The Gospel of John is a movie that tells the story of Jesus' teachings. It is accurate and in sync with the Bible and is very powerful. It begins with the narrator, Christopher Plummer, speaking about John and the Messiah. It shows John baptizing many people but clearly states that John was not the Son. It also
shows the different works and miracles of Jesus. The Pharisees come to John and ask him if he is the Messiah or Elijah and when he answers to them that he is not, they ask why he baptizes people and his response is that the man coming is so pure and great that he wouldn't even be fit to untie his sandal. Jesus is first presented as coming to John to be baptized and John automatically said that "He is the lamb of God." It then shows Jesus finding his disciples , such as Andrew, Peter, and Philip. The first miracle that the movie depicts, is when Jesus turned the water to wine. Then it proceeds to show how angry Jesus became when he saw how the temple was being treated as a market place, refers to his death, then speaks to the Pharisees Nicodemus. It continues to speak of his other miracles, such as raising Lazarus from death all the way to his death and his resurrection. It is straight forward and clearly represents the gospel of John. This is only one book of the four gospels, so it only shows one perspective of the different gospels. This movie helps those who do not know much about the bible to better understand what Jesus was all about. It depicts in details all of the miracles that Jesus did and tells of His gospel, giving everyone a better understanding of the Christian faith.
