our Lord didn't have to be baptized but he did it. He led by example. What an awesome story. What an awesome Savior we have. 

Be watching for the other for Gospels as they release. "FOUR GOSPELS. FOUR FILMS. ONE JESUS STORY. FOR EVERYONE.A ground breaking, multi-language biblical film resource transforming the way we discover, study and engage with the life of Jesus through the four New Testament Gospels.

The Lumo Project is a ground breaking, multi-language biblical film resource transforming the way we discover, study and engage with the life of Jesus through the four New Testament Gospels: redefining the standard of visual Biblical media. The Lumo Project presents four films – one for each Gospel account – that will revolutionise the way we all experience the story of Jesus and the world of First Century Palestine in which he lived."
