The Greek word for Meek is actually PROAS, a term used to describe a military/war horse that has "strength under control." It's not passive or weakness. It's strength under the control of Holy Spirit, just like Jesus.
πράος or práos translation and wisdom are all good, just that when people look up what you spelled they're gonna find a boat lol. But yes, Jesus was meek. He was strong and he controlled his strength.
The first series of The Chosen made me realise Jesus was more than a collection of some nice stories. It openend my heart from episode 1 with Mary Magdalene. It floored me, I too was her. It showed Jesus was fully human. This was a man I could believe in as the son of God, not just a prophet. I said my “yes” in February 21. Series 2 has taught me such a lot (with your help). Didn’t “hear” the map before or what “be attitudes” meant. The map to find Jesus blew my mind. To see the apostles as real people. I hear their voices now when I hear the gospels. When Simon asks to be washed all over not just his feet, I commented…yep that’s Peter… I still have my questions and difficulties, but I love Christ. I am His. I am loved.
Im honestly not sure theres ANY scene with Jesus that doesnt wet my eyes at least a bit. Even him laughing at jokes brings tears to my eyes because it's so human. I remember back in an early episode of season one. Simon makes a very brief joke about Andrew not having friends as a kid. And Jesus does a typical belly laugh and a little clap at the joke. He was laughing at a joke at somebody else's expense Which doesn't seem godly but it's in a playful way And harms nobody And it really shows his humanity. The moment I think about that a tear comes to my eye. Later on they joke about how bad of a dancer Andrew is and it does the same thing. But nothing......absolutely nothing I have ever watched. Makes me cry the way scenes with Jesus and his mother do in the show. I was a mess after I watched the scene where he walks back to his tent at the end of that long hard day, and he is so tired he can barely stand. When Mary runs to him and takes care of him after they were just in the middle of an argument. And he's joking with her a bit and saying that he's a mess and then hugs her and asks what he would do without her ...... and the way he says "yes I'm so tired" when she tells him to rest, and they end on his prayer of sleep.....seriously😭😭😭
I love your reaction brother, beautiful, Jesus saved me from Human Trafficking, after 8 months i escaped, i hated all of them, for years i was a hard person and Jesus swept me of my feet!
Praise God for your rescue!!! He promised to set the captives free, and that their songs of joy would echo on the mountaintops! I pray we see that day SOON for those kept in bondage and slavery of human trafficking. The Lord bless you and keep you, sister ♥️♥️♥️
One thing that sermon shows us (and the way Dallas portrayed it) is that we really do need a church family to surround us, support us, hold us accountable and to give us a safe space to practice and grow in our faith.
Btw My very favorite scene in the entire Chosen is this Sermon on the Mount speaking the Beatitudes here to Matthew. My favorite! I just want more--now! No passivity here! 🙏💜👍😊 I need to watch it 1000 times. Let it sink in!!! He is talking to us. We must be in those groups. I LOVE THIS BEYOND WORDS. I agree with you Leonardo. This is the best and most amazing. Most awesome. THANK YOU JESUS..
IMO it's pretty incredible symbolically that Peter is the one to properly be introduced to Judas and welcome him. Two sides of a coin in a way. Both Peter and Judas betrayed Jesus, but Peter was the only one that was repentant.
I don't know if we can even judge that. Judas felt so much guilt and shame for what he had done that he gave the money back and hung himself. I think that indicates that he was repentant in his heart. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said that all sin was equal in the eyes of God. Sin is separation from God. Jesus said God forgives all sin if we repent and ask for forgiveness. We have no way of knowing if Judas repented. Jesus asked God to forgive the people who crucified Him, because they did not realize what they were doing.
This episode was Amazing! The concepts taught are all biblical. I'm a student of the Word. God is about simplifing Truth in a complicated world! I really enjoy watching your reaction to the Realness of what it truly means to be a Disciple of Jesus🥰
Initially, that was my reaction as well. But what a blessing it is to be this excited to listen to scripture through this medium! The Chosen has brought revitalization to the excitement I feel when diving into the Word of God. I can’t wait to experience Jesus’s teaching in this new way!
YES! At timestamp 39:35 - the Bible says “Taste and see that the Lord is good!” This is why we overcome the evil one by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony! Because our personal experiences of God’s goodness are what keep us following diligently after Him!!! I love watching your journey, Leo, thank you for being so vulnerable and open about your walk with Him! You are sharing your testimony as you live it, and that is very powerful. The Lord bless you and keep you, brother! 🙌🏼♥️🙏🏼
May sound ridiculous, but I sometimes wonder if I ask too many questions, But We are to come as children. And WOW is He patient, and ONLY GOD ALMIGHTY KNOWS exactly how, or what we are trying to comprehend before we even ask. I've found myself in tears 😢 😭, and He comforts with the simple things again, LOVE GOD, LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Be still, He's on the THRONE, it Will work out. There are days its easier and days well, You cry out for His Mercies and Thank Him for Abounding Grace
I so much enjoy watching alle episodes on your channel - Here in Germany they just started to translate season 2..Thank you very much for every stop, question, remark, silence - many greetings to you and Erika and La Familia 😊
35:00 & 50:00 I had the EXACT SAME REACTION !!! The way Dallas EXPLAINED/INTERPRETED Both the “Saltiness” part And then the “Blessed are you” Introduction/Map part… Truly MIND-BLOWING
You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world... We are the aroma of Christ to God. These are from scripture (Matt. 5 and 2 Cor. 3) and are metaphors for what we are to be as followers of Jesus while we're on this earth. Salty, bright, and smelly, haha. But this show explains the salt metaphor beautifully and I've learned to really appreciate the simplicity of these things. Your reaction to his explanation of salt made me grin. Instant chills, cuz it's amazing that God would let us participate in His work with Him. Such a SWEET thing!!
I love watching your channel and your spirit that comes through your words! May God continue to bless you with wisdom and understanding and ability to love him more!
When we are babies we require milk. When we are grown and mature, we require meat. Don’t remain a babe on milk. Grow to the point where we begin to eat the meat and grow in truth, wisdom, and knowledge.
