I didn't realize how harsh I thought the voice of God was until I heard how different it sounded when Jesus spoke to Simon Peter in The Chosen during the walking on water scene. I'd always imagined a sort of annoyed, angry God saying those words but the way Jesus spoke with such compassion and love startled me. Of *course* that's how Jesus would have spoken. Of *course* He still loves us when we lack faith. I've been reading His voice as so harsh because of who *I* am, not because of who *He* is. I'm going to read so much of scripture so differently now.

Moments from "The Chosen" that live rent free in my head:
• Season two: John the Baptist excitingly screaming "yeah!" when Jesus cast a demon from Caleb.
• Season two: "The Son of Man- that's Me, btw."
• Season two: Simon P and Andrew's argument ("My little brother whom I love very much?")
• Season two: Phillip's introduction was the best.
• Season three: BIG AND LITTLE JAMES HUGGED ON THEIR 2 BY 2 MISSION AND BIG JAMES HAD TO PICK LIL' JAMES UP BECAUSE HE'S SO SMALL.
• Season three: Angry Phillip.
• Season three: When the man broke into Andrew's flat. ("Knock next time!")
• Season three: When Simon P told Nathaniel and Z to be quite.
• Season three: The Sons of Thunder being jealous of each other because of Thomas.
• Season two/three: Thomas asked Ramah to marry him???
• Season one: "I'm not exactly jumping of out my sandals because Creepy John pointed at someone!"
• Season one: When Andrew got that huge coat for Jesus ("I think I could fit all of you in here with Me.")
• Season two/three: Jesus telling John (and Little James I'm pretty sure?) that He loved them.
• Seasons two and three: Jesus calling His disciples by their nicknames.
• Season two: Simon P introducing the others to Simon Z ("That's Nathaniel, he says what first comes to his mind, so don't be offended.")
• Season two: The Son's of Thunder and the Son's of Jonah competing to see who goes fishing. (Sore loser Andrew lol)

“A woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. ‘Who touched me?’ Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, ‘Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.’ But Jesus said, ‘Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.’ Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. Then he said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace’.” ― LUKE 8:43-48 NIV

I'm not gonna do a full trailer breakdown like I did for season 2, but allow me to point out one particular thing:
Jesus: I have chosen you twelve as My apostles.
Nathaniel: I don't feel any different.
Jesus: I don't need you to feel anything to do great things.
In an age when we're constantly being bombarded with "follow your heart" and "do what you feel is right" or even in Christian circles that you have to feel a certain way to know you're saved, this is so important.
As Christians we don't rely on feelings to determine our salvation or our decisions. We don't rely on feelings; we rely on Him.

I know it was a serious scene but there was an amazing background energy there when Jesus is just walking across the lake looking exactly as wet as you would expect a person in his position to look.
Like you normally picture him glowing and moving across the surface of the waves in a beautiful Godlike manner but in this depiction it was like “hey guys, just catching up :)”
