When Jesus was on Earth, people struggled with his divinity. Now He’s ascended, we struggle with his humanity. Jonathan brought a great underscoring to this much needed attribute
To a believer, that isn't hard. It's Jesus' availability to us that people often miss. In his divinity and humanity, both are always present to us, truly open to him.
In 2004 as a young Christian I asked God how He felt about people who rejected His message and turned away from Him. One hour later three huge, intense waves of extremely deep grief washed over me, lasting at least half an hour. I have never before or since ever, felt that massive amount of personal grief. Every last tear in my body flowed out and my nasal passages also ran dry. What happened? I simply asked the Lord how He felt about those who rejected Him. He gave me an extremely graphic and personal answer one hour later. He doesn't want to lose one precious soul to the enemy and grieves deeply for each lost one. Ps, My tee shirt was soaked with my tears and my spaghetti dinner went cold. Ask the Lord into your life, He loves each one, and sheds tears over the lost. Your life will never be the same again, He will bless, guide, strengthen and protect every one of his precious children. I know, I experienced His immense grief over personal rejection. He longs to see your face, not your back. Please don't dissapoint Him, you will never regret that first step in His direction. God bless you. 😇
Wow wow wow🥺that is so incredibly profound. The Holy Spirit let you feel that grief😖thanks for sharing that🙏🏾There’s a quote I love from C.S. Lewis - “die before you die, there’s no chance after”. He wants us all, so so desperately🥲🥲what a God we serve😊
Thank you so much for sharing that experience. I have cried so many tears, but not as much and as intense as you had that day. God knows what we can handle. I am too emotional to handle that kind of grief so intensely. But having a relationship with Jesus Christ has made all the difference. Jesus is my LIFE! He is everything to me... Thank you so much for sharing. If anyone that isn't saved reads this, just give Jesus Christ one chance. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Amen. There were a few times while praying I also felt a deep sadness like how Jesus must have felt because of what we do here on Earth. It must have been way milder than yours but feeling it really puts things in another perspective. Lord have mercy on us. 🙏
@@edithhewson7208 very unchristian of you to judge. Who cares protestant, Catholic or man made hallelujah throw your hands in the air so called Christians, Jesus is with him. You think Jesus is judging?!
@@D.O.R.E.I Exactly, what I thought perhaps she believes Jesus was miserable or something 🤷♀️! Jesus loves the little children. How sad for someone to think it is sad the pure innocence of a child. 🤦♀️
This guy was born to “play” Jesus. Get over the sinful person syndrome, yes, every day , with acts of contrition and the Litany of humility. God doesn’t always choose the best but, it’s you He chose . So? Be grateful! “ Who is like unto God! No one!”
I played baby Jesus as a 3 month old in December 1980 Christmas play. I hear I did an amazing performance, well behaved and quiet lol! God uses us in amazing ways. It’s an honor to represent the King of Kings, I could never be His equal!
Cool. My daughter also played Jesus as a newborn (just for a photo while she was asleep). She was under two months old. Since you were three months old you must have a September birthday like she and I do.
Brothers and sisters...we are either Born Again (John 3:3) or we're not. The day we truely cry out to Jesus Christ in repentance, and acknowledge that His work on the cross was more then enough to atone for our sin, then we will realize we can speak to Him DIRECTLY, and commune with Him daily. Being Born Again is an amazing supernatural miracle that occurs one time, and the day His grace comes upon us, we will be Born of the blessed Holy Spirit. Repent wherever you are today, and turn to Christ ALONE for Salvation. ❤
I am really amazed at how The Chosen is praised by Catholics and Protestants both. As a faithful Catholic revert - having spent 8 years as a Presbyterian and still grateful for that time - and having spent years studying now, all of us Christians need to set aside our differences. Not that the differences are unimportant - they are very important to discuss openly and honestly. But in this evil day we need to unite in our Love for Christ and FIGHT the evil all around us. Even on this forum I find Christians lying about what each other believe... ENOUGH! Listen to each other! LOVE one another as Christ loves you!
