[@fiddlingaround]

When Jesus says "Thus says the Lord who created you", and the bell is heard, I understood that as Mary being shocked to her core by the reality that she is seeing the God who created her standing before her. I think that when anyone has a encounter with God, they can never be the same. You can go to church your whole life, and say you believe in God, but when you encounter Him personally, everything suddenly becomes real, and changes you forever.

Dallas Jenkins definitely will give as much support as I can. The fact that this is crowd funded is an even greater blessing and I truly believe that God has sent you and everyone working on this project for a very GREAT work in these last days of time. My desire to be closer to Jesus has been largely effected by this show over the past few days and we will be praying for God to continue to use this project to absolutely change lives. Not only has it helped me realize the depth of the love of Christ, but it has truly helped me to be more Christ like on a daily basis. The Holy Spirit is present in this series unlike any other series I’ve ever seen. And I believe that God will truly bless you all for your work, and he will surely bring season 2 to the world soon. And until then, I will likely continue to rewatch season 1! I look forward to seeing you all in the kingdom with our wonderful Lord and Savior. God bless you, everyone involved, and everyone else

[@samconduct1356]

Jesus is not only releasing the demons from her, he is healing the emotional wounds and fears that began in childhood. Mary tells her father she's scared but she cannot articulate why. She has a sense of foreboding and of course her father then dies and leaves her alone in the world. Men have abandoned her and abused her until Jesus, like a loving father, receives her as her grief and wounds are melted away. It's a scene unlike any I have ever watched on film honestly.

[@wizardnetwork]

[@jjsmurf8759]

From the first time I saw this scene a year ago until now... every time... it brings tears. As a 45 year old man who battled alcoholism and mental illness for many years, this hits deep. Then, when Mary leaves and returns with Matthew and Andrew... again, the tears. December 29, 2015 was my last drink. The start of my rehabilitation. The rebirth of my life with God as the foundation. I was baptized on 9.23.18 because I truly believe that Jesus is my "in between". Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for making this show. I can now tell people "This really is how it feels." And they can somewhat relate.

I’m right there with you Dallas, no matter how many times I see this scene, even when you are dissecting it like this I still cry. Absolutely beautiful and it’s so easy to see myself in that scene.

[@lindycombs2217]

Thanks, Paul, for this comment. I need to share this: I have watched this whole season 5 or 6 times, never stopping to drink in of this scene. [I bought the DVD] and this time watching Dallas dissecting it, (Oh it is glorious!!) I am thoroughly overwhelmed with His Light revealing to me that what He did for her is what I need, due to my history of decades in which the devil attempted to destroy me with church-cult-lies, childhood neglect, sexual abuse, and 4 abusive marriages. I used to be, at age 12 or so, fascinated with self harm. I never did it, due to waking to the reality of what cutting really does, (I won't mention what that adversary worked to try to get me to do to myself). Thank you for this opportunity to reply.

[@daughterofthekingofkings2878]

Wow.brilliant execution.even if u weren't explaining so much, the show speaks for itself. But it's good u are explaining the details. Coz many traditional and religious people can't take it. I personally believe that Jesus is super cool super funny, I am also falling in love with your direction. Tat already happened tho. Have watched season one so many times. I felt like I am Mary Of Magdala or the Samaritan women. You are very keen and you have a very different insight. It's brilliant. If I weren't a nurse, I wud have been an actor playing some character in The Chosen. Just kidding.. I know it's tough.I don't know ABC of acting.. just saying.. Tat much I am addicted to this series. Tat much I love it.. Love all characters.. Love you all The Chosen team. Waiting for season 2.

Still tearful 😢- every time I watch it. I’m so moved by this scene and each episode brings me to tears after watching many times. I can see myself in Mary’s heartfelt cries and Jesus loving care to heal her. I think anyone can relate to this scene in its intimacy with the Lord. He is the only one who truly knows our pain and how to heal us. We don’t have to be possessed to put ourselves in her place.

