This is a short but effective film, powerful in demonstrating Lady Jane Grey’s faith which enabled her to stand strong for her beliefs, even to the point of death. The history of this event is portrayed after a young girl reads about Lady Jane in the library in the film’s opening sequence. Lady Jane will not accept the faith of her cousin, Queen Mary, but holds to her own Christian faith and is sentenced to death for it.
In the day before her execution we see Lady Jane Grey writing a letter to her sister Catherine and praying and stating she is ready to die for “the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth.” She looks forward to entering the Lord’s presence and she prays with assurance to the Lord Jesus Christ. She quotes Psalms 23 on her way to the chopping block
This is an inspiring short, a history-based program which manages to convey the intensity of the moment and of Lady Jane Grey’s faith, in just fifteen minutes. We highly recommend it and gladly affix our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to it. We believe this is a DVD suitable for all ages but obviously it involves the theme of death which the very young would probably not comprehend. Parents will want to watch it with their children to discuss its important historical implications.
