The renowned worship leader and songwriter, Chris Tomlin, has spent decades creating music that uplifts and inspires. Now, his latest project, The Last Supper, takes his passion for God, faith and storytelling beyond the realm of music and into filmmaking. 

As an executive producer of the upcoming film, Tomlin brings a deeply personal perspective to one of the most pivotal moments in Christian history: Jesus’ final meal with his disciples.

The journey began unexpectedly. When the filmmakers approached Tomlin, they simply wanted to know if he had a song that might fit the film’s theme. After watching an early screening, he was immediately drawn to the project. The Last Supper stood out to him because it focused not just on Jesus’ sacrifice but also on the human side of the disciples—their doubts, fears, and devotion.

At the time, Tomlin had just written a song titled No Greater Love at a songwriting retreat with Tyler Hubbard, Corey Crowder, and Matt Jenkins. Inspired by John 15:13—“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”—the song reflected the heart of Jesus’ sacrifice. When the filmmakers heard it, they knew they had found the perfect piece for the film’s closing scene. “It felt like a divine moment,” Tomlin recalls. “It was as if the song had been written specifically for this film, even though I didn’t know about the movie when I wrote it.”

The connection between No Greater Love and The Last Supper was more than just thematic—it was spiritual. Tomlin describes it as a “Godwink moment,” where everything aligned in a way only divine intervention could orchestrate. The song’s placement in the film was not just an artistic choice but a testament to the way faith weaves together seemingly unrelated events.

As an executive producer, Tomlin’s role in The Last Supper extended beyond music. He was actively involved in ensuring the film remained biblically accurate while also being emotionally resonant. He was particularly moved by how the film captured the disciples as real people, not just historical figures. Having visited Israel himself, Tomlin understands the power of bringing Scripture to life in a tangible way.

Beyond his work on The Last Supper, Tomlin remains deeply engaged in his musical career. He is currently on tour and preparing for his 9th annual Good Friday concert in Nashville. Additionally, he is collaborating on a project to revive the earliest known Christian hymn, discovered in Egypt and dating back to 200 AD.

As The Last Supper prepares for its theatrical release, Tomlin hopes the film reaches those who need its message the most. “Jesus knew he was about to be betrayed, yet he still offered his love and sacrifice,” he says. “I hope people see that you don’t have to be perfect to be welcomed at his table.”