[@privatecitizen9341]

I loved this scene. I love the crosses on the walls that serve as holders for lanterns. With Jesus standing in between the two cross/lanterns, it is the image of Calvary. He begins Mary Magdalene's deliverance in a powerful way. Great image. I confess I did not notice this until I watched it the second time. It gave me chills. Beautiful image of salvation.

[@awakenotwoke7526]

The moment the music changes as Jesus is speaking to Mary slays me every time. The music....initially dark......then hope springs forth in the music as He speaks. Wow.

They have a talent for bringing a line from an earlier part in an episode, to making a greater impact near the end - e.g. "If not now, when?" Jesus first said to his mother - and then years later she repeated it back to Him. WOW!

I’m 60 years old, have had a relationship with Jesus since a young child and I am blown away each and every time I see this episode. My two sons are currently in need of a touch like this from the Master of the Universe. You are doing great work. Jonathan is by far the best portrayal of what I feel a would be Jesus. Jim Carviezel in the Passion of the Christ was good but Roumie is beyond superb.

[@wizardnetwork]

@Pat R -- Yup.. and Episode 6 just slay's me every time!!!

[@beverlytrejo1459]

Definitely agree with you Mary Ann on all accounts! I must say this is the very best casting I have ever seen for Jesus, I wonder if there has not been an intentional release of the Holy Spirit “for such a time as this”. We know that our world at this time definitely needs a “special touch from Jesus”, as Dallas said “ to know that Jesus wants to meet us where we are”. Being aware of how the Holy Spirit moves has to cause a stir when you see and hear the response from the viewers across the world! To hear almost everyone say they were in tears at least once in each episode is evidence I believe, to the work of the Holy Spirit that can touch and reach people where they need it most in their individual lives. Dallas is a phenomenal director, his passion is palatable and sincere! I can’t say enough good things about every episode I’ve seen. I saw the pilot episode on Christmas Eve at CC of Philly, as I watched I was taken to Nazareth and became more than a spectator, I felt the shepherds’ pain and his joy as he was introduced to the Savior and King of our world! His healing was emotional and portrayed in a perfect setting, as if while running his old life of disappointments, abuse and loneliness were healed and gone by the encounter with the “newborn King of the world”! I recommend that if you have seen and been touched by viewing these episodes that you support as you are able and share with as many as possible! God will surely touch those in need with his forgiveness and offer of eternal life! Can’t wait for Season 2!

[@johngilreath4069]

Absolutely agree. Love Jim Caviezel but Jonathan was a perfect choice to play Christ.

[@susandavies2284]

The last scene in episode 1 had me in tears, & it overwhelmed me powerfully! It was as if Christ spoke to me Isaiah 43, & I rested upon His chest. 💝😢 Jesus was also letting her know that He has been with her from the beginning. Mary’s earthly father spoke Isaiah 43 to her, as a young girl when she couldn’t sleep & she was afraid. As in the beginning of the episode. Powerful!!!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@sunsetfree5358]

Susan Carpenter Yeah, and it was the scripture she had kept hidden in her doll all those years. She had finally given up on the words of her father...the words of God; torn to shreds and thrown to the wind, over the cliff to the crashing water below... ...and then this man...calls her by her little-girl name...and speaks those shredded words long hidden in her doll, now lost to the wind...with a gentle yet authoritative voice just like her father... Words and memories of an ill human father, become the strong, healing words from the living Father of her soul! For her, the Word literally became flesh and stood before her!!

[@JamesAllen-hn7zb]

The use of the dove at the cliff shook me. I always go out to my back patio and contemplate the Lord. Thanking Him for the peace at this time and I would begin a conversation, albeit, a seemingly one-way conversation. Then I would be silent, so as to listen in my spirit. A long silence, expectation and more silence would start to demoralize me.... then a dove would do a slow fly by, and circle in my view.... and tears would burst from my eyes. In the past year, I have seen more doves in my presence and I realized, the Holy Spirit is near. I have many pictures of this now and I feel so blessed that you are using the Dove to convey that something special is going on. God Bless you all at the Chosen.... you Bell Ringers.

