I just....love the idea of Peter walking on water being about grief and faith. It's such a beautiful take.
Because when you experience grief you are yelling about how much faith you have, screaming with rage about it because how could this happen when you have been so faithful?
And then you see the darkness and the sadness and the pain, just like how Peter saw the waves and the wind, and you cry out for the Lord because you're scared he's not there
Andd just when you think you're going to drown, He is there and has been all along and you never want to let go.

i love this scene from season 1 of the Chosen. Matthew knows he’s just witnessed something, seen Someone, but he doesn’t really get it yet. he just has this feeling...
“Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.” -Psalm 9:10

Gaius: Are You a father?
Jesus: In a manner of speaking...
Andrew [poking his head in]: Rabbi, I'm just going to pop down to market.
Jesus: Thank you Andrew. Bring your cloak, it's cold out. Maybe take someone with you just to be safe. And please be back by nightfall.

ok ok ok like i thought “the chosen” would suck cause “blah another series about the life and times of jesus” like we GET it it’s been around for CENTURIES you guys make the same damn movie all the time
but it’s actually legit really good? lots of pretty good representation! not everyone in the movie is white. actual portrayals of jewish culture instead of just ignoring that part. disabled people. matthew being autistic. characters that aren’t just two dimensional. the people in it feel like real people. there’s actual jokes, jesus cracks a few and they’re really funny?? so far nothing hateful, no gay or transgender bashing. it calls out the church for being judgemental and hateful in a way that’s very tasteful
it’s not perfect tho. jesus is…still white for some reason? despite mary not being white? and no one else around him being white? no gay people in it which is kind of a bad and a good thing…but it’s a portrayal of jesus and the people around him as human. as real life people who felt things and made jokes and rolled their eyes and stuff. also the guy they cast as jesus is pretty hot as are all the disciples. which isn’t the point or whatever but i can’t say i’m complaining. it’s free online and i think it’s worth a watch!
