“Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. But John tried to stop Him, saying, ‘I need to be baptized by You, and yet You come to me?’

Jesus answered him, ‘Allow it for now, because this is the way for us to fulfill all righteousness.’ Then he allowed Him [to be baptized].

After Jesus was baptized, He went up immediately from the water. The heavens suddenly opened for Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on Him. And there came a voice from heaven:

‘This is My beloved Son. I take delight in Him!’”

Matthew 3:13-17

“When all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized. As He was praying, heaven opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a physical appearance like a dove. And a voice came from heaven:

‘You are My beloved Son. I take delight in You!’”

Luke 3: 21-22

“As the crowd was pressing in on Jesus to hear God’s word, He was standing by Lake Gennesaret. He saw two boats at the edge of the lake; the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from the land. Then He sat down and was teaching the crowds from the boat.

When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, ‘Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.’

‘Master,’ Simon replied, ‘we’ve worked hard all night long and caught nothing! But at Your word, I’ll let down the nets.’

When they did this, they caught a great number of fish, and their nets began to tear. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, ‘Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!’ For he and all those with him were amazed at the catch of fish they took, and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners. 

‘Don’t be afraid,’ Jesus told Simon. ‘From now on you will be catching people!’ Then they brought the boats to land, left everything, and followed Him.

“Then looking up at His disciples, He said:

‘Blessed are you who are poor, because the kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are hungry now, because you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, because you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you, insult you, and slander your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.

Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! Take note-your reward is great in heaven, because this is the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.’”

Actors who portray Martha and the Disciples

When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. Bethany was near Jerusalem (about two miles away). Many of the Jews had come to Martha  and Mary to comfort them about their brother. As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet Him. But Mary remained seated in the house.

Then Martha said to Jesus, ‘Lord, if You had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died. Yet even now I know that whatever You ask from God, God will give You.’

‘Your brother will rise again.’ Jesus told her. Martha said, I  know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.’ Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live. Everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die-ever. Do you believe this?’

‘Yes, Lord,’ she told Him, ‘I believe You are the Messiah, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.’……

‘Remove the stone,’ Jesus said. Martha, the dead man’s sister, told Him, ‘Lord, he already stinks. It’s been four days.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Didn’t I tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?’

So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes and said, ‘Father, I thank You that You heard Me. I know that You always hear Me, but because of the crowd standing here I said this, so they may believe You sent Me.’ After He said this, He shouted with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come out!’ The dead man came out bound hand and foot with linen strips and with his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, ‘Loose him and let him go.’

Actors who portray Jesus Christ and his Disciples.

“The next day, when the large crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they took palm branches and went out to meet Him. They kept shouting: ‘Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord – the King of Israel!’

Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written: Fear no more, Daughter Zion; look! your King is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt.

His disciples did not understand these things at first. However, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about Him and that they had done these things to Him. Meanwhile the crowd, which had been with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify. This is also why the crowd met Him, because they heard He had done this sign. 

Then the Pharisees said to one another, ‘You see? You’ve accomplished nothing. Look-the world has gone after Him!’

“When the hour came, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him. Then He said to them, ‘ I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’ Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, He said, ‘Take this and share it among yourselves. For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.’

And He took bread, gave thanks, broke it, gave it to them, and said, ‘This is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.’

In the same way He also took the cup after supper and said, ‘ This cup is the new covenant [established by] My blood; it is shed for you. But look, the hand of the one betraying Me is at the table with Me! For the Son of Man will go away as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!’

So they began to argue among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do this thing.”

Actor who portrays Jesus Christ

“As they led Him away, they seized Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country, and laid the cross on him to carry behind Jesus. A great multitude of the people followed Him, including women who were mourning and lamenting Him. But turning to them, Jesus said, ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and your children. Look, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed! Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us! and to the hills ‘Cover us!’ For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?’

Two others-criminals-were also led away to be executed with Him. When they arrived at the place called The Skull, they crucified Him there, along with the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing.’ And they divided His clothes and cast lots.

The people stood watching, and even the leaders kept scoffing: ‘He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One!’ The soldiers also mocked Him. They came offering Him sour wine and said, ‘If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!’

An inscription was above Him:

THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS

Then one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at Him: ‘Aren’t You the Messiah? Save Yourself and us!’

But the other answered, rebuking him: ‘Don’t you even fear God, since you are undergoing the same punishment? We are punished justly, because we’re getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.’ Then he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!’

And He said to him, ‘I assure you: Today you will be with Me in paradise.’

It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three, because the sun’s light failed. The curtain of the sanctuary was split down the middle, And Jesus called out with a loud voice, ‘Father, into Your hands I entrust My spirit.’ Saying this, He breathed His last. When the centurion saw what happened, he began to glorify God, saying, ‘This man really was righteous!’ All the crowds that had gathered for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, went home, striking their chests. But all who knew Him, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.”

Luke 23: 26-49

The Bible’s Diogo Morgado joins Ed Asner and other top stars in the upcoming romantic drama “Love Finds You In Valentine”. The third movie, which is based on Irene Brand’s book, is currently filming  in Millersburg, Ohio, according to UP  tv’s recent press release.

