THE CHOSEN SEASON 3 EPISODE 3 - LIVE REACTION

[@mamalou1962]

It had to be this way because without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin. Hebrews 9:22

[@j.wesleyprice6620]

Yes. And it is not that the one whose debt is paid learns nothing, since Jesus commands and requires repentance and true loyalty. The one who has learned nothing from His self-sacrificial love will in the end not share in it.

[@hannahlampkins2343]

Knowing that Jesus was human and had normal relationships and normal playful conversations is so comforting. Also knowing Mary grieved her husband and her son is also comforting in a way. It shows everyone experienced loss even the mother of Jesus. Jesus did to also with losing his father.

[@brendaglanzman2066]

He had to suffer because he was literally taking on all of our sins. It was by our sins that he had to carry that he suffered. He was the last sacrifice.

[@ashleytaugenga9601]

He was to die to lift the curse, made against humans in the garden of Eden when, human broke the Law of God

[@summerrose8110]

​@@ashleytaugenga9601And rise from the dead.

[@noradorsey6901]

I think the guy who played the Rabbi did an excellent job. You hear in his voice and see on his face a real struggle. One of shock, anger, sorrow, pleading, unbelief, and fear. He is about to have someone he watched grow up and taught - killed. The actor made this Rabbi a bit more of a complicated person than what he started out to be at the beginning of this episode. Kudos to him.

[@lalbertoch]

I thought exactly the same. He shows the conflict inside his heart

[@ruthryser7777]

Leonardo, you say there were other ways he could save us. But there literally wasn't any other way, or he would have done it another way. The only way He could save us from the consequences of our sin, was to suffer Himself instead of us. There was no other way.

[@priscillajimenez27]

You're SO right about Christian media being cheesy. But The Chosen is another world. SO GOOD!

I was more moved by that scene when Jesus and Mary exchanged those looks than I could have ever imagined... I absolutely LOVED this episode. The BEST Christmas gift we could have asked for in 2022!

[@rhodaevans7618]

I love how Jesus whispered to Lazarus and then the look that he understood. Then he rushed to be with Mary. The love Jesus showed his mother. God yet man. He cares about what his mother is experiencing.

[@jzarbaugh]

There was tremendous pride in being a child of Abraham. Not much went right for the Jewish people. They were under Roman occupation and they held on to the pride that they were the chosen people of God. One day God would rescue them and show the world that they were His- they were special. At tough times like this, it was all they had to hold onto. When Jesus told them their nationality wasn’t enough- wasn’t what saved them- it was more than they could take. It diminished everything they thought was special. Israel was chosen to bless be the voice and testimony of God to the nations. Their calling came with a tremendous responsibility. Instead, they took it as a point of pride and privilege. Jesus was finally shining a light on their misunderstanding and showed them the truth.

[@ntokolauraineetonedione4113]

What a prayer.The Messiah is standing there and he praying for his coming

[@judychristopher4735]

And some how, after falling asleep watching, I woke up to your KZbin channel. You were on with your take on it.

[@markwhitelaw278]

Great to bring up questions like why Jesus had to suffer. Helps us think through our beliefs. One thing is that by suffering, dying and rising again, Jesus reversed the curse of sin. The curse being that we die (physically and spiritually). It's incredible the things Jesus reversed. Think about how Adam and Eve walked away clothed by God but they had to leave because of their sin... Because of Jesus we are clothed in his righteousness and do not have to walk away because of what Christ has done. Redeemed and adopted. Beautiful. Hope that adds to the discussion.

[@nataliebloxom299]

She knows what’s going to happen, she knows God is faithful, but she also knows what he’s going to go through and there is nothing she can do but stand there. She totally knows God would only do what it would take, think on what she went through!

[@sandral.414]

This is true. When Adam and Eve sinned, God killed an animal and shed its blood when He made clothes for then from its skin. Before Jesus, blood was always shed to cover and forgive sins.

[@royaldiadem324]

Just thinking how many times in the Old Testament GOD was rejected by His own chosen people, and even cheated by them bowing down to idols , so this episode made me think of just how grieving this may felt to Jesus who is God in the flesh. God is long suffering for the sake of saving His sheeps! His LOVE ENDURES FOREVER GLORY TO His name

[@blairstarwalt812]

I think one reason Jesus had to suffer was because God wanted to show us the depth of his love, how much was paid on our behalf, and what our sin actually costs. If God just gave a blanket pardon of sin with no sacrifice, then we would grow to take it for granted. The true measure of Sin would be diluted and we as selfish people would grow content with sin knowing that forgiveness is just freely dispersed. Knowing what was paid and what I truly owe brings perspective. That perspective orients thought and behavior.

