Inspired by scripture

-

(NO RATING YET) THE YOUNG MESSIAH. Directed by: Cyrus Nowrasteh. Starring: Adam Greaves-Neal, Sara Lazzaro, Vincent Walsh, Sean Bean. Showing at: Walmer Park, Baywest. INSPIRED by scripture and rooted in history, this story imagines a year in the boyhood of Jesus Christ.

Remaining true to the character of Jesus revealed in the Bible, The Young Messiah tells the inspiratio­nal story of Jesus’s childhood for the whole family.

When the mystery of Jesus’s divinity begins to unfold in his early years, the child turns to his parents for answers. But Mary and Joseph are afraid to reveal all they know. The movie seeks to present a realistic portrait of Jesus as rooted in faith. Scripture is the inspiratio­n for the emotions and actions of the boy Jesus as they are envisioned in this story.

Follow the young messiah as he and his family take the extraordin­ary journey from Egypt to Nazareth and on to Jerusalem – where his true identity and profound destiny are revealed.