Wow wow wow. I watched all the episodes in season two with you as the commentor..I appreciated you sharing the pauses n observations on the scenes that spoke to you, also your explanations on the purpose of them. Many of them were similar to the ones I noted as well. Episode 8 really helped me see how Jesus knew the whole picture of Gods plan for his disciples. But He was mindful to gently engraft each one individually into that plan. This episode really spoke to me of the strong connection Jesus had with both the natural world n the spiritual realm at the same time. I senced He was able to do that because of His( divine) relationship with His Father God n then able to inputted into His students in the manner that He did. This is the Jesus I can relate with when I think of Him now. The episode helped me put skin, meat n bones to the one who at times seemed abstract , unapproachable ... This Jesus is believable..pleasant with a sense of humor:)..n still encapsulates His divine wisdom/ nature ..and His chosen ones are beginning to mirror this as well. Beautifully captured on screen and in dialogue 💜🙋♀️
From ep6 Mary running to the beatitudes here... really brought to light my walk, and my step back from faith and that is (from adult age, because my testimony goes further back) but I accepted Jesus, at home, in my loungeroom. I know he sat beside me, I felt Him, I could see Him in my minds eye. All my convictions poured out and in that moment I was forgiven of my past. I then joined a church. I was badly mistreated and I tried to stay and work through it but left. 3 churches later and the same treatment. I walked away from church. Slowly I walked backwards from God. But tonight, even though I've watched these episodes several times, I was finally given the words I needed. Jesus forgave me of my past, but the people around me kept throwing me back to it by their treatment toward me. Pastors, their wives, their inner circle. Months before I found this series, I started my faith climb back with clearer focus. More calm. I get so so much from The Chosen. It was what I needed NOW ❤
There would be no Son without the Father, and no father without a Son,, and the Holy Spirit us a product of that relationship so that we can always have all parts if Him.
I've enjoyed going through y episodes of the Chosen with you. Was late finding you do that's why I'm so late with this. I have joined in a few of your broadcasts on Instagram and you tube. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
wow, that was a subtle thing at the end with Judas. Have watched this episode several times, but this time it struck me that Judas joined the disciples but Jesus had not called him .wow.
@@LeonardoTorresMusic More than 'enjoyed'...it was food for the soul. You are doing this world much good by shining your light upon it. You asked what is Christianity...it's simple, it's twofold. (1.) The most beautiful expression of who Jesus is is found is John 1: 1-5. ( 2.) Jesus As "Salvation". This is where peeps be trippin. Did He really step in for us as a Savior? Does His 'Taking upon Himself the sins of the world' really have meaning? Did He actually feel and embody every hurt, heartache, and evil for all of mankind, from beginning to end? Did His 'flesh' and blood, given freely, make a difference...and how? You can only Know when you Know via the Spirit of God, which is Truth. No building labeled "Church" has all of the answers. And that is well and good. Who can say where God begins and ends? He lives In us, we Are the Church, which is the Body of Christ. We are to embody His love by representing Him to those within our responsibility. Every man and woman that enters our 'homes', every eye that looks back into ours. Light is the visual of Love. The Word is the sound of Love. Love is alive in truth/word and in light/love...where one begins and ends is impossible to divide into parts as it is whole and Holy. Everything is as a circle, no beginning and no end. Consider Genesis 1. In the beginning God spoke into the deep, the Possibility, and said "Let there be Light". This was the Word before the sun and moon were spoken into being. You could say God spoke into the vastness of all possibility; "Let there Be LOVE". This is the whole of the 'Gospel'. The gospel of Jesus the Christ is written within the Four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Ta Da! You're already there Leo. You embody the heart of Christ. That's the full sum of it's parts. Love and then More Love...etc, infinitum.
How did S2 affect me? For the most part, it made me become aware of how selfish I am at times (the ending of ep. 3), and how much I want(ed) to stay in my "comfortable" old ways. When Jesus asks the paralytic at the pool, "Do you want to be healed?" it shocked me that my answer was, "No." Also, the introduction to the beatitudes - oh my! Sooo good. I'll never read them the same way ever again from now on. S1 was mindblowing to me and like many I too picture the actors and hear their voices when reading the bible now. Thank you for the opportunity to rewatch S2 with you guys, and for your beautiful and open reaction to it. Looking forward to getting on the journey with you again in S3. 😉
Hi Leo...I was watching your reaction video on s2e8... you said something that I may have misunderstood.... although this life have great purpose in the service and plan of GOD... there is absolutely nothing that will be more fulfilling than what our loving Father has prepared for His children...I want my life to delight my Father in heaven...but I'm chomping at the bit to go home...eternally.....I have been enjoying your reaction and hope to catch you for season 4..YAHWEH's richest blessing on you.
Where is the Community’s tab? Been so blessed by your insights & want to continue this journey with you Leonardo. And I’m sure you saw the soundtrack is now available in The Chosen gift shoppe. 🙏ing you get to participate in S3🙏
The more you ask God questions, and go deeper into his word God answers. Your prayers and persistent in wanting to know him he lets you see him in his words in the small things . To knowledge his presence that is holy, that is peace and love. That he is everything you need , in the hard moments when only his presence comes through, he gives you rest if you receive him in your heart. To feel his peace after asking for forgiveness, when the tears of repentance are the relief to your soul.His love is the rest my heart has been looking for , I rejoice , I'm grateful for his mercy. I love you Eternal father Jehova, our Lord Jesus Christ and his Holy Spirit ❤️
I am committed although I am very much like Mary who fell and was weak but when I asked Him to forgive me… He did and I have followed Him ever sense!!Halelujah!!!!
The relationships you form can make or break you. You cannot be passive about Jesus, because giving your heart can never be a passive thing. It is a commitment, a covenant, if you will, ..remember as you said once.. the heart is the center of the body and the spirit. I was passive once. .. but Jesus redeemed and saved me from sin, and now my heart, my life, everything I have, everything I am belongs to Him... for always.
I missed live chat. But I watched. Awesome! I like it when we all watch. New insights 😊 Not sure if you went back and listen to the end credits closing music. It's the full Trouble lyrics. I think you will like it. God Bless you😊.
