It works so well

It was good, but I wished she would have prayed for herself. She was alone and had lost a baby, she had undergone so much pain and shifting the focus so much on Peter did her a bit wrong I think. I had such a hard time connecting with her character because she is losing a lot of personality. Too selfless, you know. It works for the scene, but realistically I think it would have been better if she had prayed "Don't let us go." I even think it would have worked better if Peter had been present when they lost the baby. This whole marriage quarrel was painful to watch. I thought he had little compassion for his wife and if they wanted to depict him mourning his child so much he should have known of his wife's pregnancy and looking forward to being a father. They could have really shown him struggling uniting family with following Jesus. They missed a chance there.

I can agree to disagree with you on this one. The main idea was simply to get The Walking On Water scene and for Simon to come to terms with following Jesus even with everything doesn't make sense which is a classic character trait assignment that's listed in the Bible. The information about the marriage in the miscarriage and those things aren't necessarily in the Bible so that's just fodder and I think the main idea was to have it resolved so that at the end of the day Simon was committed to Jesus more than anything else. But that's just me.

I agree it was brilliant.

That and Simon just holding on to Jesus and saying, "don't let me go" touched me to my core! I found myself praying that through tears all the way home.

I think the point with them showing Eden praying for her husband instead of herself is because we as followers of Christ are to reflect Jesus’ character. Jesus throughout his ministry prayed for others. Scriptures in both the Old and New Testament tell us to pray for one another. Job 42:10 “And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.” 1 Timothy 2:1 “First of all, then, I urge that supplicants, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,” James 5:16, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working”. I think they were showing Eden was following the scripture of old and following Jesus example by praying for others before herself and in this case it was for her husband. I personally think the scene flashing between Eden and Peter represents the healing that can take place as we pray for one another. Peter may not have seemed like he was praying, but he was seeking Jesus for answers for the pain and loss that he didn’t understand. I can only imagine this is the struggle that couples who go through with such a painful loss. Men tend to want to fix things or have answers and in this scene Peter had neither, so he sought out the only one who does. At least that is what I got from the flashing scenes between Eden and Peter. As for the walking on water and Peter sinking, well it symbolizes what happens to us followers of Christ when we take our eyes off Jesus and don’t put our complete trust in God. Matthew 6:33 “ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

Amen!

AMEN!!!

YES! THERE IT IS! ALL PRAISES TO OUR LORD N SAVOR!!! THANK YOU JESUS, we know it was your will to get this this scene on film!!! Amen!

Amen

All the feels in one scene.

Yes me also❤

Me too, and I can't control it. I tried not to tear up, but it doesn't work. I don't get bumps but my eyes just drip tears. I know that these are just actors and the scene is not the real event, but I also know that it really did happen, and I think back and wander into the mind of Simon Peter, and just imagine how he felt when he lost his faith and began sinking. And then I can imagine that feeling when Yeshua pulled him up, and asked him why he doubted. I also have compassion on him because at least he was the only one of the twelve that had enough faith in the first place to actually get out of the boat and do it for however many steps it was, until he felt the fear again because of the rough seas and the boisterous wind and got his eyes off of Yeshua. I hate it when people try to think that it was an allegorical example for us to use when our faith is faltering. It is narrative because that's the genre of the chapter, and I know that there are spiritual components to the account that we can learn from, but it really did happen (and I know that I have said that already, but it's worth repeating.)

​​@@TheChosenSeries Yes, the entire series has been a mixed bag of emotions and spiritual lessons. Even if there are additional stories added, and character qualities or attributes that we don't read anything about in the Scriptures. I understand that it's not supposed to be an exact depiction of the Bible narrative, but even though there is a lot of artistic licence being used to tell the gospel stories, I don't think that it's a sinful act as so many people have been in an uproar about. I remember Dallas explaining that right from the start so that people were advised to not use the program as a substitute for reading and studying our Bibles. I don't know what God's judgement is regarding the additional stories and details to make this program entertaining and provocative enough to make people thirst for the whole word of God. There are hundreds of people (if not more) who are unhappy with the added side stories and additions to the Bible. I have seen comments on every episode and it appears to me that many people have been brought closer to God in Jesus' (Yeshua Messiah) tenderness acted by Johnathan Roumie. He seems to have a tender heart and that is a necessary characteristic of our Lord.

A lot of work but worth it, Marti!

Glad you weren't disappointed, @bassmanjr100. 🙂

Perfectly said 👏

Thank you for your positive feedback, Steven!

@@TheChosenSeries You’re more than welcome! 🙏🏻✝️

Yes!!

Me, too!

As a grown man I'm happy to say that almost every episode of the show I've watched has made me cry. I'm trying to remember which ones didn't which are very few. S3E1 is the only I can think of.

Simon is all of us, Daniel.

Thank you for sharing how The Chosen has impacted you, Beth.

I really liked the part where they filmed up showing Jesus feet walking on the water I thought that was cool

@@pamelajohnson6675for sure; it’s amazing how the smallest little details can be so profound! The reaching into the water to pull Simon out rocked me to my core…how many times has Jesus “reached into the water” to pull every one of us out of our despair? For me, many many times…I love Jesus so much, He’s my world 🥹♥️🙏🏼…. This show has lit a fire, a passion and a deep desire for my Savior; to know Him like never before. I can’t wait to see Him face to Face and thank Him for loving me so much, for forgiving me, for sacrificing His life for me. Everything we go through in this pain filled life will all be worth it when I see His face…God is so good!

We're right there with you, Ann. #BingeJesus is a thing. :)

Glad you enjoy it all the way from India! @s12star

Matthew may have edited it, @Trasea. 😉

Completely understandable, Susan.

Everyone worked very hard to bring this scene to life, @vh8674.

We will do our best, Jeni.

AMEN 🙌

The faith of a mustard seed...and I have faith as as large as mountains. Pray in his spirit, and work through his will, read and practice his word, and I promise you, no HE promises you, a *relationship* WITH him. I will pray for your relationship with our Heavenly Father, and act accordingly to his word and will, God bless and God speed.

@@kdr129 I have that, but struggle big time when it comes to trust especially when everything is dark
