I think both him and Jim Caviezel are kind and genuine souls that were destined to play Jesus. God bless them both!

[@elaifa-pt6nc]

Robert Powell as well in "Jesus of Nazareth"

[@gradybaby_kv]

Yup and they're both Catholic as well so its nice to know that besides portraying Jesus they also really understand what the Lord Jesus Christ went through to save us all from our sins, since they're both believers

[@CarolBakerRN]

I have been a distant Catholic, not attending mass or praying anymore. Separate from my God. Because of the Chosen, I have renewed my faith, gone to confession, praying and crying and reconnecting with Christ Jesus and feeling so blessed to be back. Trying to live a holy life, as God asks me to. Bless you young Jonathan. When I count my blessings, I count you twice.

When this man, Jonathan Roumie, portrays Jesus in "The Chosen," he is the only man who played the part as I so much wanted. As a human "man." A man who lived, laughed and loved. All other actors were so serious, so stiff (if that is the proper word). Jonathan is everything I would imagine Jesus Christ to be like. Thank you Jonathan Roumie!

The first time I had ever heard about the ministry of presence, I was working at a home for pregnant women in Phoenix, AZ. I learned that in those moments when someone is in need of attention and compassion, God is calling us to act in His Stead and demonstrate to that person that they matter. That what they are going through matters and the best thing that we can offer them in those moments is our full and undivided attention. It was a powerful lesson that I have not forgotten and was gently reminded of listening to Mr. Roumie. God bless you and the St. Paul Center.

[@Notevenone]

@@LeirbagFR I see, forgive me for assuming things about you.

[@lindakariuki3332]

@@LeirbagFR Am a Catholic and am not aware that Catholics worship idols. We do use images for religious purposes but we certainly do not worship them. God never forbade correct use of religious images. Here are some biblical examples of religious use of images. Read: Numbers 21:8 The LORD said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live." So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived. Exodus 25:18-19, God speaking to Moses again says, " And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. Of one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends." That Catholics worship idols is a misconception. One can not know this truth without reading what the Catholic church actually teaches. We only worship the one true God in the consubstantial persons of the Holy Trinity. Meanwhile idols are not necessarily images but anything that makes us focus our energies on any thing other than God especially excessive love or misuse of things of this world which make us turn away from God like love for power, self, money, sex etc. Those are the idols many men and women are guilty of worshipping.

The Saturday Sabbath was changed to the venerable day of the Sun, Sunday, by the Roman Emperor, Constantine on March 7th, in the year 324 A.D., usurping Gods authority. I was raised in the Catholic Church, and I attest that much is erroneous inside the Vatican! They call pedophile priests, “Father”, when our only Father is God! That we should confess our sins to a man! No, I confess my sins before God Almighty, and Him alone!

Beautiful reminder that we are ALL called to “be Jesus” to others... To let God work through us. And as Jonathan said, “Memento Mori”! We should live each day as if it were our last (as it could very well be) and ask ourselves (and the Holy Spirit) how we can serve God and those around us with the time He has graciously given us. If we did that every day, we’d live holier lives which was the very purpose of Memento Mori. Jonathan seems to be a very humble person but also very passionate about his faith. I always enjoy listening to him speak about it.

The Chosen is my ministry tool. The ability to see from such a perspective is so powerful that every episode has moved me. Every single one.

[@codymattison8189]

-Works salvation (through sacraments) -Infant baptism -purgatory -idolatry (bowing and praying to statues) -necromancy (praying to the dead) -Transubstantiation ... and many other things, but these are a few examples of the heretical teachings of the catholic church, which not only aren't supported by Scripture but most of them directly oppose what God has instructed. I encourage you to compare all things to God's Word (KJV) like a noble berean (Acts 17:11).

He Needs our prayers... It's not that easy To Play the Role of Jesus. It's Both Spiritually and Mentally and Bodily Very Hard... Pray That He stands Firme. Cause this is going to be a Very Long Journey... Even Lord Jesus Was Tempted , How much More Jonathan needs our prayer Support.

I am a bit speechless. He's so humble

God bless you Jonathan and all others for keeping Jesus in our lives! Now more than ever we NEED him. 👏🏼

[@elladumaplin6922]

Jonathan,you are the embodiment of what it is to be a role model for humanity in this trying times when the world is in turmoil! Too much sin ,killings everywhere,political discourse,nations against nations,and so many other transgressions.May you continue to serve Our Lord in everything you do.Many of us are in constant prayer for you.

[@lindaconway6868]

Just watched your talk and you are truly a gift from God in this crazy world. My husband and I love The Chosen and we love the way you portray Jesus ! May God bless you and keep and May His face shine on you and grant you peace and protection.

[@JoGaPeach4259]

The story touched my heart enormously Jonathan. It’s a reminder to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading for us to be Christ-like for that one individual sweet soul. Thank you.

[@jennifershafer6506]

What a wonderful event for everyone who attended the gala! Jonathan is undoubtedly a faithful servant to Our Lord and is clearly surrendering to God's will in order to bring more souls to Christ. I was blessed to meet Jonathan at Abbey Fest this past summer and Scott Hahn is absolutely correct: He is THE REAL DEAL! He reached thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds that day. Everyone who I've talked to that attended this event were changed in one way or another. The Holy Spirit was definitely present. Any chance Jonathan may be invited to speak at The Franciscan University of Steubenville? I think this would be an unbelievable life-changing experience for so many! I hail from Steubenville so The University holds a very special place in my heart.

What a tremendous encouraging testimony! GOD BLESS YOU ALL ! The Chosen program is "chosen for such a time as this"!!!

God bless Jonathan and protect him in his career.

[@GiftofChaosStudio]

I can't wait to see him portray my beloved St. Francis. He would be perfect for a film truly depicting his life!

[@killianmiller6107]

At this point, if Roumie played St Francis, nobody would get over the fact that he looks like Jesus from the Chosen

[@JP2GiannaT]

I'm rooting for a Bob Ross biopic myself...

The pope?

[@GiftofChaosStudio]

@@MFaith777 which pope I hope you aren't think I think pope francis is St. Francis because uh he's no where near a saint or close to l St. Francis as he likes to think

We have been privileged to know some of the inside stories about The Chosen, miracles that lined up for filming, their social media successes and why, and are grateful for friends who have been able to participate as actors. Blessings to all for a most sacred Celebration of Christ & Christmas 🎄!