I love this episode and was soo looking forward to watching with you all again . Our Lord is amazing and I am moved at how beautifully they are showing Jesus's humanity and divinity 😇
With the reading back then, I’m not sure how many males could read either, as they did not have books at that point in time (only scrolls). I think paper and such was much more scarce, as they had to make it by hand. Also, if they wanted to have a copy of a “book”, they needed to hand write every single word to get just one copy. They just had a lot less to read back then, so I don’t know how important it was to their daily life to be able to read.
Well, here was my big revelation today: the “blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.” can also mean, “when they use my name to do these things….
I think we all had the same reaction at the end… expecting to hear the whole sermon… But let’s be honest… That would probably be a whole 20mins in & of itself ahahah😅😂🤷♂️
Most of the men couldn't read either. The men only went to Hebrew School where they would memorize the Torah. Of the Apostles probably only Matthew could read and write at the time of this episode as it was a requirement for being a tax collector. Mostly only the rich and Priests could read.
Leonardo & Erika-There is on old song (from the 90's) that began playing in my head as the disciples were being shown with Christ's words and with your commentary after-"How Beautiful" sung by Twila Paris. I think (hope) you will like it. Blessings to you and your family!
The other day I was in live chat with the chosen and Dallas was on talking about what's to come. Anyway I commented that I've learned so much about Jesus and the Bible from watching this show. Way more than I had ever comprehend and learned by going to church or reading the Bible. A lady posted a comment to me. You can learn at home and just keep reading the Bible. You don't need the show for that. I was shocked.
Brother Leonardo, Thank you so much for rereading The Sermon on the Mount!!!!!✝️❤ May The Lord Bless You and Keep You, And May His Light Keep Shining Upon You and your entire family!!!!!✝️❤ I love you so very much, Brother in Christ!!!!✝️❤😘
I'd have to respectfully disagree with the one comment about women in the Bible being treated as property. While it's true that some may have distorted what the Bible taught (the pharisees were proof of that), the Bible teaches this outright beautiful model where the man is the protector and provider of the family while the woman is the nurturer and housemaker (not housekeeper, houseMAKER; that's far more significant). The husband is the father who leads, the wife is the mother who teaches, and the motivation was supposed to be mutual love. The apostles taught that the husband was to lead, to protect and provide. The wife is to submit to her husband's leadership while taking care of the home (not just the house building) and teaching her children. Together, they are supposed to love each other and their family. Man and women aren't equals in the Bible because God created us differently to fulfill different roles that, when combined in love, creates a whole. That's why the Bible says that the man leaves his parents and becomes "one flesh" with his wife. Different gender roles for different purposes, together they fulfill the role of being one. That's the whole reason God created Eve: it wasn't good for man to be alone (God's words, not mine) so He created Eve to be Adam's helper. He created Eve from the rib of Adam because they were to come together and be one whole. It's unfortunate that our modern era has decided to forsake that and create a false and artificial sense of equality when the Bible teaches that the different gender roles between man and woman are beautiful and that they should be safeguarded as the divine design.
@@jakobfel2 I think this is semantics. As a Christian woman, I believe we are equal in the sense that we have complimentary roles, neither more important than the other. Wives being instructed to be submissive to their husbands is within the context of a husband who is fulfilling his role and who is willing to die to protect her.
@@ninstone3457 I see what you're saying but it's more than semantics. It's not equality, it's divine balance. Equality is used by feminists to make everyone think they have a right to do what men do but in reality, the gender roles of men and women are different, designed in divine balance. That's why the first sin was aimed at that balance and it's why feminism has, ever since then, attempted to keep things out of balance because the demons know that God's design leads to stronger families raising children with better values which is a genuine threat to Satan's plans.
We are made equal in God's Eyes, he made a woman knowing than men couldn't be alone. He gave us different roles. Yet he didn't take away the importance of each role, is when men don't know how to be like Jesus , and want that summision with out knowing or understand that it's a blessing when a woman trust them. By equal is that we are all siner no matter if your male or female we are judge the same and love by God the same way, no human being is above the judgement of God.
I am committed and while on the hills top I praise and in the valley I praise. I try to live my life as a testimony. That with all my failures and successes Christ has never left me. His love endures and His blood sanctifies me. So in low valleys He is there to assure me. I don't have to measure myself by other standards. This is peace for me
In today's world there are so many things that are wrong with mainstream christians that turn non believers away from a life with Jesus, I see in your eyes and your heart that you have a thirst for him, I implore you to disregard everything else and seek him for yourself, soon will be the time when he comes back and calls everyone out of all churches to his true church., Bc none have it right . Have faith and God bless you brother.
Thank you for understanding where I am coming from with the "Non-Christian" Title. I appreciate that you took the time to leave such a positive comment. Disregarding everything else is impossible for me. The Non-Christian title has drawn a lot of non-believers and has brought a lot of people closer to God. I have not yet received a single person say that they have turned away from God because of my Channel. It's challenging to disregard everything else when there are hundreds of negative comments about everything I am doing wrong, when all I am doing is spreading the Love of God. It is disconcerting.
@@joshuaprokasy6763 the question was for Leonardo and a legitimate question since I am on the channel. It was not meant to offend although it may have to you. I am not pointing fingers because I'm not the judge although apparently you seem to have the answers. No I did not read your comment but I don't need to. Your aren't who I asked. There is good and bad in everything but don't be fooled or confused because the Bible tells me Jesus is the way the truth and the life and no one gets to the Father but through him. There are many gods people pray to but there is only true living God. My apologies to anyone who misconstrued my question but it was too know Leonardo and this channel better. He definitely seems sincere. Jesus spoke in parables but he was straight forward about who and what He believes.
Brother. Genuinely curious of what’s stopping you from a relationship with the Lord? You def follow and believe in certain things that Christians believe so what is stopping you? Love the work you do brother!
