God made it happen.
Chris Tomlin, a Grammy Award-winning worship artist known for songs like “How Great is Our God,” is expanding his ministry to film with his involvement in The Last Supper. The movie, which he co-produced, focuses on the events leading up to Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, particularly through the perspectives of Peter and Judas. Tomlin, whose music and ministry have long been centered on helping people experience the grace and mercy of God, sees the film as a powerful tool to bring the story of Jesus to life in a new way.
Initially approached to contribute music to the project, Tomlin was deeply moved by the film’s early screening and decided to take on a more significant role as an executive producer. His song, “No Greater Love,” based on John 15:13, became a key part of the movie. Tomlin found the alignment between the song’s message and the film’s theme to be a “God-wink moment,” as both highlight the ultimate act of love—Jesus laying down His life for humanity.
What makes The Last Supper unique, according to Tomlin, is its focus on the pivotal moment when Jesus gathered with His disciples for one final meal before His crucifixion. The film explores the struggles and perspectives of both Peter and Judas, offering insight into how they viewed Jesus and dealt with their own internal conflicts. Tomlin believes this fresh take on a familiar story will resonate with audiences in a powerful way.
For Tomlin, the film is an extension of his worship ministry. He views worship as more than just singing—it’s about seeing and experiencing God’s love. By helping to produce The Last Supper, Tomlin hopes the film will inspire viewers to deepen their faith and unlock their hearts for God. He encourages people to watch the film in theaters to experience the full impact of the story.
In addition to its artistic and spiritual significance, The Last Supper boasts a talented cast, including Jaime Ward as Jesus and Robert Knepper as Judas. Tomlin feels honored to be part of a project that tells the story of Jesus’ final days in such a beautiful and moving way, and he is confident that it will have a lasting impact on viewers.
