This film is suggested for ages all ages and may contain mild thematic content. Biblical themes explored include Jesus Christ's voluntary sacrifice and crucifixion (John 10:11, John 3:16), Jesus's resurrection and return to life (1 Corinthians 15:3-4, Matthew 28), The concept of vicarious atonement - one dies so others may live (Isaiah 53:4-6, Romans 5:8), Jesus as the willing sacrifice/lamb of God (John 1:29, 1 Peter 1:18-19). We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