Matthew worked for what the jews considered to be thrir enimy, but I believe his Heart was pure and he just kept still from all the mistreatment he got ,and as He grows He just gets fitmer and stronger
We pray to our Heavenly Father, and Jesus is our advocate with the father. That is why we pray in Jesus's name. The Holy Ghost testifies of God and Christ and teaches us truth. I am all in. I try to be all in my trying to follow Jesus Christ daily and develop the attributes discussed in the sermon on the mount. By grace we are saved but if we love the Lord we keep his commandments.
There are fluctuations in life. Passivity happens, IMHO, when this life’s concerns takes over and sometimes you forget. But then something happens that kind of “snaps you outta” of it and you return with greater devotion
Hey if you havnt watched the reactions to The Chosen by the channel Grafted here on youtube you should! They are Messianic Jewish elders and they explain details of things being said and I found it super informative and think you all would too!
Even the Bible talks about questioning everything in 1st Thessalonians 5:20 - 21 “ Do not despise prophesies. Test all things, hold fast what is good. “
About the order of GOD! “After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed. He said, “Father, the time has come. Bring glory to your Son. Then your Son will bring glory to you. You gave him authority over all people. He gives eternal life to all those you have given him. And what is eternal life? It is knowing you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth. I have finished the work you gave me to do. So now, Father, give glory to me in heaven where your throne is. Give me the glory I had with you before the world began. “I have shown you to the disciples you gave me out of the world. They were yours. You gave them to me. And they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. I gave them the words you gave me. And they accepted them. They knew for certain that I came from you. They believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world. I am praying for those you have given me, because they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. Glory has come to me because of my disciples. I will not remain in the world any longer. But they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe by the power of your name. It is the name you gave me. Keep them safe so they can be one, just as you and I are one. While I was with them, I guarded them. I kept them safe through the name you gave me. None of them has been lost, except the one who was headed for ruin. It happened so that Scripture would come true. “I am coming to you now. But I say these things while I am still in the world. I say them so that those you gave me can have the same joy that I have. I have given them your word. The world has hated them. That’s because they are not part of the world any more than I am. I do not pray that you will take them out of the world. I pray that you will keep them safe from the evil one. They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to it. Use the truth to make them holy. Your word is truth. You sent me into the world. In the same way, I have sent them into the world. I make myself holy for them so that they too can be made holy by the truth. “I do not pray only for them. I pray also for everyone who will believe in me because of their message. Father, I pray they will be one, just as you are in me and I am in you. I want them also to be in us. Then the world will believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory you gave me. I did this so they would be one, just as we are one. I will be in them, just as you are in me. This is so that they may be brought together perfectly as one. Then the world will know that you sent me. It will also show the world that you have loved those you gave me, just as you have loved me. “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am. I want them to see my glory, the glory you have given me. You gave it to me because you loved me before the world was created. “Father, you are holy. The world does not know you, but I know you. Those you have given me know you have sent me. I have shown you to them. And I will continue to show you to them. Then the love you have for me will be in them. I myself will be in them.”” John 17:1-26
"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23 NIV On questioning what you read, watch, hear, see: 1John 4:1-3 NIV "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world."
Homologo is the greek word and it doesn't just mean say or acknowledge. They can say they aknowlage christ came in the flesh and lie I've had voices in my head tell me to skin babies alive and claim they confess christ came in the flesh.
The Greek word for Meek is actually PROAS, a term used to describe a military/war horse that has "strength under control." It's not passive or weakness. It's strength under the control of Holy Spirit, just like Jesus.
πράος
or práos
translation and wisdom are all good, just that when people look up what you spelled they're gonna find a boat lol. But yes, Jesus was meek. He was strong and he controlled his strength.
That’s not what I found when looking up the word; it seems to mean lowly.
Wow thanks for the trivia
🥰😘Perfect! Blessings friend/sister
Beautiful ❤️
The first series of The Chosen made me realise Jesus was more than a collection of some nice stories. It openend my heart from episode 1 with Mary Magdalene. It floored me, I too was her. It showed Jesus was fully human. This was a man I could believe in as the son of God, not just a prophet. I said my “yes” in February 21.
Series 2 has taught me such a lot (with your help). Didn’t “hear” the map before or what “be attitudes” meant. The map to find Jesus blew my mind.
To see the apostles as real people. I hear their voices now when I hear the gospels. When Simon asks to be washed all over not just his feet, I commented…yep that’s Peter…
I still have my questions and difficulties, but I love Christ. I am His. I am loved.
This was so beautiful to read Jacqui! Thank you so much for sharing.
Hallelujah (to God be the glory) brother, much love
Me too, I think all of the disciples accept John were killed for following Jesus, and Judas the betrayer killed himself after he betrayed Jesus.
I love your comment about Peter! They have studied his character from the gospels so well you can SEE him doing all that is described💜
Keep following Jesus no matter what.
Matthews characteristics remind me of my son and what he goes through on a daily basis and just seeing Jesus speak to him, has me crying my eyes out.
Im honestly not sure theres ANY scene with Jesus that doesnt wet my eyes at least a bit. Even him laughing at jokes brings tears to my eyes because it's so human. I remember back in an early episode of season one. Simon makes a very brief joke about Andrew not having friends as a kid. And Jesus does a typical belly laugh and a little clap at the joke. He was laughing at a joke at somebody else's expense Which doesn't seem godly but it's in a playful way And harms nobody And it really shows his humanity. The moment I think about that a tear comes to my eye. Later on they joke about how bad of a dancer Andrew is and it does the same thing.
But nothing......absolutely nothing I have ever watched. Makes me cry the way scenes with Jesus and his mother do in the show. I was a mess after I watched the scene where he walks back to his tent at the end of that long hard day, and he is so tired he can barely stand. When Mary runs to him and takes care of him after they were just in the middle of an argument. And he's joking with her a bit and saying that he's a mess and then hugs her and asks what he would do without her ...... and the way he says "yes I'm so tired" when she tells him to rest, and they end on his prayer of sleep.....seriously😭😭😭
I love your reaction brother, beautiful, Jesus saved me from Human Trafficking, after 8 months i escaped, i hated all of them, for years i was a hard person and Jesus swept me of my feet!
