While Jesus isn’t exactly what they imagined, there is something special about this man. Soon, John, James, Andrew, Peter, and others begin to follow Jesus on an unexpected adventure. This beautifully 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 releases in theaters, September 5, 2025.

In August 2024, the production team flew over to Budapest, Hungary to record a new musical score for The Great Passion Play. The National Philharmonic Orchestra of London recorded the previous score. It has been used since 1984. This score represents a culmination of vast improvements to the Passion Play made since 2012.

Overall, since 2020, over a half million dollars of improvements have been made to the way the Passion Play technologically tells Christ's story.

​Great Bible (1539): “For God so loued the worlde, that he gaue his only begotten sonne, that whosoeuer  beleueth in him, shulde not perisshe, but haue euerlasting lyfe.”
Tyndale (1534): “For God so loveth the worlde, that he hath geven his only sonne, that none that beleve in him, shuld perisshe: but shuld have everlastinge lyfe.”
Wycliff (1380): “for god loued so the world; that he gaf his oon bigetun sone, that eche man that bileueth in him perisch not: but haue euerlastynge liif.”
Anglo-Saxon Proto-English Manuscripts (955 AD): “God lufode middan eard swa,dat he seade his an-cennedan sunu, dat nan ne  forweorde de on hine gely achabbe dat ece lif.”
 
Consider the following textual comparison of the earliest English translations of John 3:16, as shown in the English Hexapla Parallel New Testament:
1st Ed. King James (1611): “For God so loued the world, that he gaue his only begotten Sonne: that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life.”
Rheims (1582): “For so God loued the vvorld, that he gaue his only-begotten sonne: that euery one that beleeueth in him, perish not, but may haue life euerlasting.”
Geneva (1560): “For God so loueth the world, that he hath geuen his only begotten Sonne: that
none that beleue in him should peryshe, but haue euerlasting lyfe.”