[@angelaroth2609]

In this behind the scenes vlog, Dallas explains that every scene of a show is planned with the last scene in mind. He and his team plan a season or a show by asking "Where do we want it to end?" Then they plan things backwards from the desired ending effect and impact. It occurred to me that God works this way too! He knows where He wants us to end up, so He plans things in our lives to get us there. Sometimes it is slow, sometimes it is painful, and sometimes it doesn't make sense to us. But if we can remember that God can see the end and we can't yet, it can help us to trust Him. I read this scripture verse recently: "But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things." 2 Nephi 2:23 Thanks Dallas and The Chosen Team for a great object lesson on how God works!💜

I absolutely love this scene and have watched it over and over. I love where almost the first thing she says to Jesus is, “Don’t touch me.” It foreshadows the morning of His resurrection, when He appears to Mary Magdalene first and says, “Touch me not.” It is such a powerful scene.

"Jesus meets you where you are.". So true, He actually pursued me into my 'pit of despair and evil' and pulled me out. I felt the warmth of His hand on the back of my neck and wept like a baby for hours, letting go of all the pain, anger, guilt and despair that I had accrued over my lifetime of sin. I am now on the path to becoming a pastor, which is something that I never wanted or ever expected, but it's what the Lord is leading me to do and I've learned never to argue with Him.

[@burdickd2]

The scene at the end of season one, episode one was very powerful. Watching Mary's demons leaving her is AWESOME. However, I suspect we'll see much more. After all, this is The Gospel.

[@wizardnetwork]

I Can hardly wait myself...

[@burdickd2]

@@wizardnetwork I have a feeling that the Holy Spirit will inspire Dallas and his staff. It's going to be great.

[@bennettjudi1]

Love these vignettes explored! Makes them so much more impactful. A dove is a hugely important animal to me that God has used to calm, encourage, heal, give me confirmation, whether I'm off to an important meeting & I'm praying about it & I go to my car & a single dove will be perched on a wire just over my car. Incredible & when I/He found my latest home, I looked out my bedroom window & a dove was sitting in a tree 3 ft from my windown just looking at me. The Holy Spirit is so very real & crucial in my life, so I was hoping it was a dove that gently led Mary away from the clifff. I tear everytime. Hes led me away from many cliffs.🕊🕊🕊🕊

[@raquelacevedo3406]

Very powerful, emotional 😭 and glorious scene moment when watching Jesus showering Mary of Magdala with his great compassion, mercy and love 💗, delivering her from the demons that possessed her and kept her enslaved. To finally be free from all the hurts and brokenness of her past. Wow all I can say is HALLELUJAH to His divine redeeming grace!

[@jonathancarlson6150]

Dang i'm just watching the director analyze the scene and it brings me to tears. Good job.

[@dianeb95]

Love, love love this scene! Brings back memories of my own surrender when I first truly realized He called my name & led me out of a bad situation. But now my tears are joyful ones! Thank you & your team for the magnificent work you are doing to bring the Gospel alive! God bless you all!

[@agnesr.4664]

Yes, so beautiful, right?! I remember my own salvation years ago as well. It was as if time stopped, as if it only was Jesus and me and not 400 people watching me screaming for him to help me and save me. And I remember also the feeling of being born again. Nothing like this on earth. Nothing like meeting Jesus for the first time and being changed for eternity. 😭❤️ Thank you all for doing this. This is a very real depiction of how Jesus does it. I love it so much!

[@colleenfisher9970]

Dallas Colleen Corvallis Oregon I want to say Thank you for such a wonderful and blessed opening to the series. Yes Liz is the perfect Mary of Magdala and Jonatha as Jesus. I was so moved and emotionally healed by this scene. I cry every time I watch it, and this series is the best Christian series I have ever seen in my life. I tell everybody I know about it. I tell them they dont have to believe, just watch the first epsiode and then tell me what you think people.....

