I enjoy the show, but I realized there is something you may want to address. Matthias was said to have accompanied Jesus from the time of his baptism through the ascension, and he replaced Judas as an apostle. You might consider somehow writing Matthias into the show to be consistent with the Biblical narrative. God Bless your work and those whom it reaches!

I heard the Joyce Meyer saying, “When you've gone through difficulty and someone needed your help there's a whole new level of understanding and compassion for others, you have what they needed to hear. You can't give to anybody if everything is just theory and never had to put practice. One of the reason God let you go through things is to equip and to qualify you to be in his service.”

This scene is so powerful and personal to me. I have experienced the same thing. I prayed for a woman (workmate) who had been struggling to get pregnant for a decade then God led me to pray for her twice. After a month, she conceived. Then here I am, praying to have a baby for almost 6 years. God used this scene to speak to me. I serve Him not because I need something from Him but because I need Him. I do not see myself living without Jesus, even though it can be tough sometimes, and my faith will be tested. I will not exchange this relationship I have with Jesus for anything.

In many ways, physical conditions can be a prison. The scene where John the Baptist says “this prison means nothing now that He’s here”…. …if only we could all get there. Get to that point in our faith where nothing can imprison us. Where our desires are so plugged into Him, that nothing else matters, and no physical barrier can hold us back. The story line with little James is so inspiring and meaningful. Thank you Jordan for opening up yourself to us with this. I pray God will continue to use you.

[@elsawhiteis4925]

This glimpse really affected me greatly. I’ve basically spent most of my life with some sort of health issue. As a matter fact I was born with spina bifida. I fortunately beat the odds, and even though my parents were told that I would never walk, I did eventually walk. I always tend to be referred to you. Is “that sickly child” even by my own family at times. Some people have felt that I enjoyed the attention gain from my ailments. Which has been far from the truth and I can’t believe that people even some in my family think that. How far from the truth is that? When I met my current husband, five years ago, he asked me a question if I would want to be healed? I told him quite oddly that I didn’t know because I wouldn’t know how to be any other way I’ve been me for now going on 52 years and unfortunately part of me I guess is the fact that I deal with chronic diseases every day of my life, that is chronic diseases don’t defined me, but I can’t deny that they are a part of me. I would be kind of like if somebody told me to suddenly fly that I could jump off a cliff and fly. I would be very hesitant to actually jump off the cliff because it would seems preposterous (and rightly so because of course I’m a human being)that I could in fact fly. I do know, however, that if God ever did chose to heal me, that he would probably provide me with wisdom on how to live, healed physically. But I am, however, satisfied with my relationship with God, and I look at any detriment that I may have as a blessing because I can praise His name! 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻 it’s giving me a perspective that perhaps other people don’t have, and it’s giving me the ability to sympathize and empathize with those around me. And strangely, I am off and thought as on occasion an annoyingly positive person . I think my positivity is a gift from God, and it only stands to affirm my deep faith that God works all things out for good!! 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻

[@cynthiat6505]

This scene was a life changer for me. I’ve been sick since I was an infant and I’m now a pastor and nothing will stop me from telling everyone I meet about Jesus. It doesn’t matter if I’m sick or walk with a cane. God still wants to use me! And we all get new bodies in heaven! Yay!

My mom had severe scoliosis, with an scoliosis shaped curve, It was degenerative, since her youth. Doctors predicted her death from it crushing her organs at the age of 30. She was not supposed to have kids. I was born when she turned 30 and my brother was born when she was 27. As the years progressed , she went from cane, to walker, to manual wheelchair to electric wheelchair to assisted living facility to nursing home. And she just met the Lord March of last year. Throughout my youth, we would beg God to heal her. It shattered my heart watching her pain and suffering over the decades. However, she was a POWERFUL woman of God and little James scene with Jesus , when Jesus tells Him God gets more glory when we still work for Him despite the fact that He has not healed us ,wrecked me. Even though mommy is gone with Him, it makes sense , that scene spoke to my heart and my prayers. GOD ANSWERED, GOD HEALED HER, SHE IS FREE AND this scene with little James made my heart and eyes cry. God bless you and all involved in this show. God loves her and you so much!!