[@ellesartelcontar153]

Just before the Jesus arrest from the mob, Jesus prayed and from huge anxiety, he sweat blood. Such was the trouble and illness he felt before his time came up. Its just amazing and whenever I think about it, it just makes me feel like a completely ignorant person when I cannot even face little sins or temptations and say no to them.

[@judychristopher4735]

I've seen the chosen before the COVID pandemic and started to view it, actions binge-watching it for the last two weekends.

[@johnmoesche4759]

When l read Isaiah, I would, even when meditating, go “Yeah, yeah, yeah”, and move on. However, the Chosen team has brought out the reading of the scrolls, into a major event. Amazing.

[@noradorsey6901]

Noticed Jesus whispered to Lazarus, calming Laz down abit ..then when Mary was about to lose it, Lazarus whispered to her and she calmed a speck...🤔

[@cassty2950]

Regarding old Christian shows: they lost saltiness in their salt. But Passion of Christ movie touched my spirit deep. I wept

[@truffles1111]

I love you, Leonardo! In the early days, I would watch your music videos and cry and pray that God would capture your heart. And HE DID! It was so wonderful to watch your faith unfold! As you watch The Chosen, I love hearing your fresh, innocent perception of the events of scripture. Now, as a Bible teacher, some of the time I will be saying, "NO!!! You're missing the point!!" as I hear your commentary, but then I laugh and know that God is faithful to complete what he begins. Thank you for pressing on through to seek truth and God's plan for your life. I'm really proud of you!

[@terrikennedy5038]

Same!

[@lampsaltlight]

Thank you Leo🙏 ❤. As far as I’m concerned, you catch many things that i actually do not catch even though I was a church kid and a Bible nerd 😌. You have a very great insight and a wonderful sense of art. Your input is so appreciated.

[@JanaAnna-nb7eb]

He died because he loves us and to show how big that love is. A good friend , a good shepherd will lay down his life for his sheep. Because he did that our love for him is different than without this suffering, which he did freely for us

[@ladymarie8512]

It's in old testament scripture that if someone claims to speak words that God has not commanded him to speak, they'd be known as a false prophet and the punishment is death. And scripture says a profit is never recognized in his own Hometown. Because yes as you and others were commenting they look at him as someone that they know and someone that was nothing special and so its easier for a stranger to believe in him then people that have known him his whole life.

[@jorinebustraan9659]

Yes, punishment for this was death. But there should have been a meeting first (at least in the days of Jesus, according to the Pharasaic law) In this case they let their emotions take over and acted out of human motives, far more than of zeal for the Law. Legalistic, you might say. And actually, while under Roman occupation, they were not allowed to carry out any death sentence (which is also why they had to go before Pilate eventually)

[@kristinerobb5109]

So I am new at diving into this but if someone claimed God to command someone to speak...how do others know if it really happened or not? God would only speak to that 1 person so how are they to decipher if it's real or not?

[@nutjobification]

​@kristinerobb5109 thats why the rabbi asked if he was a prophet speaking on behalf of god, or the messiah (or basically god himself)

[@nancyrentas443]

I just wanted to say watching your reactions was so beautiful

[@ripley275]

God is Holy and sin demands a perfect unblemished sacrifice, thats why the Lamb without spot was always sought in the Old Testament....it was a foreshadow of Christ, the Ultimate and Perfect sacrifice. He shows us He Loved us soooo much that He laid down His life for His friends.

[@dustindenton8152]

If you noticed how intensely and deeply he perfected his speech’s and delivery so Imo he thoroughly thought as he meditated basically on his decisions so him saying my time is near there was no other way an Jesus realized as he went

[@AvatarKuruk]

I always read the Bible and when Jesus made these assertive statements about being the messiah . I always saw them being dope thug moments in my head . They did it justice . “ I am the law of Moses “ 47:53

[@MrDavenez]

So sad that the people that love him the most did not believe him 😪💔😭 Completely breaks my heart for Jesus, I love him so much, I couldn't imagine being a human on this earth but also being the son of God. Imagine knowing Jesus in real life on this earth ❤ It's so amazing watching this play out, Thank God for people like Jonathan and Dallas and for all the people playing the parts they are playing because it brings it to life, and helps you feel so close to God ❤

[@joanmbateta8059]

Hahaha the way he looked up in the sky while walking away.

I don't think she knew at that time that he was going to rise again. I think all she knew was that his time had come to die. That is my thinking at least.

At 10:17 Jesus's brothers did not believe in him until after the resurrection. They thought he was a false prophet or just plain crazy. However after the resurrection not only did they believe but they became leaders of the church in Jerusalem.

[@samoa7431]

God sent His only begotten son purely out of His love for His creation. Because in the event of the fall of man, we committed, and continue to commit through sin, offenses against an infinite being, which is our Heavenly Father. We who are finite, could never produce any solution, appease, or remedy an offense against an infinite being. So God sent His Son, who willingly humbled Himself and willingly gave His life as an infinite sacrifice for our sake. In Christ's becoming human, we have been elevated to be more than just God's creation, but to now be the children of God through adoption. In His coming, Christ had not only mended man's wounded relationship with God, but He also, in love, invited us to be a part of His family.

