Morgan Freeman as Jesus Christ
By reading Mark's gospel, I was able to find three character traits of Jesus Christ. Based on those traits, Morgan Freeman suits Jesus the best.
Authoritative
Calm
Strong
Mark 4:14-20 "The sower sows the word...But those sown on rich soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fuit thirty and sixty and a hundredfold."
Mark 8:31 "He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected...and be killed, and rise after three days."
Mark 4:37-38 "A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion."
Mark's Gospel
Jesus is used to leading and instructing others. He also places himself as the ideal or the goal, testing others to see if they are worthy of the kingdom of God.
Jesus rarely expresses strong emotions, such as bursting out into laughter or trembling in fear, even in situations most others would do.
Jesus keeps to his faith, service, and virtues knowing he wll have to endure great suffering, even though it distresses him greatly.
Jesus' Character
While serving in the Air Force, Freeman's friend forgot his ID and was arrested by the police. Freeman had his ID, but kept to his virtues and went to jail with his friend for four days.
Freeman formed his production company, Revelations Entertainment, and also has experience playing God in Bruce Almighty (2003).
Freeman is known for his calm demeanor which is supported by his calm voice. Netflix even made a video stating "Nothing calms us like the smooth voice of Morgan Freeman".
