The Chosen Season 5 Sneak Peek: Jesus Wants Judas' Heart

[@SPOCK_TALK]

Have you ever loved a friend but knew in your heart that they were lost? This must have been what Jesus felt about Judas. Horrible despair.

[@lovenxjae]

Yes, those friendships are hard 🥺 I’ve dealt with one

[@ShannaM1]

Dealing with one like that right now. Please pray for her. 🙏

[@daahsri]

Jesus was wrong tho, just causes Judas had a role to play doesn’t mean it was ok to manipulate him and destroy his faith.

[@lechatbotte.]

God feels that way about all of us, it’s how he faced the cross his love for us drove him. He had anguish for us. He knew many would reject him but that didn’t stop him from pursuing us.

[@cmamabuhs1]

NEVER EVER believe ANY is lost as long as they are alive!!! Many appear loss through no fault of their own, and therefore will enter heaven ahead of those who appear righteous because their pride will keep them out. NEVER STOP praying and believing in those who are lost.

That’s true there is are so many ways to betray Jesus that we might be doing in our daily lives that we only see the effects after it’s all over.

[@Spikejou]

@@mardrettekemp7182 He said Judas, not Jesus.

[@edgarocampopazmino6537]

That's the whole point of his Descention. To reveal God within the human experience. The Son of Man revealed the Son Of God, the word made flesh, to us all as he lived through all of human creation. Jesus hungered, fell tired, felt deeply, wept, angered, fell conflicted with his vanity, argued with his mother and siblings, he was fully human although his spirit, like ours, was devine, his was was spiritually experienced from high above. What I mean is that we do not have to follow everything Jesus did. His message was simply by faith, living and acting with God, will you recognise the God as the spiritual father of all, sinner and saint. Jesus forgave Judas, and the high priest from the heart of his soul, because the human heart without the spirit of God cannot forgive. The human heart without the guidance of the spirit is wicked, it's vain. And Judas could not get past his vanity. It is most tragic that this world, and this people were offered to be the spiritual leaders yet their vanity and fear declined the Son Of Man, the revelation of the word made flesh to reveal God as the Father of ALL nations, not just one "chosen" tribe. And that is the problem of institutionalisation, you can experience the world beyond the windows and boxes you create yourself. And that's what the human heart does, builds walls of comfort but also out of fear. It's most unfortunate that the title is called the chosen because God has already chosen us all, sinner and saint. There is no chosen people. The fact remains have we, as individuals chosen God as he has chosen us? That's is OUR journey, that is our descision. And we can believe scripture, pray and follow rituals but that's not the same as faith. Faith requires you to go beyond those walls of prayer, scripture and rituals. It requires you to go to the Romans, Samaritans, Gentle and sinners as well as those with in your own. God is loyal to those who's hearts and souls are dominated by mercy, forgiveness and love. Not to those who pray 5 times a day, go confession or observe Shabbat. Faith, to act as if everyone in your community is a child of God, is to recognise God as a spiritual Father of Love and yourself as a child of God. To recognise this is to have faith, to be dominated by love and mercy. You will not fear death, because the Spirit of Truth will let you recognise that there is life after death and it's granted to all. And that's a wild thing to say but it is. God's love is so great even your enemies are granted life after death. What we are not granted is to live forever, for after Heaven we will be asked the ultimate question...Do you want to live forever? If so, then the "price to pay" is to do Gods Will forever. To live through faith forever. And that can be chosen in this mortal life now, or the next in heaven. However, once decided, you are no more. There is no hell, it's of our own imagination and making. Hell is the absence of the light, God's Spirit, and that's possible even in heaven. The fate of the unfaithful is much more worse than eternal damnation, it's spiritual extinction. You will only be but a memory in the minds of those who knew you and the records of heaven. We are not required to live like Jesus did, simply believe AS he did. Living faithfully even when one of his closest closed his heart to the truth, and chose vain imprisonment instead of spiritual liberation. God's love is so great, that eternal torture makes no sense. What father or even parent would rejoice in the pain and suffering of their child? No true father or parent would. Only a father or parent who's heart has been closed of to love due to human vanity and fear would do so. And God's love goes far beyond the human heart. It is because rod God's spirit the human heart can experience such love. And so, we must weep when such tragedies occur, but also rejoice that your loved despite your flaws and shortcomings. Let God's love inspire your heart to break free from the fear and vanity your heart often is consumed with.

