Actor Jim Caviezel has not only portrayed the role of prominent biblical figureheads on the big screen but also makes a point to live out the Christian life when the cameras stop rolling.
“My gift is from God,” Caviezel says of his acting ability. “It was a gift given to me. I didn’t give it to myself.”
The rising Hollywood star, who played Jesus in The Passion of the Christ and the apostle Luke in the newly released film Paul, Apostle of Christ, recently sent a message to fellow Christians about the importance of living out our faith without fear.
“In terms of persecution around the world, what message would you like that audience to hear, as it relates to this movie?” the actor was asked in an interview.
“Well you mean as far as the Chaldeans, Coptics and Syrian Christians that were crucified on Good Friday last year?” replied Caviezel. “I would say the United States, we’ve got to, as Christians, start not being afraid.”