Praise God for your rescue!!! He promised to set the captives free, and that their songs of joy would echo on the mountaintops! I pray we see that day SOON for those kept in bondage and slavery of human trafficking. The Lord bless you and keep you, sister ♥️♥️♥️
One thing that sermon shows us (and the way Dallas portrayed it) is that we really do need a church family to surround us, support us, hold us accountable and to give us a safe space to practice and grow in our faith.
There is a quote that I always liked “The Father does everything in the Son through the Holy Spirit”
3rd time watching that and still cried, when every knee bowed at the end ❤️😭
Me to😂! I don't know how many times I have whatch this I get same reaction😢❤. The word of God is Life and Spirit.
Btw
My very favorite scene in the entire Chosen is this Sermon on the Mount speaking the Beatitudes here to Matthew. My favorite!
I just want more--now! No passivity here! 🙏💜👍😊
I need to watch it 1000 times. Let it sink in!!!
He is talking to us.
We must be in those groups.
I LOVE THIS BEYOND WORDS.
I agree with you Leonardo. This is the best and most amazing. Most awesome.
THANK YOU JESUS..
Thanks for sharing and watching with us!
💜
❤🎄🙏🌏😊!
I have had seasons of passivity but the more I walk with Jesus and know him, the more I’m a passionate follower of him. I’m all in!
Praise God!
Hallelujah❤🎉🎄🙏🌏🎆!
I think I finally understand the sermon on the mount. I did before. But the deeper meaning just came upon me. I love this show.
IMO it's pretty incredible symbolically that Peter is the one to properly be introduced to Judas and welcome him.
Two sides of a coin in a way. Both Peter and Judas betrayed Jesus, but Peter was the only one that was repentant.
I don't know if we can even judge that. Judas felt so much guilt and shame for what he had done that he gave the money back and hung himself. I think that indicates that he was repentant in his heart. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said that all sin was equal in the eyes of God. Sin is separation from God. Jesus said God forgives all sin if we repent and ask for forgiveness. We have no way of knowing if Judas repented. Jesus asked God to forgive the people who crucified Him, because they did not realize what they were doing.
This episode was Amazing! The concepts taught are all biblical. I'm a student of the Word. God is about simplifing Truth in a complicated world! I really enjoy watching your reaction to the Realness of what it truly means to be a Disciple of Jesus🥰
What a cliffhanger right?! I yelled NOOOOO!!!! 😂😂😂
Same!
I was like "No! That's it!?"
Same! I wanted more!
Initially, that was my reaction as well. But what a blessing it is to be this excited to listen to scripture through this medium! The Chosen has brought revitalization to the excitement I feel when diving into the Word of God. I can’t wait to experience Jesus’s teaching in this new way!
YES! At timestamp 39:35 - the Bible says “Taste and see that the Lord is good!” This is why we overcome the evil one by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony! Because our personal experiences of God’s goodness are what keep us following diligently after Him!!! I love watching your journey, Leo, thank you for being so vulnerable and open about your walk with Him! You are sharing your testimony as you live it, and that is very powerful. The Lord bless you and keep you, brother! 🙌🏼♥️🙏🏼
May sound ridiculous, but I sometimes wonder if I ask too many questions, But We are to come as children. And WOW is He patient, and ONLY GOD ALMIGHTY KNOWS exactly how, or what we are trying to comprehend before we even ask. I've found myself in tears 😢 😭, and He comforts with the simple things again, LOVE GOD, LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
Be still, He's on the THRONE, it Will work out. There are days its easier and days well, You cry out for His Mercies and Thank Him for Abounding Grace
Mr Leonardo I greatly appreciate your responses and your delivery of this chosen video
I so much enjoy watching alle episodes on your channel - Here in Germany they just started to translate season 2..Thank you very much for every stop, question, remark, silence - many greetings to you and Erika and La Familia 😊
The Chosen is bringing me to where I should be in my faith and walk!!! Thank you🤗❤️🙏
35:00
&
50:00
I had the EXACT SAME REACTION !!!
The way Dallas EXPLAINED/INTERPRETED
Both the “Saltiness” part
And then the “Blessed are you”
Introduction/Map part…
Truly MIND-BLOWING
You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world... We are the aroma of Christ to God. These are from scripture (Matt. 5 and 2 Cor. 3) and are metaphors for what we are to be as followers of Jesus while we're on this earth. Salty, bright, and smelly, haha. But this show explains the salt metaphor beautifully and I've learned to really appreciate the simplicity of these things. Your reaction to his explanation of salt made me grin. Instant chills, cuz it's amazing that God would let us participate in His work with Him. Such a SWEET thing!!
My friend, you have the most pleasant out of all streams/ reacts ive seen so far. Audio and video are clear you dont talk same time with the show
I love watching your channel and your spirit that comes through your words! May God continue to bless you with wisdom and understanding and ability to love him more!
When we are babies we require milk. When we are grown and mature, we require meat. Don’t remain a babe on milk. Grow to the point where we begin to eat the meat and grow in truth, wisdom, and knowledge.
We grow little by little. We learn and hopefully crave more.
We cannot be passive as we crave more!
Wow wow wow.
I watched all the episodes in season two with you as the commentor..I appreciated you sharing the pauses n observations on the scenes that spoke to you, also your explanations on the purpose of them. Many of them were similar to the ones I noted as well.
Episode 8 really helped me see how Jesus knew the whole picture of Gods plan for his disciples. But He was mindful to gently engraft each one individually into that plan.
This episode really spoke to me of the strong connection Jesus had with both the natural world n the spiritual realm at the same time.
I senced He was able to do that because of His( divine) relationship with His Father God n then able to inputted into His students in the manner that He did.
This is the Jesus I can relate with when I think of Him now. The episode helped me put skin, meat n bones to the one who at times seemed abstract , unapproachable ...
This Jesus is believable..pleasant with a sense of humor:)..n still encapsulates His divine wisdom/ nature ..and His
chosen ones are beginning to mirror this as well.