[@OompaLoompa74]

@@jkurtz4286 Then why did God allow the Chosen to be released? He may not NEED it, but He certainly can use it. It's an excellent show to represent Christianity to non-believers and believers alike. People are hungry for Christian content.

[@jkurtz4286]

@ To answer the first question “why did God allow…?”, He allows anything to happen because of free will He gave humanity. We have the choice to sin or follow His commandments; the choice to reject Him or truly love Him despite hardships, such as sickness, financial troubles, or death of a loved one. For the second part of God using this show: I disagree with creating conversations that Jesus never had, especially when the actor is showing torment over Judas’s heart and crying about it. That implies weakness or uncertainty of what choice Judas was going to make. My Lord and Savior knew exactly what He came to this earth for, how He was going to die, and who was going to betray Him. This evidence is found in John 13:18, referencing back to David’s prophecy is Psalm 41:9, John 6:64, and John 13:18-30. Also, there’s way too much controversy surrounding this show, crew members being anti-Christianity, inaccuracies, and non-biblical stories. It’s like taking a meal cooked too perfection, but a bunch of byproducts, excessive/unnecessary seasoning, stuff that’s not even considered real food given to you by a chef who is coughing and sneezing everywhere. I wouldn’t eat it. If you don’t believe me, google/youtube this show’s inaccuracies. The list goes on and on. Throughout human history, there have been people who suffered and died for their faith and they weren’t brought to it by seeing a tv show. What I hope a pray is anyone reading this message will fact check this show, open your Bible (not just the ones online), and read for yourself. Get closer to the Lord without it needing entertainment.

[@spooniesarah]

judas was convinced he knew God's plan. He couldn't conceive of any other possibility. So when jesus rejected his advice, he was mystified and crushed-- but never once did he think "oh maybe I'm wrong, and this isn't what God's plan is. Maybe I should ask jesus why he chose me, if not for my advice." That's the point where his arrogance won. When he was getting so many signals that his assessment was incorrect, but refused to see them, and put words into Jesus' mouth and took them as truth.

The heartbreaking part is that Jesus didn't "put up with" Judas, but loved him...but knew he couldn't change what was going to happen. I think he was crying because he saw Judas flailing around at the ledge and desperately wanted to reach out and help him, change things, but all he could do was pray for him, that somehow Judas' cup would pass from him, just as he prayed that his would pass from him in Gethsemane.

But with the help of the Most High, ofcourse everything is possible.🕊️ Then the atmosphere and all of this layered complexity of scripture and Christian tradition woven into it. Beautiful. I am still most thankful this show brought my kids into a personal relationship with their Saviour, their Lord and Best Friend. It truly is the greatest story ever told..so it will always be.🙏🏻 PS..When I first gave my heart to Christ I somehow could 'imagine'(?) the sorrow, pain and hurt of God in scripture..Sometimes it was an ocean of grief and my first bible was filled with teared up pages. If we are made in His image and we can have all kinds of emotions...Imagine the vastness and scale of them coming from the source of all..Don't imagine. But there you go.

This is really good question for most people. Jesus say. And if I don't do whatever big things you're imagined. I should do at this time will you still believe.

[@raulfabian1663]

Wow, i felt the pain Jesus felt, currently my best friend, whom i love like a brother is going through alcoholism, even rejected me praying for him, but i know who was the one rejecting those prayers and i wont stop in Jesus' name.

