This hand-drawn video tells the story of one of the criminals crucified with Jesus. While not much information is given about this man in the Bible (Matthew 27:33-50, Mark 15:22-37, Luke 23:32-46, and John 19:17-30), this video gives a creative interpretation to what happened around the conversation between this man, called Demas, and Jesus on the cross. The story ends with a powerful call for response to the sacrifice that Jesus made as Savior of the world. This video resource with an English voiceover is 3 minutes and 35 seconds long, and is suitable for all ages.