Is not set apart your differences but Jesus clearly says you will know them by their fruits. He also says in Matthew 25 that many will come and say, Lord in Your name we did this and did that but Jesus will respond, Depart from Me I do not know You! Jesus is looking for hearts willing to obey Him. He is looking for a relationship with Him. He want people Truly to get to know Him. John 14:15: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” He wants obedience and obedience to His bible word. Matthew 15:8-9 These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their hearts is far from Me. God is sooo real, they are many who are not willing to let goo for the cause of the Cross
I'll be honest we all need to think of ourselves first and foremost as Christians, that is, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. We may have some differences in exactly how we worship, but what is important is that we all have our faith in our lord savior, and only through him can we be saved.
I just love how he expertly portrays the humanity of Jesus in a way I never thought possible. It's incredible, and makes you desire a relationship with Jesus more than anything in the world.
As a convert from Buddhism to Catholism 34yrs ago. The more I pray and study the Holy Bible and Catechism of the Catholic Church, the more it becomes ALIVE in me and around me, this world We Live in together!! WOW, God IS Gracious beyond intellectual understanding! His Love IS Truly with us; Body, blood, soul and Divinity, Amen 🙏 Brother's and Sisters take this seriously with Love, Profound reverence and surrender, Amen 🙏.
While seemingly good, a ONE WORLD religion is most evil as can be imagined, unless of course ALL are unified that Jesus is the son of the one true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Savior of the world. According to scripture that is NOT going to happen.
Jonathan's portrayal of Jesus, in my humble opinion, is beyond phenomenal. His eyes are everything! Everything that Jesus feels is in Jonathan's eyes. The scene where Jesus talks with Nicodemus and the scene with Little James. Watch those scenes and watch Jonathan's eyes. His mouth is speaking the lines, but his eyes convey the love and compassion that Jesus surely felt for all of humanity, especially those in his inner circle.
The phariseeism in me(the little that I didn't know was still there lol) withheld me from watching The Chosen until a few weeks ago when the Holy Spirit led me to watch it and Jonathan's performance confirmed it. So true what you're saying about his eyes! Of course NO ONE could even match Jesus, but you can truly see the love of God in Jonathan's eyes. It is so clear that God's Hand is in this. I've watched a few interviews and videos with Dallas and their sincerity and humility is so obvious. Many, many people have stated that The Chosen led them to read their Bibles. While I was already deep into the Word, The Chosen has brought to me a newfound humility that I cannot explain and brings me to tears. God is SO GRACIOUS AND SO MERCIFUL! I'm very grateful for this project of Dallas, Jonathan, and team.
@@abbafatherswarriorprincess3627 Happy to read the line, 'when the Holy Spirit led me to watch'. Same here. He led me to watch this and encourages me to share this series with as many. Thanks for sharing.
@@GinzaGeorge thank you too for sharing this ☺. It blesses me to know there are more brothers and sisters sharing the same experience. Father is SO WONDERFUL to us!
As a born-again Christian that happens to be protestant, I loved Jonathan's expression 'unity in community.' I also loved the wonderful story of how God had been preparing him as a youth for this role and the significance this role would have in his adult life (not to mention the impact it would have on thousands, perhaps even millions of others!). That's Jesus-- the One who sees us even before we are even aware of Him. (John 1:48-50).
@Olia Krist The Roman Catholic Church is not a denomination. Secondly, being born again is akin to putting on a robe, or as the bible puts it, a spotless garment, NOT a series of good feelings that are meant to serve self. St. John of the cross explains this quite clearly in his writings.
@Olia Krist Why would I consult a false teacher about anything. No, your chosen authority has YOU in darkness. This is why you cannot present any argument, just feelings. If you have any substance, please present it.
@Olia Krist Do you have an argument to present? Perhaps a quote? a snippet of video? Anything that caught your attention, rather than how you feel about a subject? Because this is the very reason why you are to avoid false teachers. They manipulate you with a feeling and not facts.
While seemingly good, a ONE WORLD religion is most evil as can be imagined, unless of course ALL are unified that Jesus is the son of the one true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Savior of the world. According to scripture that is NOT going to happen. 5:36
Enjoy this show but read your Bible at a ratio of 100-1 Bible being the 100. This show is encouraging but it is not Gods word, nor does it hold sufficient direction and guidance for a Christians life.