[@isabelleskiss]

So sad and devastating! Christ is truly the light of the world, whom darkness cannot harm! 💛💛💛

[@sagittoriancreative]

Exactly why you follow your heart, intuition, and not what other people "think" you should do. The voice of God inside you strengthen by obedience, not listening to the world or people. The projection of fear from Judas is seen here. But, with grace, patience and compassion for what Judas believes, Jesus was patient with him, regardless of what he does or eventually do. Love is not judgment but acceptance.

[@terriallen9628]

There is a Judas in all of us , the wanting of things in our life when all Jesus wants is us to love and follow him fully from the heart . Powerful scene. ✝️💜

[@wyfuslayer8230]

The fact that He cries and prays for him even though He KNOWS he will betray Him, is so powerful.

[@kimanibrown9587]

3:22 “You have me.” Was the answer to that statement right there. I am Judas, I was Judas, but now I know that even when I AM nothing, I have him.

[@indianelson4054]

Omgoodness, I felt it when he said, "what am I here for?!!!" Man it's not easy sometimes but so worth it.

[@ShannaM1]

How absolutely heartbreaking that his own disciples not only don't understand him but would betray him, too. Lord, have mercy on us sinners as it is so hard to love our enemies but we must try. 🙏💖✨

[@nicholaswhs0896]

We've all pulled a Judas. We are no better.

[@ShannaM1]

@nicholaswhs0896 certainly when I was younger!

[@konoha92hero]

Love the sound of the coin/sheling drop right after Jesus asks Judas "will you still believe?" Forshadowing!!

[@CajunMamas]

This is so painful but yet so beautiful to watch. I can’t wait for season 5!!!!

[@goflolo]

Wow.. this scene was a final goodbye for both parties having common ground 😢 For Jesus, knowing the inevitable hoping the outcome would change but it won’t. For Judas, refusing to understand he will never get his way according to Jesus’s purpose. And the music score of coins dropping 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 well done Dallas and Chosen team!

[@Goretti8201]

This scene is so expertly done - it touches on the questions and feelings every one of us has at some point in our relationship with Christ. And in the end, Christ says the same thing to us - "will you still follow me?" ❤

[@OptimusNiaa]

Hello person reading this. Just wanted to encourage you to make sure you don't let this show supplant Scripture itself in your heart or mind. It's a thing to watch out for with well-made productions. Have a great day!

[@marccucciardo5955]

You guys nailed it! That 5-minute clip stirred up a mix of emotions I haven't felt in a long time. Luke and Jonathan truly elevated this, along with every other element that makes a series like this thrive.

[@chrispipkins6543]

This show was an absolute blessing to me. I thank God for placing the desire on the directors heart to bring the word to life. Every episode brings tears of joy and I look forward to watching season 5.

[@mikeblast7507]

Perfectly believable and skillful portrayal of Judas. Next to Jesus, perhaps the most interesting character on the show. Narcissistic, self absorbed, and selfish, he can't comprehend the biblical admonition that "My thoughts are not your thoughts, my ways aren't your ways." The venom absolutely drips from him when he talks with disgust about Jesus' response regarding taxes. His hate for the Romans trumps all, making it impossible for him to grasp that maybe, just maybe, Jesus knows what he's doing. Brilliant.

[@anmgakash]

Isn't that all of us at times? I've had to struggle with the thought that a lot of times, my plans are not His plans at all. Sometimes, whatever I wanted to attain took me years of patience and struggle and that honestly made me frustrated. Sometimes, you never get what you wanted. I've even questioned Him at times out of exhaustion almost in a grudging and daring way, can't lie. Thank God that He opened my eyes when I started falling off in difficult times.