I cried soooo hard during this scene. I've had extreme pain with autoimmune disease for over 20 years. This this past year, I spent 18 hour days in bed under the influence of pain killers. I really related to Little James in this scene because I've been prayed for many times. I tried to have faith. People accused me of no faith. When this scene finished I prayed to The Lord and told Him to use this if the answer for healing was no. I felt peace in the pain. That sounds weird. Anyway, 35 days ago a niece encouraged me to trust God in changing my eating habits. I won't get into that...but it was an answer from God. The pain is gone. My husband of 48 years said he had his 18 year old wife back! I'm not sure this healing would have happened had I not seen myself in Little James and totally surrendered the outcome for the rest of my life completely to Jesus. Thank you Dallas and all the wonderful actors and crew. You are doing God's work.

I actually knew and loved someone like Little James as portrayed in the Chosen. My aunt was severely disabled BUT God gave her the gift of healing. He, through her, performed many miracles. People were healed from cancers, epilepsy and even a raising from the dead - but she remained as she was. I often sought God in prayer, like much of my family, on her behalf. And yes, sometimes in confusion and anger. I couldn't reconcile how He could use her so thoroughly - and use her up - without granting her healing. I remember her saying often, she didn't question God's purpose for her, only trusted and obeyed. She knew that whether He saw fit to heal her on this side of Heaven or the other, He was pleased with her obedience. Finally, He healed her January 17, 2023 - He took her home to be in His rest for eternity. She always said she would dance again. And I firmly believe she is. To God be the glory!

[@fammue]

Wow thank you for sharing this. It was definitely not unbelief that kept your aunt disabled, but something in the spiritual world that we just wouldn't understand! I mean, she had this powerful spiritual gift of healing and witnessed miracles, she sure believed that it would be no problem for God to heal her as well. But now, your aunt went like "Ah, I get it now Jesus, I really understand." - while jumping around completely healed. 😁🙌🙌🙌🙌 We should never forget that all miraculous healings of Jesus were very intentional and had a very specific purpose within his mission. And I believe its the same for not being healed right away. After all, healing is wonderful, but just as with everything else, not the most important. What's important is that we stay faithful to Jesus until the end and finish the race well by doing his will here on earth, despite everything.

I started praying and asking God why I had to struggle with these problems. My answer from Him was, Because the people around you need to learn how to serve others. I learned that this disease wasn't all 'about me' and was happy to bear those difficulties for the two and a half months I struggled with them. And after that I was put on a weekly injection to 'ward off' any further symptoms showing up. After being on that for 25 years my Neurologist told me studies showed that those who had been on it for an extended period and stopped, had no further exacerbations of the disease.

Thank you for the interaction that you and Jonathan had. It was powerful and remains powerful to me. I have a muscular dystrophy as well as my son. I’ve played many occasions to take the disease from my son and place it double on me. I asked God where was his glory with a child that has what we have. But what I could not see was the gift of worship my son has. He plays drums at church and is amazing. I missed God’s plans by focusing on the problem and not what He could do regardless of the problem. Your scene spoke to me personally as I’ve always felt inadequate. I love working with children in teaching to them and working with the worship team in the AV area for the kids worship. I know God has given me this gift of teaching but I never felt like I could be accepted. I’ve cling to Paul’s words of asking for thorn to be removed and it never was.

Little James’ storyline continues to mean so much to me. In the past 14 months I have been the sickest I’ve ever been in my life. I had to leave a job in ministry that I loved because I got too sick to work. I went to several healing services where members of the church prayed for physical healing for those in attendance. Many were physically healed before my eyes. True miracles happened. But not to me. It left me feeling like it was my fault, that I didn’t have enough faith. But Little James has reminded me that that’s not the case. That God has other plans for me that don’t involve my physical healing right now. And that’s ok.

[@contentedspirit9022]

This hits so hard. After years as a critical care RN, I became unable to work after being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and several other issues. I had struggled with scoliosis since childhood and, as an adult active in my church, I had numerous people tell me that I didn't have enough faith, or even had committed some sin I hadn't repented for. Others said I needed to ask God who I hadn't forgiven because I must be harboring resentment in my heart. It hurts more when the people you trust the most and expect to help when you're down are the ones who point fingers, accuse and hurt you the most. This is beautiful and very helpful in understanding that I'm not the bad one and cause of not being healed yet. I have been ready and so wanting it for so long.