Beautifully captured on screen and in dialogue 💜🙋♀️
From ep6 Mary running to the beatitudes here... really brought to light my walk, and my step back from faith and that is (from adult age, because my testimony goes further back) but I accepted Jesus, at home, in my loungeroom. I know he sat beside me, I felt Him, I could see Him in my minds eye. All my convictions poured out and in that moment I was forgiven of my past. I then joined a church. I was badly mistreated and I tried to stay and work through it but left. 3 churches later and the same treatment. I walked away from church. Slowly I walked backwards from God. But tonight, even though I've watched these episodes several times, I was finally given the words I needed. Jesus forgave me of my past, but the people around me kept throwing me back to it by their treatment toward me. Pastors, their wives, their inner circle. Months before I found this series, I started my faith climb back with clearer focus. More calm. I get so so much from The Chosen. It was what I needed NOW ❤
I needed to come back and watch this today. The sermon on the Mount is what I needed today RIGHT NOW!!!!
Tim Mackie with the Bible Project has a whole series of teachings in Matthew- his videos about the Sermon on the Mount were really good 😊
The Ten Minute Bible Hour podcast with Matt Whitman also has some great processing of the Sermon on the Mount.
There would be no Son without the Father, and no father without a Son,, and the Holy Spirit us a product of that relationship so that we can always have all parts if Him.
I've enjoyed going through y episodes of the Chosen with you. Was late finding you do that's why I'm so late with this. I have joined in a few of your broadcasts on Instagram and you tube. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Watching this from Ireland - your reactions are wonderful
Ihave been oneof those not commited
Now slowly I go back to my catholic roots The Chosen is helping me in that 😍🫶🏾🫶🏾😬I am Yolanta from Toronto ,Canada
Definitely all in and have been for 44 years. Thank You Jesus! ☝🏻❤
wow, that was a subtle thing at the end with Judas. Have watched this episode several times, but this time it struck me that Judas joined the disciples but Jesus had not called him .wow.
WOW!
And it was Jesus who chose them (and us). The Holy Spirit is definitely on this project. Thanks for sharing!
You are right. We should question our feelings. They should not be the ultimate determiner of our decisions.
Beautifully presented Leo. So All In. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
@@LeonardoTorresMusic More than 'enjoyed'...it was food for the soul. You are doing this world much good by shining your light upon it. You asked what is Christianity...it's simple, it's twofold. (1.) The most beautiful expression of who Jesus is is found is John 1: 1-5. ( 2.) Jesus As "Salvation". This is where peeps be trippin. Did He really step in for us as a Savior? Does His 'Taking upon Himself the sins of the world' really have meaning? Did He actually feel and embody every hurt, heartache, and evil for all of mankind, from beginning to end? Did His 'flesh' and blood, given freely, make a difference...and how? You can only Know when you Know via the Spirit of God, which is Truth. No building labeled "Church" has all of the answers. And that is well and good. Who can say where God begins and ends? He lives In us, we Are the Church, which is the Body of Christ. We are to embody His love by representing Him to those within our responsibility. Every man and woman that enters our 'homes', every eye that looks back into ours. Light is the visual of Love. The Word is the sound of Love. Love is alive in truth/word and in light/love...where one begins and ends is impossible to divide into parts as it is whole and Holy. Everything is as a circle, no beginning and no end. Consider Genesis 1. In the beginning God spoke into the deep, the Possibility, and said "Let there be Light". This was the Word before the sun and moon were spoken into being. You could say God spoke into the vastness of all possibility; "Let there Be LOVE". This is the whole of the 'Gospel'. The gospel of Jesus the Christ is written within the Four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Ta Da! You're already there Leo. You embody the heart of Christ. That's the full sum of it's parts. Love and then More Love...etc, infinitum.
How did S2 affect me?
For the most part, it made me become aware of how selfish I am at times (the ending of ep. 3), and how much I want(ed) to stay in my "comfortable" old ways. When Jesus asks the paralytic at the pool, "Do you want to be healed?" it shocked me that my answer was, "No." Also, the introduction to the beatitudes - oh my! Sooo good. I'll never read them the same way ever again from now on. S1 was mindblowing to me and like many I too picture the actors and hear their voices when reading the bible now.
Thank you for the opportunity to rewatch S2 with you guys, and for your beautiful and open reaction to it. Looking forward to getting on the journey with you again in S3. 😉
I love CHOSEN a blessing thank you lord Jesus CHRIST AMEN ❤❤❤
Hi Leo...I was watching your reaction video on s2e8... you said something that I may have misunderstood.... although this life have great purpose in the service and plan of GOD... there is absolutely nothing that will be more fulfilling than what our loving Father has prepared for His children...I want my life to delight my Father in heaven...but I'm chomping at the bit to go home...eternally.....I have been enjoying your reaction and hope to catch you for season 4..YAHWEH's richest blessing on you.
God bless you and your channel keep up the good work spreading the news and teaching guitar and everything else you do thank you
I myself often stop and Rewind watching it on UA-cam that's only time I've been able to see it is on UA-cam and I greatly praise the Living God for it
Where is the Community’s tab? Been so blessed by your insights & want to continue this journey with you Leonardo. And I’m sure you saw the soundtrack is now available in The Chosen gift shoppe. 🙏ing you get to participate in S3🙏
The more you ask God questions, and go deeper into his word God answers. Your prayers and persistent in wanting to know him he lets you see him in his words in the small things . To knowledge his presence that is holy, that is peace and love. That he is everything you need , in the hard moments when only his presence comes through, he gives you rest if you receive him in your heart. To feel his peace after asking for forgiveness, when the tears of repentance are the relief to your soul.His love is the rest my heart has been looking for , I rejoice , I'm grateful for his mercy. I love you Eternal father Jehova, our Lord Jesus Christ and his Holy Spirit ❤️
I am committed although I am very much like Mary who fell and was weak but when I asked Him to forgive me… He did and I have followed Him ever sense!!Halelujah!!!!
The relationships you form can make or break you.
You cannot be passive about Jesus, because giving your heart can never be a passive thing. It is a commitment, a covenant, if you will, ..remember as you said once.. the heart is the center of the body and the spirit.
