Hollywood actor Jim Caviezel is gearing up for the release of his new film, "Paul, Apostle of Christ," and says he feels called to make Christian films and share the love of Jesus Christ throughout his industry.
"Paul, Apostle of Christ," hits theaters March 23rd and will bring to life the story of Saul of Tarsus, who was known for persecuting and murdering Christians but went on to become one of the most powerful and important figures of the Church after he encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus.
Caviezel said he wanted to do this film because it's the "most important genre" for this time.
Caviezel, who plays Luke in the film, commended Paul's example.
"Am I the right guy [for the parts]? No, I never thought I was the right guy to play Jesus [either] but a friend of mine told me this, he said – 'God doesn't always choose the best, but He chose you so what are you gonna do about it?'" the "Passion of Christ" actor shared.
In "Paul, Apostle of Christ" you will hear Paul boast only of his weaknesses, a quality not often seen in entertainers who are constantly praised for their work.

I’m betting it will be good.
Works for me.
LOL. That's humbling to think about. God doesn't always choose the best but if he chooses you, you have to do it anyway.
I heard another Passion type movie is in the works
God always chooses best; not by the fallen and corrupt standards of this world, but by His own perfect (and often inscrutable) standards. If God chooses you to do "X" ... rest assured that you ARE the best to do it, and trust in His grace to see you through.

Thanks. I needed to read that. Am struggling to believe it, but I'm hoping you're right.
I think sometimes God is more interested in a Faithful servant than a skillful servant. Be His Faithful servant in all things.
Thank you for posting that, Ciaphas Cain, and thank you also NorthMountain for the original post and for your response.
I’m looking forward to seeing it.