[@kamiarens2506]

It's offense... the enemy gets us through offense so easily!😮 Judas took offense... both in the series.. and we see it in The Word.. it's how the enemy has entrance to lead him to betray his Lord. We must not let offense lead us off track! What a lesson for us all! ❤

[@valeriedean8126]

Offense is the Bait of Satan.😢

[@Platschu]

I like how he put only one hand into his hands like a final goodbye handshake. Nice scene, great acting, well done again Chosen team!

[@Platschu]

@eternalwhispers-gs3em I mean the last physical contact will be his kiss in the garden of Getshemane.

[@sunsetfree5358]

I wondered about that. Was Judas holding out two hands to Jesus, hoping that Jesus would see that Judas was “right”, and gladly (2-handedly) accept his “wise and generous” offer of help at such a critical time?

[@Platschu]

@sunsetfree5358 I believe it was a symbol that Jesus could look into his heart and while he offered him a choice then he also made his unsaid decision easier. Two hands in hands would have meant to accept Judas' opinion like a harmony between friends, while one hand felt like a formal refusa and good bye which was followed by a direct send away order without hugging. Judas immediately understood the body language and stormed out with anger and disappointment like his soul was already tempted by evil and their views of future act won't be on the same side. He could have accepted Jesus' opinion and calm down, but we all know what will happen even if he regrets it later. I like these little signs in the directing.

[@shawnamorales]

I love you Jesus and I will always give you my heart!!!❤❤ forgive us Lord for the times we want our plans to succeed more than your plans for us.

[@alzbetasedova8393]

Oh how much I wish all my intentions were pure, my love for Jesus strong and faithful. Fiat!

[@sandis700]

Can you imagine yelling at Jesus? 😡 IN HIS FACE! Jesus is too pure and good for us, I’m thankful he loves us so much otherwise we’d all see hell

[@tomrapp5120]

Judas stands for rapid results, but Jesus stands for long patience. That's a core of his essence - and our all luck.

[@paulineandfelixtomasino786]

I love this. So human and thank you ALL for making a show that I can binge watch and get asked questions about the SHOW ...may the Lord bless you all ABUNDANTLY

[@SharonBoyle-be5by]

Jesus knew what was coming but yet the betrayal still caused him such suffering. Judas himself and the Judas in our lives are so hard to sympathise with and yet we must 🙏

[@rachelloyal9017]

This is so beautiful I love it. Holy Spirit, help us.

[@annagracevancil262]

This scene breaks my heart 😢 notice how Jesus doesn’t rebuke him. God is always with us no matter what! Even Jesus prayed for him! That is God’s never ending love for us! Praise God!❤❤

[@deb9806]

I pray for him as some saints did. No soul that loved so much can be fully lost.

[@kenshepherd3234]

Conversation I think was a picture of what we all try to do with Jesus, if only He would listen to OUR plan!! But as we all know, it is always about HIS plan for our life!! Jeremiah 29:11

[@aprilballard4798]

I love the subtlety of the music for Judas. The sound of coins. Nice touch.

[@yoasadhityarahardjo]

What amazing actors. Wow. The instant change of look in Judas's eyes, in an instant period of time. wow. just wow

[@annhelenapena5391]

First, what a performance, wowowowow. What a way to make me feel right there, it is truly a painful scene. Lord help me to submit to your Will.

[@mramone5933]

I love the subtle detail of the jingling of the coins in the background (representing the betrayal with 30 pieces of silver) as Judas reveals what is on his heart. A real nice tough.

[@pre3188]

Love the Chosen approach to Jesus and Judas relationship in respect to what we know is the ultimate result. Wow!😢😢

[@lisolis6017]

Such a moving scene. Jesus loves us no matter what. Everytime!

[@plasmatic3223]

I like how the choice of instrument is a bag full of coins being shook in the music, as well as coins being dropped into it. That’s a nice poetic touch preceding what Judas is about to do.

[@j.low-key4834]

once in our lives, we tried to please God in our own ways- but our ways just showed who owns our heart (us). we can only honor Jesus by how He wants us to. For Him. By Him. Through Him.
