Killed it as always. Such attention to detail and so moving. Thanks for bringing this story to life.

[@jordansvault7482]

❤ These are familiar stories even if you’ve never heard of these people before. You know their struggle and their pain, because it’s so common. My prayer is you’d know their hope as well.

Powerful! The images of this short film have really stuck with me since I first watched it and caused me to reflect more deeply on the biblical story.

Brilliant more please

The Vantage storytellers have been telling stories for years before making films. They bring stories of grace, redemption, and the deepest needs of mankind told in ways I understand anew. Thank you to all of those who played a role in this. I will be sharing it with friends and family.

Wonderfully done! Congrats to the Vantage cast and crew!

[@VantageStories]

Yay! Thank you!

[@EmilyGurbacki]

Capturing and great modern day story telling. Well done.

[@VantageStories]

Many thanks!

🎉amazing work

[@HillCityBoise]

We've used these videos for church services and small groups and they are always received really well! Such a compelling way to capture these stories in a totally fresh new way!

[@ak49meyers]

Vantage has done it again...taking an all too familiar story and bringing it to life in our modern world. Incredible! The acting, cinematography, and editing are amazing with such attention to detail. Great job, and we look forward to seeing the next modern day parable from you all.

[@VantageStories]

Wow, thank you!

[@hockeyplaya8605]

Wonderful portrayal of a familiar story told in an unfamiliar, perhaps more relatable, way. Only Calvary could grapple with and fully reconcile the paradox of both mankind's wrongdoing and injustices. Only one man could empathize with sins committed against us and toward us in one, final sacrifice. When we take something that doesn't belong to us, or have something taken from us, He pays the ultimate price, once and for all. Thank you for sharing this work! (Heb. 4:15-16)

What a great way to portray this story and the message of grace! Your talent to produce life changing stories in this form is unmatched!

[@VantageStories]

Thank you so much!

[@22flutterby]

Very gripping story telling. Well done!!

[@andrewbranham5255]

This is a story of grace that everyone needs to hear!

[@jakehixon]

Beautiful story of grace.

[@VantageStories]

We agree!

[@matthewsalyer7423]

Holy smokes wow! I think this short film captures the energy and emotion of what was happening! I hadn’t seen it told that way before. And to have the current time cross over made it feel really relative!

[@shanekessi9208]

What a cool way to show the story of a character who compared to the wide story of those mentioned in scripture doesn’t get alot of time in the spotlight. But when he did he shined. And this film echos that!

[@mikegleason7475]

Fantastic adaptation of this Bible character. Great job!

[@VantageStories]

Thank you so much!

[@allisonbrink475]

This is SUCH a beautiful version of a tale I've heard so many times before, but never really understood until now. Holding back tears in all the best ways!!! Thank you Vantage!

[@VantageStories]

Glad you like it!

[@michaelmartin8974]

Very powerful! Well done!

[@VantageStories]

Glad you liked it!

[@JasmineDancer13]

You guys make so much progress with each video. This cinematography was great. As well as the soundtrack. I am honored to have been able to work with you all!

[@VantageStories]

You're the best!

[@jakewrightmusic]

Such a powerful film. I love the scene where Jesus looks over at him while on the cross. Powerful stuff!

[@andrewbranham8430]

"Someone needed to pay for what happened to my wife and son." Such a powerful line when understood through the perspective or redemption rather than revenge.

[@deryltitus1157]

This helps us wrestle with our own sense of justice from both angles. We easily justify our sense of right and wrong. We all need to be redeemed and remade. Jesus remakes us into his image - Christ-like.

[@AndrewTitus-b2h]

Fantastic job putting something in a modern perspective we can see. We know Jesus can forgive anything, but it’s amazing being reminded that He really does.
