While I love the series, S3 E3 blow me away. The director said now that all the Apostles are together, the show will start getting darker.

Jesus returns to Nazareth while sending the Apostles on their first missionary work, where they feel wholly in adequate to the tasks. Jesus delegated to them power to eject demons and cure people.

Back home, it is certainly implied he told his mother how things are going to unfold. When he read from the book of Isaiah, the wrath of his friends was palpable. They shock and worried look on Mary was powerful. Great acting.

They escorted him to a cliff to impose the death sentence for supposedly blaspheming against the Law of Moses. Not being a Jew, it was not clear to me exactly what he said that got them so rattled up. Can anyone explain it?

To me, it seemed 2 unrelated things infuriated them:
  1. His refusal to perform signs and wonders for his home town people who knew him growing up.
  2. His emphasizing "God's chosen people" does not mean God's grace does not extend to Gentiles
    • The writing was brilliant, extra-Biblical Jesus quoted 2 OT stories where Elijah and Elisha 1st blessed Gentiles.
    • And if "God's chosen people" cannot recognize their need for a Savior, Jesus cannot "my" salvation to you.
    • What do you mean, "my salvation?" Off the cliff you go.
    • More extra-biblical quote. Jesus said to the rabbi in Nazareth, "I am the Law of Moses."
    • At this, the man who Jesus got married in Cana, where water was turned into wine, took the ceremonial robe off of Jesus and intended to act as his executioner.
Powerful stuff. Hope many of you are enjoying the series.

I've enjoyed the first two seasons immensely. I'm just now dipping into Season 3.

Thanks for the reminder!

"Clean" is 2 parter, comprising E 4-5. I cried near the end of Ep 5.

The personality, background and emotion of the scene's are VERY powerful.

It made me understand something about Scripture that always confused me. Why did Christ tell people not to tell of his miracles?

The answer is he did not intend to perform various miracles so soon. His compassion for people's suffering moved him. Yet, there was a time table of critical events that such information spreading too quickly would overcome all that he did intend to accomplish, in its God appointed time. This humanized Christ and I have a better understandind and appreciation for the moral dilemma Christ faced.

Cannot recommend this show enough!!!

It is brilliant....of course there will be some that whine about it if it takes dramatic liberties to get points across....there were those that whined about “ Jesus of Nazareth” years ago....that was another Masterpiece .....Intelligent people will enjoy this series....the others? When you are afflicted with an intelligence that is limited.....you ain’t gonna enjoy or learn from anything anyway.....

His home town people lacked Faith, hence the refusal to perform miracles....no faith? No miracles.....it could have happened anywhere , I believe....

I haven't seen this Program called Chosen. Where can I find it? Thank You

And the first thing that came to mind concerning the quote above is when the Devil brings Jesus to the pinnacle of the temple and tells him to cast himself down.

Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

A few days ago we were called white supremists, more recently domestic t3rr0rists, now we have this new name:
Christian Nationalists.
What they are trying to say is: Get off that high horse of morality your riding on and follow us.
Your faith in God should be enough to save you even if you turn wicked and do abominable things.

And what was Jesus' reply?
Don't tempt God.


It's time.
You could say it is the time of the harvest between the wheat and the tares, or the division of the sheep and the goats.

Separation of Church and State, simply put means:
A government that can not impose it's specific religion on the people.
But if the majority of We the People are Christian and control the government of and by the people, of course we will swing the pendulum in the direction of christian virtues. But at no time is the government allowed to "mandate" a particular viewpoint be adhered to.

Those that escorted Jesus to the cliff, were those who felt their religious authority over the people was being challenged by a new religion.
Jesus' followers today would be considered a Christian Nationist Cult.
There is only one kingdom of God. And God is not the author of chaos. So at some point everyone will have to come under the Authority of His Kingdom or be kicked out.
Will those that oppose christianity argue with God in his own kingdom?

They tried that already and failed. Because Jesus is Always and Forever King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
The angels and the sickles have been unleashed.
The great divide has begun.

Hugs

they wanted to get rid of him because of what he read from Isaiah ........they correctly understood he was applying it to himself.......this was intolerable to them.

Season 3 finale was put online on Tuesday:

They added a segment of bloopers after the end credits, which is fun to watch.
Yes. The 2-part season finale touched on a theme now repeated. The varying faith of the Apostles. First it was Mary, now it was Peter.

In the show, the extra-biblical back story is that Peter's faith was no longer burning hot with his wife miscarrying. The Biblical scene where Jesus walked on water and Peter challenged him to join him IF he was who he said he was reflected Peter's bottoming out of his faith, not an epitome of ultimate faith.

Such story telling makes our own struggle seem more allowable to be discussed without so much shame.

This a GREAT series. I was hesitant because I thought they would take too many liberties but it was all over social media and friends kept recommending. This is the type of show you can watch multiple times and find new things.
Clean is one of my favorites.