What is the sweet film that is scheduled for a 2016 release all about? Here is the synopsis:

“In Love Finds You In Valentine, after her parents die, law student Kennedy Blaine (Michaela Mcmanus) inherits a ranch in the small town of Valentine, Nebraska. She travels to Valentine with the intent of selling the ranch, but is drawn to the area’s beauty – and to ranch foreman, Derek Sterling (Diogo Morgado). Putting her life in L.A. on hold, she decides to spend some time at her ancestral home and, despite a long-standing feud, to reconnect with family members, including a grandfather, Gabriel Morgan (Ed Asner), who she has never met. But soon Kennedy is subjected to harassment by someone who clearly wants her to leave Valentine. Depending on Derek and his mother June’s (Lindsay Wagner) assistance, she sets out to discover who is behind the offenses. But when her search reveals painful details about her family and raises questions about Derek’s own past, will Kennedy still want to know the truth?”

The first “love” film titled “Love Finds You In Sugarcreek” was the most popular movie on UP tv in 2014. The sequel “Love Finds You in Charm” airs this Sunday at 7PM EST.

After playing Jesus Christ, it will be a little strange to see Diogo Morgado play a regular role. It doesn’t change the fact that I’m still very curious about this film, and it will be great to see Ed Asner again.

* A Special Thanks to UP tv’s PR team for the press release*

It’s almost here! 

This week, UP Tv made the big announcement that the third installment in the “Love Finds You” series will premiere on the most romantic day of the year.

Check out the following excerpt from the official press release below:

‘”We are excited to bring viewers the third movie in our highly successful ‘Love Finds You’ franchise this Valentine’s Day,’ said Barbara Fisher, svp, original programming, UP. “The tremendously talented cast shines in this picturesque movie about finding yourself and finding love.’

In “Love Finds You In Valentine”, law student Kennedy Blaine (Michaela McManus) inherits a ranch in the small town of Valentine, Nebraska. She travels to Valentine with the intent of selling the ranch, but is drawn to the area’s beauty – and to the ranch foreman, Derek Sterling (Diogo Morgado).  Putting her life in L.A. on hold, she decides to spend some time at her ancestral home and, despite a long-standing feud, to reconnect with family members, including her grandfather, Gabriel Morgan (Ed Asner). But soon Kennedy is subjected to harassment by someone who clearly wants her to leave Valentine. Depending on Derek and his mother June’s (Lindsay Wagner) assistance, she sets out to discover who is behind the offenses.  But when her search reveals painful details about her family and raises questions about Derek’s own past, will Kennedy still want to know the truth?'”

BTSCelebs is super excited for the official premiere!

*A Special Thanks UP PR for the photos and info.*

The star of  the upcoming film“Love Finds You In Valentine“ will make time next week to chat with BTSCelebs!

Actor Diogo Morgado (from “The Bible” and “Son of God” fame) stars as ranch foreman Derek Sterling in the new UP tv movie based on author Irene B Brand’s novel. BTSCelebs will ask him all about his new movie and any behind-the-scenes goodies.

Look out for his exclusive tailor made for BTSCelebers very soon!

“Love Finds You In Valentine” premieres Sunday, February 14 at 7 p.m on UP tv.

*BTSCelebs sends a special thanks to UP tv for the photos.*

Today, BTSCelebs was given the opportunity to speak to the talented and gracious Diogo Morgado. The kind actor took time out of his busy day to personally answer a few questions via phone about his upcoming film “Love Finds You In Valentine”.

Discover what he thought about the film and more BTS information about his inspiring new movie. Check out part 1 of the wonderful exclusive below:

BTSCelebs: Why did you choose to join the cast of “Love Finds You In Valentine”?

Diogo Morgado: I chose the story. I was looking for something a little more sincere in terms of structure from the last things I did originally. This came along, it was perfect. For me, it was like the perfect story. It’s an inspirational story. It’s an uplifting story. It’s a story about family. It’s a story about love. It’s about recovery. My character especially is troubled. He has a troubled childhood…he was a troubled kid as he was growing up. He finds the Circle Cross. This ranch basically became his salvation.  Now, he is a better person, and a better man because of that.  All of those elements persuaded me to get this project.

Are you a fan of the author or original novel “Love Finds You in Valentine, Nebraska”?

To be brutally honest with you, I didn’t even know about the novels. I did see both of the previous movies, and I totally understand the concept. Alot of the writing…the writers I know left out a couple of things.  I read part of the book “Love Finds You in Valentine” just to get inspiration from. We got some parts of the book that was not included in the script, and we brought it to the script. We tried to be truthful to the research of the book as much as we could. At the same, our take from the book and from the story. That was it. That was our guideline. From there, we built our own truths, characters and our take from the story.

Did you have the opportunity to meet the author?

No, she didn’t unfortunately. I would love to meet her, but that wasn’t the case.

What did you think about the movie’s breathtaking filming location?

