Last Saturday, my wife and I watched The Chosen: The Last Supper, Part 1 in theaters. We plan to follow up with Parts 2 and 3 over the next two Saturdays while it’s still on the big screen for a limited time. In my opinion, this is one of the most powerful ways to understand what was happening in the final days before Jesus was crucified.
The best way I can summarize this incredible theatrical portrayal of Jesus and His followers is by paraphrasing Mary Magdalene’s words from Episode 2 of The Chosen’s first season:
“I was one way, and now I’m completely different. And the thing that happened in between was Him.”
There were about ten others in the theater with us—none with popcorn. This isn’t the kind of movie you watch while snacking. Director Dallas Jenkins masterfully captures the emotions of each character, including the adversaries who genuinely feared the threat Jesus posed to those living under Roman rule.
Do yourself a favor—go see Jesus on the big screen while you have the chance. But before you do, watch the first four seasons at home to truly connect with the characters. You won’t be disappointed.
For a sneak preview, check out the YouTube video below.
Have a great day!
