Hollywood star, Jim Caviezel, who played Jesus in ‘The Passion of the Christ’ movie, has said he feels called by God to make Christian films to share the gospel.
The star plays the disciple Luke in his latest film, Paul, Apostle of Christ, which will be released later this month in the US.
“I’ll be point blank with you, my industry has been around for a century, the word of God has been around for 5,000 years if you want to go back to Moses and Abraham,’ he told The Christian Post when asked why he continues to plays religious roles in films.
Caviezel is critical of the ‘ego’ focused nature of Hollywood and also of Christians’ own reluctance to share their faith, warning that without evangelism church becomes like an ‘elite country club’.
