Present Him as touchable, reachable, always with you and never forsaking you.</FONT></FONT></LI> <LI><FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF"><FONT SIZE=+0>Show the heart of Jesus... His love and compassion.</FONT></FONT></LI> <LI><FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF"><FONT SIZE=+0>Show that Jesus wasn't 20 feet tall, but God as a man in the flesh, who looked and dressed like a real and ordinary person. Someone you could walk with and talk with... a man who at times got upset ... once sweat great drops of blood. Still He was a man who knew how to laugh, throw His arms around you and embrace you ... and yes, He even knew how to cry.</FONT></FONT></LI> <LI><FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF"><FONT SIZE=+0>Bring out the fact that the disciples were real people like you and me, with real needs and genuine everyday problems. They weren't perfect or Saints ... just human, like us, with human frailties that only Jesus could help them overcome.</FONT></FONT></LI> <LI><FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF"><FONT SIZE=+0>By setting the story in present day, it's easier to understand why the vast multitudes could not bring themselves to follow, bow down to and accept someone as their Lord and Savior who looked like an ordinary man, maybe just "one of the guys" ... even tho it was God in the flesh. Would it be any different today? Would everyone who met Him on the streets, in the countryside, in the marketplace, in houses of worship ... recognize Him?</FONT></FONT></LI> <LI><FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF"><FONT SIZE=+0>Show that there's a little bit of Judas in all of us. Also, to ask the questions ... Did Judas betray Jesus solely for money? Could he also have betrayed Jesus because He wasn't what Judas wanted Him to be? Wasn't Judas a Zealot and what did the Zealots want to do with the Roman Empire? Who is the modern day Rome?</FONT></FONT></LI> <LI><FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF"><FONT SIZE=+0>Dispel the belief that the Jews, as a nation, or the Romans put Jesus on the cross. Rather; it was a vile spirit of Religiosity that ran rampant among the Sanhedrin, Pharisees and Sadducees. Is that spirit still alive today? Would that same spirit put Him on the cross today?</FONT></FONT></LI> <LI><FONT SIZE=+0><FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">Make it clear that nothing on this earth took Jesus's life ... rather, He gave His own life as a sacrifice for the sins of "all" mankind and only by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior would our sins be forgiven and would we find salvation.<BR> <BR> </FONT><FONT COLOR="#FFFF80">New... </FONT><FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF">We also need to find people like you to help provide videos, studyguides and soundtracks to over 9700 prisons that have requested it, and for youth groups such as: Teen Challange, Young Life, Youth For Christ, etc. <BR> Please contact me if you can help... <A HREF="contactpage.htm">James Barden</A></FONT></FONT><BR> </LI> </UL> <CENTER><P><IMG SRC="separator1.gif" VSPACE=12 HEIGHT=11 WIDTH=500> <BR> </P></CENTER> <CENTER><P><FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF"><FONT SIZE=+0><A HREF="jporderingpage.htm">Click Here <A HREF="jporderingpage.htm"><IMG SRC="jpfilm4.jpg" HSPACE=5 BORDER=0 HEIGHT=62 WIDTH=98 ALIGN=ABSCENTER></A></A>to Order<BR> <BR> <BR> <A HREF="jporderingpage.htm"><IMG SRC="separator3.gif" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=14 WIDTH=475></A><BR> <BR> <BR> </FONT></FONT><A HREF="donations.htm">You can help to send 'The Judas Project' to the lost in the world.</A></P></CENTER> <CENTER><P><BR> <FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1><A HREF="preview.htm">PREVIEW</A> | <A HREF="interviews.htm">Interviews</A> | <A HREF="music.htm">Soundtrack Samples</A> | <A HREF="contactpage.htm">Contact James Barden</A> | <A HREF="itinerary.htm">Itinerary</A> | <A HREF="itinerary.htm">Showing<BR> </A><A HREF="judas-project2.htm">Main Characters</A> | <A HREF="jporderingpage.htm">To Order</A> | <A HREF="credits.htm">Credits</A> | <A HREF="writer.htm">Writer's Story</A> | <A HREF="criticsroom.htm">"Critics" Comments<BR> </A><A HREF="video.htm">Video Cover</A> | <A HREF="studyguide.htm">Study Guide</A> | <A HREF="music.htm">Soundtrack CD</A> | <A HREF="jesus.htm">Summary</A> | <A HREF="judas-project.htm">Film Purpose</A></FONT></FONT></P></CENTER> <CENTER><P><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>***<A HREF="index.html">Please sign our Guest Book.</A>***</FONT></FONT></P></CENTER> <CENTER><P><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1><A HREF="jesus.htm">If you don't know Jesus and you would like to...Click here.</A></FONT></FONT></P></CENTER> <CENTER><P><FONT SIZE=-1><FONT COLOR="#00D7D7">All rights reserved by</FONT><FONT COLOR="#00EAEA"> <A HREF="contactpage.htm">James H.
