The Chosen ~ Judas is Coming

Greetings Dear Reader, 

There will be spoilers.  This is your only warning.  This BLOG series will walk through each episode of the first two seasons of the amazing show The Chosen available free to watch at the link.  If you have not seen it, I encourage you to do so.  It is by far the best adaptation of the Gospels to film I have ever encountered. 

Tomorrow we will start the analysis of season two.  There are things to consider as we do.  We are still waiting for some of the apostles to appear.  We are seeing Jesus is running counter to the culture of his time.  Season one closes with Jesus promising to cause some trouble. 

Season two delivers.  What I wish for us to see is the disciples still needing to appear.  Whilst I take a different approach to Simon the Zealot and Judas in The Judas Scroll, they are still some of the controversial calls still today.  As a setting for the two of them appearing, we hear Simon Peter, James, and John all express the desire for a violent Jesus to bring down the Romans.  

There are ample voices from the disciples, Priests, and Rome concerned about revolution.  In the back of my mind the entire season is the gnawing knowledge.  You see, Jesus is doing a great job in the show explaining he is not about violence and war.  He also insists his disciples leave behind the things they assume.  Then, he promises to cause trouble.  He announces publicly he is the Messiah.  

Picking at my brain the entire time is the Zealot and the Iscariot.  I know how I view this and am curious about how The Chosen will.  Keep in mind as we enter season two analysis, Judas is coming and we know his story.  Then again, do we?  I know my view of him is quite different than most.  My novel is due out before the Chosen will deliver all its answers about Judas.  I am curious to see how this honest show deals with arguably the most-hated man in history.  Keep walking with me, Dear Reader; we will see how things unfold. 

Wishing you joy in the journey,