[@rees9471]

Hi, The Chosen Team! EP8 “Invitations” and Nicodemus’ meet up with Jesus and the other disciples was so impactful to me. The way Nicodemus reacted and how Jesus looked in response ripped me up inside. All I can say without spoiling it for others is that the love of the Savior and the longing He has for us amazing. He really invites us and leaves the door open for “...whosoever will...”. Father, I pray in Christ Jesus name for all those that come across this page, The Chosen app, any of Dallas’ vlogs, actor interviews or behind the scenes work, that the palpable presence and blessing of Holy Spirit be evident, touching the “inner man”. I pray that Jesus be lifted up at all times; that You would draw all men; that we would be strong and courageous to fish so that ‘[you can] sort them out later’. Many of us love this show. Help us honor Your gospel and support for Your Kingdom’s sake. You are so worthy of all glory, honor and praise. Amen.

[@amandanordin7228]

WOW!! THIS SCENE IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL THINGS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!! IT HAS GIVEN ME MORE REVELATYON INTO WHO JESUS REALLY ARE!!

[@OrionsRoseNC]

Your films are beautiful, holy, timely, and true. God bless you for these shows. I am telling everyone I know about them.

[@johnallred3127]

Dallas. WOW!. Keep it up. Your VLOGS are as good as an entire episode. I feel the Spirit every time I watch an episode (I've watched each episode several times -- which is not a typical thing for me). I'm glad this series brings me back again and again. I love Jesus Christ even more when watching him 'in action'. Thanks. PS. A friend of mine gave me $20 bucks after watching an episode and asked me to donate it to this program. I'll figure out how to do just that. I'm an investor and feel it the best investment ever made, even if no financial return plays out. You are making the world a better place and inviting the Spirit to touch and encourage us to do the same. !!!

[@TheOrbitofMattandDan]

john allred I will agree that after seeing the episode, the vlog is as impactful. It adds to the depth of emotion. I felt the same way! You ca donate that $20 through Pay It Forward on the app

[@marymessano3974]

This really captures the thought that people can really change. From their past life to their present!

[@ezra10-4]

This was a great episode! Honestly, Matthew is one of my top favorites in any scene he is in. So much authentic talent.

[@gbrees1954]

I love hearing these details for I am a detail person. I think the round table discussions incredibly helpful for both Believers and the lost. I tell people about The Chosen often and just lent my DVDs to my dental hygienist who has no home internet service. I can’t wait for Season 3 and am giving an extra donation after hearing your recent post about longer episodes. I am praying the COVID-19 requirements that increased your financial expenses will be lifted soon. We pray for the team. Thank you for this wonderful depiction of Christ’s impact on those around Him.

[@MrBoston63]

This scene is the most emotionally impactful of all the episodes for me. I have watched it many many many times and stream tears every time. Sometimes there are no words to express my gratitude and the ways this scene touch’s me.

[@ondinaskye7773]

As a daughter of God who was a survivor of trauma, addict to self harm and high depression in my life, this THIS SCENE was EVERYTHING to me. I CRIED MY EYES OUT!

[@gloriasanchez4352]

That’s an excellent way of deliverance in her. Doesn’t have to be all emotional even though it does happen, to God’s glory I’ve seen it in my beginning walk with Jesus!🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️

[@moniqueduplessis1467]

Best show ever!!! Best depiction of Jesus ever. My heart has been deeply moved and stirred. Thank you for this story. ❤

[@redpilledtrooper7523]

Hi Dallas. Would love to have the scene with Thomas and the wine at the wedding extracted. I was very intrigued when Jesus told him that by following him, he would show him a new way of measuring time. It gets me every time. The way he speaks. Its like he is the word of god made flesh. Everything he says in those moments is a commandment. Like an everlasting promise. Its beautiful

[@wizardnetwork]

YES!!!! I noticed that line too!!! It stops me every time when he says that.. so many amazing easter eggs it seems...

[@OctMEAG]

I have had a moment like that with Jesus. The love and forgiveness are overwhelming.

