If you’ve watched The Chosen series at all you know season 2 ended with Jesus about to give the greatest sermon of all time. Of course Dallas Jenkins has to take some artistic liberty in creating the series. Some of the dialogue and scenes are “writer’s imagination”, he doesn’t have a first hand account, except from scripture in the Gospels.
Some scenes kind of make you think. I’m sure that was what Dallas (as we’ve all come to affectionately know him) intended. Take John the Baptist for example. Am I the only one who had this image in my mind of someone built more like Tom Selleck? Instead we got someone built like Urkel! Then there’s the Sermon on the Mount. Did the disciples really build a stage complete with curtains? Did Jesus really pre write the sermon and struggle putting it all in order? Well, why not?
Rereading this portion of the Sermon on the Mount this morning I had a truth reaffirmed. “bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you”. Thanks Jesus, I needed that reminder.
Matthew 5:43-46a “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?”