I was passive once. .. but Jesus redeemed and saved me from sin, and now my heart, my life, everything I have, everything I am belongs to Him... for always.
I missed live chat. But I watched. Awesome! I like it when we all watch. New insights 😊 Not sure if you went back and listen to the end credits closing music. It's the full Trouble lyrics. I think you will like it. God Bless you😊.
Thank you so much!
I love this episode and was soo looking forward to watching with you all again . Our Lord is amazing and I am moved at how beautifully they are showing Jesus's humanity and divinity 😇
With the reading back then, I’m not sure how many males could read either, as they did not have books at that point in time (only scrolls). I think paper and such was much more scarce, as they had to make it by hand. Also, if they wanted to have a copy of a “book”, they needed to hand write every single word to get just one copy. They just had a lot less to read back then, so I don’t know how important it was to their daily life to be able to read.
Excellent words dear Leonardo❤
Well, here was my big revelation today: the “blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.” can also mean, “when they use my name to do these things….
So bummed I missed this live! Would have been great to participate in the discussions... New Internet coming next week.
Pray to the Father in Jesus name and listen to the Holy Spirit, our guide.
I’m a committed passionate follower of Jesus. He is my everything.
Gods words are truly living. Made me choke up with the beatitudes. Can’t wait to be with Jesus. Also I thought you’re Christian now?
I think we all had the same reaction at the end… expecting to hear the whole sermon…
But let’s be honest…
That would probably be a whole 20mins in & of itself ahahah😅😂🤷♂️
Most of the men couldn't read either. The men only went to Hebrew School where they would memorize the Torah. Of the Apostles probably only Matthew could read and write at the time of this episode as it was a requirement for being a tax collector. Mostly only the rich and Priests could read.
Aloha from Hawaii 🌺💕 Yeshua was showing His Ohana (family) as He gave each verse...
You need to go back and listen to the song at the end. More lyrics to the "Trouble" song at the end of S1 after the women at the well!
Leonardo & Erika-There is on old song (from the 90's) that began playing in my head as the disciples were being shown with Christ's words and with your commentary after-"How Beautiful" sung by Twila Paris. I think (hope) you will like it. Blessings to you and your family!
The other day I was in live chat with the chosen and Dallas was on talking about what's to come. Anyway I commented that I've learned so much about Jesus and the Bible from watching this show. Way more than I had ever comprehend and learned by going to church or reading the Bible. A lady posted a comment to me. You can learn at home and just keep reading the Bible. You don't need the show for that. I was shocked.
Brother Leonardo,
Thank you so much for rereading The Sermon on the Mount!!!!!✝️❤
May The Lord Bless You and Keep You, And May His Light Keep Shining Upon You and your entire family!!!!!✝️❤
I love you so very much, Brother in Christ!!!!✝️❤😘
I'd have to respectfully disagree with the one comment about women in the Bible being treated as property. While it's true that some may have distorted what the Bible taught (the pharisees were proof of that), the Bible teaches this outright beautiful model where the man is the protector and provider of the family while the woman is the nurturer and housemaker (not housekeeper, houseMAKER; that's far more significant). The husband is the father who leads, the wife is the mother who teaches, and the motivation was supposed to be mutual love. The apostles taught that the husband was to lead, to protect and provide. The wife is to submit to her husband's leadership while taking care of the home (not just the house building) and teaching her children. Together, they are supposed to love each other and their family.
Man and women aren't equals in the Bible because God created us differently to fulfill different roles that, when combined in love, creates a whole. That's why the Bible says that the man leaves his parents and becomes "one flesh" with his wife. Different gender roles for different purposes, together they fulfill the role of being one. That's the whole reason God created Eve: it wasn't good for man to be alone (God's words, not mine) so He created Eve to be Adam's helper. He created Eve from the rib of Adam because they were to come together and be one whole.
It's unfortunate that our modern era has decided to forsake that and create a false and artificial sense of equality when the Bible teaches that the different gender roles between man and woman are beautiful and that they should be safeguarded as the divine design.
He created us to have different roles but we are EQUAL!!!! He loves us equally! He died for you as well as any man!
@@scraytonify1 He loves us equally, yes. Before the Father, we are equal. However, our role on earth is certainly not meant to be equal
@@jakobfel2 I think this is semantics. As a Christian woman, I believe we are equal in the sense that we have complimentary roles, neither more important than the other. Wives being instructed to be submissive to their husbands is within the context of a husband who is fulfilling his role and who is willing to die to protect her.
@@ninstone3457 I see what you're saying but it's more than semantics. It's not equality, it's divine balance. Equality is used by feminists to make everyone think they have a right to do what men do but in reality, the gender roles of men and women are different, designed in divine balance. That's why the first sin was aimed at that balance and it's why feminism has, ever since then, attempted to keep things out of balance because the demons know that God's design leads to stronger families raising children with better values which is a genuine threat to Satan's plans.
We are made equal in God's Eyes, he made a woman knowing than men couldn't be alone. He gave us different roles. Yet he didn't take away the importance of each role, is when men don't know how to be like Jesus , and want that summision with out knowing or understand that it's a blessing when a woman trust them. By equal is that we are all siner no matter if your male or female we are judge the same and love by God the same way, no human being is above the judgement of God.
I am committed and while on the hills top I praise and in the valley I praise. I try to live my life as a testimony. That with all my failures and successes Christ has never left me. His love endures and His blood sanctifies me. So in low valleys He is there to assure me. I don't have to measure myself by other standards. This is peace for me
God is our father and Jesus is our brother who has been in our environment in our flesh as a human being.
In today's world there are so many things that are wrong with mainstream christians that turn non believers away from a life with Jesus, I see in your eyes and your heart that you have a thirst for him, I implore you to disregard everything else and seek him for yourself, soon will be the time when he comes back and calls everyone out of all churches to his true church., Bc none have it right . Have faith and God bless you brother.