[@Kb14322]

Bro eagerly waiting for your next projects

[@wizardnetwork]

If the Lord is willing, I hope this Project doesn't end for 7 or 8 or MORE Seasons..

[@Kb14322]

Matthew Romero yeah

[@powder9605]

I am on a computer and to me the lighting was realistic to where they were back in that day. It was perfect! I have to say the man you chose to be Jesus is a great choice also. Thank you Dallas and all involved! God bless each of you.

[@user-tc3dr2mg8r]

BEAUTIFUL Scene!! Excellent actors!! Tears every time I watch it! Very Powerful!

[@StompMom5]

That scene, I have watched at least a hundred times. I was abused my whole life and the pain and grief have more often been been unbearable and overwhelming. I would give ANYTHING to have Christ heal me. I actually know it's possible too, I just don't yet know how. If I could go back in time to anyplace I'd be next to Mary watching the healing and praying for my own. Thank you Dallas for making such a moving scene. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mitchmiller7204]

@carinajohnson2565. Here is a principle to remember. HEALING TAKES PLACE IN THE PRESENCE OF JESUS (normally). When you have a painful memory or emotion, ask the Lord Jesus to enter it. If you have painful dreams or nightmares, ask the Lord Jesus before you go to sleep to make Himself at home in your dreams.

[@EruEdnew]

Jesus heal the leper and Jesus meet the Samaritan woman. Thank you for putting so much effort on this Mr. Jenkins. You and everyone in the chosen both behind and in front of the camera you guys are a blessings

[@MsKelly1221]

Perfect! Well done! Thank you for letting us in on the production of the scenes we love so much. Thank you for letting us experience how dear these moments are to you. I trust you are the man for the job. I trust your judgement and I trust the series. I haven't watched that scene quite as much as you but I cry each and every time. Each shot takes my breath away. It is very powerful.

[@sylviedcruz2464]

It's very touching to see Jesus when He calls out to Mary

[@shannonirvine3187]

Thank you for spreading the Gospel with todays' most favorite pastime!! God Bless you all!

[@eternalriver7866]

The ending rocked me to my core. I was about to leave God & thought we had enough of each other. I decided to take 1 last stand, do a 21 day Daniel fast and quit the alcohol every night. I left 3 windows on my phone open during my fast. 1 for the book of Psalms, the 4 gospels, and the other for the book of Isaiah to read everyday and seek Gods face during the fast. On day 8&9 I started getting short clips of season 2 & decided not to watch any spoilers but to start the series the following day. The next day, I “happened” to be at Isaiah 43 and read “But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine”. I took a snapshot of it and wrote down in my fasting journal that I finally feel forgiven after all this time. I hadn’t read the bible in a while and didn’t know this was a scripture. The same evening I decide to check out this show The Chosen. Jesus puts his hand on her alcohol and says ‘this is not for you’. Shot me right up eyes wide open. Then he starts following her and the bell rang, and quoting the same scripture I snapshot just hours earlier that day. It felt so personal it brought me right to my knees. I locked myself in the room crying watching it over and over in awe that God confirmed His Word to me like that.

[@kjjones8627]

Truly a great and powerful scene, emotional EACH AND EVERY TIME. I have watched so many times. So encouraging

[@flowerlily1]

All I can say is GENIUS! One can see that you and everyone that works with you in this project are being guided by a higher power. You make God’s presence and message so tangible in this show. I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart for this gift. I will pray for everyone involved in this amazing project so that God is always present and guiding you. I pray that this message reaches everyone, especially those that do not know our Lord and savior, our merciful and loving God. Those that, for whatever reason, have drifted away from him. Those that (like me) sometimes take him for granted. Thank you for showing me this. God bless this project always. ❤

[@barbaranofziger7860]

I watch this scene almost every night before I go to bed. I was once a "Mary" and now I've traveled with Him for almost 50 years. This scene makes me cry every time! Thank you Dallas (and Jonathan and Liz) for your beautiful work! What a great, great blessing you are to the Body of Christ!
