The Compelling Jesus

Episode Summary. There seems to be widespread agreement that Jonathan Roumie’s portrayal of Jesus in Dallas Jenkins’, The Chosen, is remarkably well done. As someone has said, “If you’re aiming to make a TV show about the life of Jesus, you better cast the right person for the lead role.” There is something deep, personal, and even perhaps threatening to us in the way Jesus is portrayed by anyone. A wrong portrayal messes with our perception of the one we have devoted our lives to. That is why this 3-week podcast series seeks to shake the dust off any mistaken Sunday-school-ideas we might have about Jesus. It seeks to replace them with the most accurate picture we can from Scripture. We begin with the COMPELLING nature of Jesus’ presence.

For Further Prayerful Thought:

1. As you read about the reactions of the temple guards sent to arrest Jesus, on two different occasions, what words would you use to describe their response to him?
2. What difference does Jesus’ courageous willingness to confront evil make in your relationship with him?
3. What do you think of the statement: Our God is so morally pure that he can even turn his enemies’ evil into good.
