Cody Linley, Jesus

When I was asked to play Jesus, I was honestly really excited, overwhelmed, honored, playing Jesus is the ultimate role and being part of this project is the ultimate message and it’s something I believe in so much… I was about 6 or 7 that I feel as though I really found Jesus Christ and was saved, and that’s why I feel so thrilled to be a part of this project. I know being saved at such a young age for me was a great thing because it helped developed my morals I have today- the Bible has so much to do with that.

Recording the New Testament is such a cool opportunity, every day I’m reading all the words that Jesus ever said. We sit down and analyze everything he said. I’m thinking about it and praying to represent it in the right light. Scripture can be confusing and hard sometimes, but when I read what he said 15 times, I really understand it and that’s really cool. There’s so much more meaning behind these lines than I ever will in any script. It’s a cool idea to get the Word out there.

The promise means that there’s hope, for everlasting life, for redemption, for divinity in people’s lives. There can be nothing more edifying than interpreting from a sacred text.

Corbin Bleu, Peter

I’ve been raised a Christian, grew up in the church, so I had to be 3 or 4 when I was first starting to read the bible and participate in the jubilation of celebrating!

Luke Benward, Mark

When you say Word of Promise what strikes me is the Bible- it’s God saying “if you do this, this will happen..” He’s promising us all these things.

Charlie Stewart, Luke

I like John 3:16, that’s my favorite…”For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son…”

When you’re in there, you’re not really ready for how it’s going to be. Reading it is so cool, to be actually reading.. you read the stories, but being a character is amazing. You feel what you are reading.

Alyson Stoner, Martha

A couple years ago, a friend took me to a Christian camp where I took it upon myself to really accept Christ into my heart and since then I have a whole different perspective on acting and why I’m in the business. That promise means I can rid myself of all fears and worries and stress because I know that if I trust in God, everything will happen like it’s supposed to happen.

Marhall Alman, Paul

The Word of Promise, to me that means, God has given us a promise, a promise for a hope for salvation and that is through Jesus Christ.

AnnaSophia Robb, Mary Magdalene

When I was asked to play Mary Magdalene I was very excited because it’s not everyday you get to play a character in the Bible. I’ve really enjoyed it. I think a lot of people think of reading the Bible as a chore, for me it’s not a chore it’s a book of answers. It makes it easier for certain people to be able to listen.
