- Quotes
[last lines]
Jesus: I've learned so much since leaving Egypt. I know everything I can for today. I even know I'm going to die. I used to wonder if angels would come to me, if they would sing to me, if they would fill my dreams. There is still so much that I don't know, but I do know this. I don't think I'm here to see angels or to hear them sing. And I don't think I'm here to make it rainy or sunny or anything like that. I think I'm here just to be alive. To see it, hear it, feel it, all of it. Even when it hurts. Someday you will tell me why else I'm here. I don't know when, but you will. I know that. Because, Father, I am your child.

Overall, the Young Messiah is about Jesus' childhood, starting at 7 years old, and he's exploring the different curiosities he has about himself. However, many people in the city know about the young the messiah and the miracles he can perform. But still have yet to know who he is. He's valued and also wanted by people for the gifts he has, yet as a young boy. He's still unsure on why his parents are so protective of him. There's also a pharaoh that sends his men to look for Jesus.
During the film Satan is present but no one else can see him, other than Jesus. He also appears as a human. In the bible it does not mention that Jesus sees a demon in human form. In Matthew 2:13, it states that joseph was told to flee with Mary and jesus to egypt. This is because pharaoh herod wil search and destroy him. This is very accurate to the Young Messiah. Jesus proclaimed Satan not to touch him, and Satan was astonished by the authority that Jesus had. Matthew 4:6 also plays a factor in the temptations that Satan was trying to give to Jesus. As a result in the book of Luke, the film does not relate to each other. Overall, the film does provide a good perspective for the way Jesus was as a child. Yet there are still a lot of details that are missing within the movie.