I think the location served the movie in terms of the story. To be honest with you, I think in this type of movie the location is just another character. It plays out as a crucial part of the storytelling. So, I would say the same actors and directors in a different location would be a totally different movie. The location serves. If it’s the movie telling you a story about how a place changed a person… it has to do that. You have to believe that this place is so authentic and so powerful that it can change people. The whole story, the place and location was crucial. So to find this in Ohio,  it looks really beautiful. A lot of the footage you see is not honest enough to how beautiful it was. It was pretty daunting with all the wild horses running freely. You feel the nature in its purest and beautiful form. It serves the movie in a really beautiful way. Me and Michaela [McManus] felt inspired by the location. I took a bunch of pictures, posted a bunch of pictures and a mini-video of when I visited an Amish farm.  All of that and a humble way of living really served the movie.

Stay tuned for part 2 of BTSCelebs’ exciting interview with Mr. Morgado!

UP tv’s “Love Finds You In Valentine” premieres on February 14th at 7 p.m EST.

*BTSCelebs sends a special thanks to UP tv and Diogo Morgado for the interview and photos.*

BTSCelebs: You play ranch foreman Derek Sterling in your new movie. Is your personality anything like your character in the film?

Diogo Morgado: Yes, I think so. As a character we always start from a point of knowing.  What I mean is… we always start from a point from ourselves. From there, we start putting layers and different stuff based on information and stuff we want to achieve with the character or what we want to inspire. There were different elements that I was inspired by. I was beginning to connect with the audience. That path for the role. That troubled past or some sort of trauma, or a deep experience that somehow shaped the way they are as a person right now. I try to find inspiration in those kind of people I named in the past. For instance, the people that get out of jail and trying to enter society. They get it rough. It’s a rough time when you truly regret what you did in the past. You hope that wouldn’t define you as a person. You struggle with it. It’s hard. You get defensive and protective. Normally, you get strength in working really hard. So, I think Derek is a really hard worker. He found the Circle Cross to be his salvation. You hold on to that with everything you got. That’s why he’s defensive when Kennedy comes along. He tries to defend a piece of land that’s not his piece of land, but it’s his piece of land from the heart. It’s part of who he is. I try to get inspiration from that, of course. We always use part of who we are, but just as a start. We build on top of that.

So, answering your question. No, there are certain things that might be similar to me and Derek. Not in the structure actually. I was luckier in my childhood than Derek was.

Tell us about one surreal moment behind-the-scenes working with screen icon Lindsay Wagner.

It was great. She was a generous actor. I don’t know if you know this but I’ve been working as an actor in Europe not in the US. So, there are alot of things about the American culture that I’m not familiar with the same way you guys are. I remember her from “Bionic Woman”, but that was pretty much it. The good thing was that, I didn’t have any preconceptions about anyone. When you meet a person, you see the true person. It was beautiful to see this beautiful woman becoming my mother in the movie. She was pretty generous about it. We try to bring the love between a mother and her son. June adopted Derek. We tried to make that love as real or even deeper than a blood relationship. That was really important for us. We were on the same page with that. Hopefully, that came across.

If you had the opportunity to star in a film with any popular Hollywood stars, who would they be?

That’s only Tom Hanks. He’s my hero. He’s the one that name when I think about acting. Being an actor, what type of story I would like to tell I always say Tom Hank’s is the perfect example.  He did it all. He did it all really well. The day I would be in a movie with Tom Hanks  would be like the day I would be putting my gloves down. That’s it. I’m done. ….I’m not a fan of the star. I’m a fan of the actor, artist, the person as a talent.

What projects can we look forward to seeing you in 2016?

I just finished “CSI: Cyber “as a guest star. It happened this week. I really hope that this year I’ll be coming out with something as good as what I did so far. Pretty excited.

Don’t forget to watch Mr. Morgado portray ranch foreman Derek Sterling in the upcoming film “Love Finds You In Valentine” on UP tv on Valentine’s Day at 7pm EST.

*BTSCelebs sends a special thanks to UP tv and Diogo Morgado for the interview and photos.*

Diogo Morgado and Michaela Mcmanus star as Derek Sterling  and Kennedy Blaine in the new UP tv romantic film “Love Finds You In Valentine”. Derek is a ranch foreman solely devoted to the property he works on, while Kennedy is the law student who inherits the ranch and contemplates selling it. Once Kennedy finds out the truth behind the ranch’s financial situation and falls for the foreman, she slowing becomes attached to her family’s historic home and peaceful area. Derek and Kennedy’s family secrets come to light as they become honest with their feelings and let love find them in Valentine, Nebraska.

The scenery in this film is utterly breathtaking! It’s so beautiful that it almost distracts you from the intriguing storyline. If you are a fan of the main stars including iconic stars Lindsay Wagner and Ed Asner, I say gather your family and friends around the TV tomorrow night and check it out. Everyone did a very nice job in their individual roles. The onely complaint I do have is the chemistry between Diogo Morgado and Michaela Mcmanus. They weren’t 100% convincing as a couple in love. It probably would have been better for the two to remain good friends rather than develop a loveline between them. Other than that, it is a good wholesome family film definitely worth watching.

Watch “Love Finds You In Valentine” tomorrow at 7PM EST on UP tv.

*A Special Thanks to UP tv PR for the screener of the movie and the photo*