He came to earth just to die for our sins and save us from a predetermined afterlife of misery and going to hell. Quite a heavy thought that he loved us so much that he became a simple mortal for us knowing all he had to do was speak a word and everything would be exactly what and how he said for it to be. I couldn't even imagine how or what he felt or how the Father felt knowing and seeing all of this unfold.

[@joelmax2603]

My favorite episode so far!

[@ms7953]

Leonardo- Sorry I couldn't catch the livestream. I have a couple thoughts about the question of Jesus having brothers and sisters. There is the scripture that says at one point Jesus' brothers, sisters, mother went to "talk"/do an intervention with Jesus because they thought He had/was going mad (psychiatrically.) Someone told Jesus they were outside waiting to see Him, to which He responded with the verse rhetorically asking "Who is my mother? Brothers?" etc. Then saying that the ones who do His will are His true family. Others here have also have noted two brothers came to belief and actually wrote 2 of the letters (James and Jude) in the New Testament. I think most all Bible scholars agree there were brothers and sisters, the debate comes in how He got them. For Protestants, they believe that the verse that says Joseph "kept her (Mary) a virgin until after Jesus' birth" (did not have sexual relations with her) indicates things changed after His birth, and there is no reason to believe that Joseph and Mary did not have a normal marital relationship that produced other children. The Roman Catholic Church (possibly equivocating sexual activity with impurity) has historically maintained that Mary remained a virgin her entire life-that she was a pure vessel/person qualifying her to carry the Savior, and never was "fallen" or became impure in any fashion including sexual activity, which qualifies her to now also reside in heaven as an intercessor, and hence her title " the Virgin Mary." It is offered that the brothers and sisters were Joseph's children from an earlier marriage, and Mary was in essence a step-mother. Protestants counter that Jesus, Paul, Peter all maintained that " ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" and that " there " is one Mediator between God and man-the Lord Jesus Christ." P.S. Thanks for doing this series. I can only watch the show on You Tube on my phone, so miss much of the cinematography and sound because I also have some hearing loss and vision changes. Seeing and hearing it on your channel helps so much. Thanks for leaving the closed captioning on also! And one of the best reasons watching it here? Being with other people to watch it! Thanks, again!!!

When a woman carries her baby for 9 months they are apart of each other. A mother cares for her baby before he takes its first breath. A true mother is never ready to see her child hurt or to die. Apart of her is gone to any mother who loses a child. But just think, as a mother to know his life and to know what is exspected of him. God knows our pain here. And if we go to him and rely on him to help us. The more he pours out his Love on us.

At 12 years of age He confounded the Wise.

[@rolien.1]

I’m not saying it’s because of this, it’s just a thought but He probably had to suffer because there is no greater love than one dying in the place of another. And that is what every Good thing is founded on, God’s love. I think before everything else God wanted us to see and realize that He truly does love us in the most intimate, painful and beautiful way. Because of Jesus we can truly understand the concept behind “Love is Sacrifice”. “ There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Which Mary are you referring to? Virgin Mary, or Mary of Bethany? Because Mary of Bethany knew that Jesus is God that's why she embalmed him by pouring an alabaster box of perfume on him and washed Jesus' feet with her tears and hair. If you're referring to Virgin Mary, she was grieving, but she knew Jesus will rise back from the dead. Of course it was hard on her.

She is a MOM! She is a human mom! It is good that she FEELS, and that she can hold both love and horror. And YES! He would surely be put to death today! All you have to do is look at the violence of fear on the planet. Even the simplest thing....like what would he wear? As he appears here?? No one would listen to him except for the poor, the Native Americans, the Hindu in the streets. He would have to join the homeless in LA, San Francisco and we can see how they are treated. Would he put on a business suit and create a podcast? He'd give it for free and few would be interested, But most equating money with truth. What age would he come back as? Would he have long hair, short hair, or one of those new buzz Mohawks...all would be judged. There isn't anyway He can come back, that He won't be judge. Therefore He has to arise in us as the Second Coming. We have to be the Love that HE IS.

11:18 - there are two people Jude and James who wrote some books in the New testament that say that they are the brothers of Jesus. Now brother in Jewish could have been our brother to brother relationship or brother to cousin relationship. Protestant's usually go with brother to brother, Catholics believing in the perpetual virginity of Mary believe that they were cousins yet all who were related closely were called brother or sisters in Jewish time. Honestly we do not know and in the After party on the chosen app Dallas went into detail that he acknowledges them as being around but he does not or will not go into detail if its brother or cousin. All we know is at this time they did not believe, but later did. hope this helps.
