'The Chosen's' Jonathan Roumie: Life is enriched when you have a relationship with the Creator

[@telugoe]

The Chosen literally converted me. From being one of those stubborn, "science based" agnostic, to becoming a curious, non religious person, to fully believing in Jesus Christ. This show is a masterpiece and everyone in the West should watch. Thank you Jonathan and Thank you God.

[@jillybeanphoenix8598]

The Chosen changed my life as well. Brought God back into it. I’m so very grateful. From the science side of it, check out the documentaries and movies based on Lee Strobel‘s life. It’s a pretty cool journey where he uses science to try and disprove the story of Jesus, but of course, the exact opposite happened. 🙏✝️🙏

[@ukrainefighter2456]

Hey telegoe, I know when i first watched it last year.😱my face like whoa!! This show is a RARE gem. Like very different than what Hollywood is doing and other mainstream movies or shows. but yeah the chosen is definitely something. Can’t wait for season 4 though.🤣😵.

I'm also Roman Catholic myself who has somehow for some allowed myself to become an inactive one and Jonathan's personal has reminded me for myself just how much my faith is a Roman Catholic does mean to me and I'm reconnecting with it in my Lord Jesus Christ!

@@kaykartz9167 Yes, I'm familiar, but I don't really know if they can prove it was him. I just think he was known more for having God in him which people can see and looked like every other Hebrew.

[@thesundreamers8423]

I just finished Season 1. I think my wife and I cried at the end of every episode. Of course as a Christian, the portrayal of Jesus life means so much to me, but it's bigger than that. There is so much hatred, sadness, anger, depression and anxiety in the world right now. I am 60 years old, and I never remember it being worse in my lifetime.. It is so easy to get swept up in all the animosity. That has been me. This show re-centered me and restored my desire to be "in" the world but not "of" the world. The peace that has come from that redirection has been a tremendous blessing.

It is crazy how now, when I read my Bible, his face is the one I picture when reading about Jesus! 😅 That has to be an enourmous weight though, knowing that anywhere you go, if you mess up and sin in public, it can be extra scrutinized. 🤔

[@rileydeutsch9418]

He is just the actor of Jesus not the real one we need to be carefull

[@riceracm]

@@rileydeutsch9418 Oh absolutely he is just an actor who _portrays_ Jesus….Here’s my thought process behind my comment: For example, I would never put a Jesus fish on the back of my car; the reason being, eventually, I will probably accidentally cut a person off because I didn’t see them or something (but perhaps they thought I did it on purpose), and then they might see the fish and be like, “man, Christians are rude and inconsiderate,” resulting in a bad witness for God. Now, given that logic, I just think it would be _a lot_ of pressure and scrutiny to be that actor; it’s like _he_ is a walking Jesus fish, and fairly or not, I could see people expecting too much from him…Also, it would be a lot harder for him to have a “grumpy day,” when he knows that wherever he goes, he risks “being a stumbling block” more easily I imagine. Did that make sense? But please know, I _absolutely_ do not assign any kind of divinity to him. I trust only my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! ✝️😊

[@barbaranakelski2277]

Thank you! I'm so glad to know that you don't have to be Catholic with the Hallow app! I've been wanting to try it out but wasn't sure if it was just Catholic beliefs or not.

It’s more catered to Catholics like myself but it’s still a very useful Christian App. I really enjoy listening to mixed Gregorian Chants in the background when I’m listening to the daily Rosary. Fr. Mike has Bible in a year in there and it’s partitioned nicely. You get way more benefits if you pay for it but the free version is still very nice.

So if this show helps to save people by bringing them to the faith, then it is from God. The portrayal is wonderful because it shows an accurate representation of the Lord, full of love, patience, kindness etc. It really touches your heart.
