In commemoration of Matthew 21, hundreds will gather in New Orleans to ignite a Passion for God unlike anything America has ever seen. Among them, actor Shane Harper will play one of Jesus’ disciples in The Passion Live this Sunday.

“My relationship with the Lord drives everything in my life,” Harper tells Charisma News. “This is a really powerful way to communicate this story, communicate the love of Christ, but at the same time, it is a daring, much more modern-day, modern pop music telling (of the resurrection story).
