“Come Unto Me” is an encouraging film that inspires the viewer to have faith, for Christ is with us. The story is about a young boy named Samuel (Cooper Johnson) and his sister Mary (Caddis Adams). The two are separated from their father because he owes taxes. The Roman soldiers wanted his daughter Mary as payment, so the father sent the two children away to protect them. At a well, they come across a woman named Mary (Shaunna Thompson), who gladly offers them water to drink. She tells them of her son named Jesus and how his name means salvation, for an angel of the Lord told Joseph in a dream to name him Jesus.
Although there is no biblical record of Jesus meeting a little girl named Mary or a little boy named Samuel, the story relies on the truth of Scripture. It also shows how John the Baptist baptized people and Jesus himself became baptized and how he always shared the word of God. In the film’s wonderful climax, John baptizes the kids. Jesus (Darin Southam) tells the children they will see their father again, either on Earth or in Heaven. We are pleased to award this wonderful film our “Faith-Friendly” Seal for all ages.