God bless and thank you for being brave enough to put yourself out there like that. What a blessing 🤍

Wow. Honestly, I didn't know the limp was real life. I thought it was just part of the character. Hearing your story touches my spirit even more than that scene with Jesus in the Chosen.

The scene with you and "Jesus" was a very impactful. I struggle wondering why I haven't been healed. I have shed many tears over it. But that scene gave me something new to think about.

Mr. Ross, don't you EVER let others determine YOU. That one scene was so impactful for me (60 and feeling like I'm falling apart). I want to be healed and pain-free, but know I am exactly how I am for a reason. The whole cast has been so inspirational. Please don't ever stop because you just don't know who you are actually reaching. May God continue to bless you as you bless others through your "acting" (you're a natural and it isn't acting). Thank you.

[@momatomic]

I hadn't known of Jordan's struggle until now. When I saw that scene with Jesus and Little James, I wept with him. My empathy and compassion overflowed. It was so easy to understand how he felt. I saw Jesus' empathy and His effect on Little James. But to hear how Jordan's real life mirrors the real life Little James, what a miraculous synchronicity! I saw this and the tears flowed. Big hugs to you, Jordan. Thank you for being you.

I cry every time I see this scen. Having CP I can relate to everything he has said. Dallas choosing him for this role is a life changing experience for him & others. He's right, finding acceptance of himself & sharing with others opens doors & heals wounds you don't even know you have, because you've hidden them so long. Thank you for this - it reminds me & inspires me to share "my gift" with others & be proud of who I am just as I am.

As a nurse with chronic pain for 15 years and ministering to the sick, I totally love this add on to scripture in the story. Job was healed when he prayed for his friends. Perhaps when we suffer while ministering to others, we reflect Christ most. "Father forgive them, they do not know what they are doing." To Jordan, yes the church often talks about ministering to emotional, behavioral issues. But physical issues the church shy away from, or has scam artist who say we need seed money to grow your faith to heal you. ( if you hear this run away). Jordan, thanks for your honest sharing, so good.

[@janetketron5712]

This is my all-time favorite scene followed closely by the scene in Clean where the woman was healed by touching Jesus' robe. I suffered with illness for several years, and so the woman's story in the Bible has always resonated with me. I prayed for healing, and it was a long time coming. Her faith was uplifting for me. My healing came in the form of an ostomy, which was NOT my idea of healing. However, it saved my life. This is where the scene with Jesus and Little James' comes to be my favorite scene of the show. This scene was so so so so powerful to me. God uses our weaknesses! He is our strength when we have none! Thank you for this scene. I cried like a baby when I first saw it. I get goose bumps every time I rewatch it. God is so good! All the time! Thank you!

“bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair”. There are aspects of the ADHD mind that is a blessing and not a curse. The parts of it that are curse God can take away from you, the parts that are a blessing, such as the ability to hyperfocus or enjoy many things can be how you give back to God and offer it up to him as an offering. Do with it what you will Lord, beauty from ashes. Satan you have no rights to use this to prevent me from the work of the Lord. I will not accept the lie that I am held back by this from being able to serve the Lord. “ I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.“

After this scene, I felt Jesus talking to me telling me He was using me as a witness in a different way. It helped me so much and I’m sure it did others too.

Ross's healing scene was the greatest of all the healings imo. Nobody seems to talk about that one but it was definitely one of the top moments that proved JR right, it melted my face clean off.

Little James’s condition makes the series feel more homie too, because it’s real. It’s human. What’s more human than struggle? I love that they don’t portray these perfect people with the perfect looks because that’s not whom the disciples were. I love the honesty in the frustration and the anger because it’s human! I have those moments with God myself and my Lord never turns His face from me when I am upset with Him. What Father abandons His kids because they’re angry at them?? None! We have all been frustrated with our parents at some point and God is no different. We just have to look past and through the anger and frustration and remember that He is still God and that no matter what is happening, we are His and He is ours and nothing will separate us from each other ❤

I'm really thankful The Chosen created this scene. While it may not be in the Bible, the understanding of suffering it provides is very Biblical.
