'Are you familiar
with the New Testament...
...where Jesus talks
about grace and reconciliation?' is the bit i could find from the script but the middle bit of the quote is missing

I'm not sure which phrase you mean exactly, but here's the script for the movie. Hopefully you know about where it is in the movie.

Are old person is put on the Cross with Christ we are then Born again death no long applies to us we have been given everlasting life the old person we used to be is dead
The Reconciliation is are mission our ministry to bring Gods family back to Christ a mission of love not condemnation Christ died for all sinners not just a few so that all may not perish but have everlasting life

All non Christians are walking dead, like Jesus said" let the dead burrie the Dead."

hi
i haven't seen the film but in the bible there are two linked ideas. firstly, when you trust in jesus your life changes. rather than being a sinful person you become a righteous person ( a person 'put right' with God.) This is dying to your old person and rising from death as a new person. When you have died and been raised to new life you are reconciled to God. You are also given a job to do, showing others the path of reconciliation. I don't know if this fits in with the film but it's what is meant in the bible passages below.
hope this helps..

Romans 6
Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ
1What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. 6For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin— 7because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

2 Corinthians 5:17-19 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society


17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

Don't know, but the NT is all about the reconcilliation of God and man (Jews particularly) through the blood of Jesus Christ.
