A continuation of the first part of the conversations with the fit Jesus explaining in a very friendly way the basic truths about God. While this film is practically an hour of dialogue, it is not at all boring or uninteresting. A very sympathetic treatment of the theme of the spiritual life.
Sarah meets a man on an airplane flight with whom she strikes up a casual conversation. That man is Jesus, but she doesn’t find out until considerably later.
The opening point of the conversation with Jesus is a critique of religion. What Jesus is criticizing in the film is a misunderstood religion reduced to outward manifestations, or a religion where formal acts are given the most weight.
At one point Jesus points out that it is a mistake to think of religion as trying to win God over with good works and rituals. This is not to say that good works and rituals have no place in a rightly lived faith. On the contrary, they are a full part of it, but it is to spring from within from the heart and not the other way around.
The film shows that there is no need to go too harsh on more wounded people with faith and religious arguments. It’s better if they let these things go through their heads gradually.
Other topics of conversation include the issue of happiness in life, the existence of evil in the world and various others.