Thank you for understanding where I am coming from with the "Non-Christian" Title. I appreciate that you took the time to leave such a positive comment. Disregarding everything else is impossible for me. The Non-Christian title has drawn a lot of non-believers and has brought a lot of people closer to God. I have not yet received a single person say that they have turned away from God because of my Channel. It's challenging to disregard everything else when there are hundreds of negative comments about everything I am doing wrong, when all I am doing is spreading the Love of God. It is disconcerting.
I would like to know if you truly are not a believer who exactly do you pray to? Important to know.
@@MariaIMedina2121 obviously u didn't read what i wrote....if u did then you wouldn't ask those 2 questions, plain to see.
@@joshuaprokasy6763 the question was for Leonardo and a legitimate question since I am on the channel. It was not meant to offend although it may have to you. I am not pointing fingers because I'm not the judge although apparently you seem to have the answers. No I did not read your comment but I don't need to. Your aren't who I asked. There is good and bad in everything but don't be fooled or confused because the Bible tells me Jesus is the way the truth and the life and no one gets to the Father but through him. There are many gods people pray to but there is only true living God. My apologies to anyone who misconstrued my question but it was too know Leonardo and this channel better. He definitely seems sincere. Jesus spoke in parables but he was straight forward about who and what He believes.
@@MariaIMedina2121 yeah sorry , I reply in my notifications before I noticed the question wasn't for me.
THANK YOU❤
Thank you Leonardo
We come to the Father through Jesus, our Savior.
Indeed. I do not believe any Christian/Catholic would EVER dispute that. 😀
I am 100% committed to Jesus and my faith
Brother. Genuinely curious of what’s stopping you from a relationship with the Lord? You def follow and believe in certain things that Christians believe so what is stopping you? Love the work you do brother!
Matthew worked for what the jews considered to be thrir enimy, but I believe his Heart was pure and he just kept still from all the mistreatment he got ,and as He grows He just gets fitmer and stronger
💛💛💛Thank you!
We pray to our Heavenly Father, and Jesus is our advocate with the father. That is why we pray in Jesus's name. The Holy Ghost testifies of God and Christ and teaches us truth. I am all in. I try to be all in my trying to follow Jesus Christ daily and develop the attributes discussed in the sermon on the mount. By grace we are saved but if we love the Lord we keep his commandments.
Familia ready for ssn 3 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
there is a book by Emmont Fox called Sermon on the mount - I read it as a baby Christian it was really good,, made you hungry.
51:00 wowowow jonathan was really great he said the words with justice i could imagine it really was Jesus speaking
Fully committed is one who truly believe and not just a church goer .
There are fluctuations in life. Passivity happens, IMHO, when this life’s concerns takes over and sometimes you forget. But then something happens that kind of “snaps you outta” of it and you return with greater devotion
Hi from Yolantafrom Toronto,Canada😊
Hey if you havnt watched the reactions to The Chosen by the channel Grafted here on youtube you should! They are Messianic Jewish elders and they explain details of things being said and I found it super informative and think you all would too!
JESUS PEOPLE, may we be and continue to become the MAP to JESUS.
Even the Bible talks about questioning everything in 1st Thessalonians 5:20 - 21 “ Do not despise prophesies. Test all things, hold fast what is good. “
Owning manuscripts was rare and expensive at the time.
The neat things about receiving rewards in Heaven is that they will be the gifts we give to Him.
I’ve been massive. This moves me so much🩵
I heard a pastor ask- do we just admire Jesus- or follow him?
Hello from Utah❤
About the order of GOD!
“After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed. He said, “Father, the time has come. Bring glory to your Son. Then your Son will bring glory to you. You gave him authority over all people. He gives eternal life to all those you have given him. And what is eternal life? It is knowing you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth. I have finished the work you gave me to do. So now, Father, give glory to me in heaven where your throne is. Give me the glory I had with you before the world began. “I have shown you to the disciples you gave me out of the world. They were yours. You gave them to me. And they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. I gave them the words you gave me. And they accepted them. They knew for certain that I came from you. They believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world. I am praying for those you have given me, because they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. Glory has come to me because of my disciples. I will not remain in the world any longer. But they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe by the power of your name. It is the name you gave me. Keep them safe so they can be one, just as you and I are one. While I was with them, I guarded them. I kept them safe through the name you gave me. None of them has been lost, except the one who was headed for ruin. It happened so that Scripture would come true. “I am coming to you now. But I say these things while I am still in the world. I say them so that those you gave me can have the same joy that I have. I have given them your word. The world has hated them. That’s because they are not part of the world any more than I am. I do not pray that you will take them out of the world. I pray that you will keep them safe from the evil one. They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to it. Use the truth to make them holy. Your word is truth. You sent me into the world. In the same way, I have sent them into the world. I make myself holy for them so that they too can be made holy by the truth. “I do not pray only for them. I pray also for everyone who will believe in me because of their message. Father, I pray they will be one, just as you are in me and I am in you. I want them also to be in us. Then the world will believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory you gave me. I did this so they would be one, just as we are one. I will be in them, just as you are in me. This is so that they may be brought together perfectly as one. Then the world will know that you sent me. It will also show the world that you have loved those you gave me, just as you have loved me. “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am. I want them to see my glory, the glory you have given me. You gave it to me because you loved me before the world was created. “Father, you are holy. The world does not know you, but I know you. Those you have given me know you have sent me. I have shown you to them. And I will continue to show you to them. Then the love you have for me will be in them. I myself will be in them.””
John 17:1-26
Thanks!
Thank you Rachel for your help!
I look very deep into things
s3 ep1&2 was awesome👏👏👏👏
That was my reaction at the end too
So God inspired!
BLESSONS!!
"Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23 NIV
On questioning what you read, watch, hear, see:
1John 4:1-3 NIV
"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world."
Homologo is the greek word and it doesn't just mean say or acknowledge. They can say they aknowlage christ came in the flesh and lie I've had voices in my head tell me to skin babies alive and claim they confess christ came in the flesh.
Thanks
Taste and see.that The Lord Is Good!
I'm all in!!
Pride comes before the fall....Humble yourself. God gave opportunity and blessings. He gave you all.
Revelation, what we need.
NO NO NO...REVIVAL!
It is a map ...to heaven.
