Stories that reimagine Jesus, considering what his life would look like if lived in the modern world, have a long history in the Christian imagination. What would Jesus do? How would governments and leaders respond? And would you believe him if he showed up here and now?

And, as your watching, consider this question: How should the character of Aviram (Avi) respond when he finds himself resurrected to a new life at the end of Messiah?
