Academy Award-winning actor Denzel Washington is the star of the new film, “Roman J. Israel, Esq,” and in a recent interview the actor said that although Christians know Jesus died for our sins, they still forget.
The Christian Post sat down with Washington and the director/writer of “Roman J. Israel, Esq,” Dan Gilroy, and they explained that they both prayed and read the Bible every day while filming the Columbia Pictures film.
“I was reading about this today in my prayer and meditation. It is so difficult to trust that Jesus died for our sins because the mind never shuts off, especially in this world when you’re given all this information,” Washington shared of his faithful devotional time with God.
The passionate Christian went on to share what Jesus spoke to his disciples when they forgot and became afraid while out at sea where the winds began to rock their boat as described in Mark 4.
“What did he say in the boat? ‘Fellas, go to bed,'” he exclaimed. “We know, but we forget constantly, moment by moment.”
In his new film, “Roman J. Israel, Esq.,” Washington plays a lawyer named Roman J. Israel who has been fighting the good fight while others take the credit. “He finds out some unsettling things about what the crusading law firm he worked for has done that run afoul of his values of helping the poor and disposessed, and he finds himself in an existential crisis that leads to extreme action,” the film’s synopsis states.
