The Chosen - Indescribable Compassion

Join drama guru Brenden Taylor and myself as we discuss Episode 6 of The Chosen. This epsode is titled "Indescribable Compassion, and gives us an up-close-and-personal look at the compassion of Jesus. This is a key episode in season one, as Jesus is growing in popularity and notoriety. Crowds are beginning to gather around him, which of course attracts the attention of both the Jewish religious leaders and the Romans. As in Scripture, not everyone receives Jesus in the same way, but "those who have eyes to see and ears to hear" see Jesus as the winsome, loving, and authoritative Son of God. Jesus is SO relatable in this episode, and among other things, Brenden and I discuss the ways we have traditionally perceived Jesus in our churches -- often as kind of a critical judge. We don't always have an easy time perceiving Jesus and the Father as entities who delight in us and who really do want to bless us and draw us deeper into loving fellowship.

Those are just a few of the things we discuss this week as we dive into this episode of The Chosen. Enjoy!