I can relate to everything Jonathan says. Feeling called, being raised Catholic, questioning my faith, searching for guidance and returning to Jesus and God more closely than ever. I also experienced clinical depression and anxiety throughout this period of time. I prayed when I didn’t know if I still believed in anything and God never failed me. My path was changed for the better because I was open and listened for God during my pain. I believe that He places opportunities in our path, but we must listen and choose them. I can’t say I am Catholic anymore, but fully Christian and able to help others with their mental health and spiritual journeys. I feel blessed. Thank you Jonathan for your wise words.
Jonathan portrayal of Jesus is outstanding! Jesus was very humble servant but serious about his teachings which is beautifully displayed in Jonathan’s acting 🎭 I’m at the point of tears when I see Jonathan action on Jesus because ai strongly feel this would have been very similar to how Jesus would have carried himself here on earth.
he is the realest Actor Jesus I have seen. We all love Jim Cavizel but as a human person likable Jesus this guy played a great Jesus. He made Jesus as someone who is human. its hard for me to articulate
Jonathan is just a man like the rest of us. His portrayal of Jesus is nice in my opinion, but of course nothing to the real Jesus. Again in my opinion, I stress Jesus was completely different in his looks and authority. When he spoke to you, you really knew that authority exuded from him. When you know something, or someone is it not a fact? So is it not a fact that you yourself exist. Similar in many ways, but not in many other ways.
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21 Jesus said the Father is the only true God! John 17 3 And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. RSV Only-monos God-theos Monos theos Monotheism The Father Jesus is the one sent by the true God (the Father)! Jesus never claimed to be God, Jesus said he has a God! Jesus has a God! Jesus died! God can’t die! God raised Jesus from the dead!
Jim Cavizel played Jesus the best of anyone I’ve ever seen, but he’s not a likeable person in real life. He’s actually a neocon. Jonathan is a much more likeable person.
I too, consider myself a born again Catholic. I believe it is one of the basic “aspects” of Catholicism we miss out on teaching: a PERSONAL relationship with Jesus Christ. I seriously didn’t know it was possible until establishing beautiful friendships with my friends.
I have a question for you two beautiful people: Do you actually realize the TREMENDOUS CONTRIUBUTION you both have made to our catholic faith? May God continue working in your hearts to keep you evangelizing. Our prayers are with you!
Hands down the best interpretation of Jesus ever! I am amazed by Jonathan’s grace and humility while portraying the most important person, not only to the world, but to me personally. Thank you for bringing this portrayal of our Lord so much honor and dignity.
Loved it when you said "born again Catholic ". I too consider myself a born again Catholic and I want more than anything to be closer to the Trinity and look forward to receiving the Eucharist at Mass. Thank you. I love my Catholic faith. ❤
Jonathan, you are here in this very place because no one else can do what you are doing. No one else can deliver the message you are delivering. No one else can be the empty vessel God will use to bring people home, to His heart. Blessings to you for being that open vessel!
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH!

Your work on The Chosen is nothing less than marvelous. Being a person of Catholic ascendency myself I can relate to the experience of knowing that passion for Christ that is described. Having fallen and succumbed to sin, and becoming a loathsome creature I now, too, can relate to the beauty and wonder of the forgiveness Christ has given even to a wretched creature like myself. Seeing how Jesus is as a man, as one of us, helps me to personalize my walk with our Saviour Jesus as one of those he rose back to life in God’s will… …at least as much as can be done with one such as myself. I love the energy “The Chosen” has put into my faith and how it brings Jesus to life for me. It helps me to “see” what and know why I pray. Thanks for a lot of truly great work.
Because they made him real and human. We don't get the laughter in the Bible, few tears, but it's the conversations the friendships that make someone a friend. Dallas took our imaginations, or Ignatius practices and put it together for The Chosen.
The writers did a marvelous job... kudos to Dallas and his team. Jonathan is the perfect actor for the role of JESUS. I love THE CHOSEN..writers, crew and actors. The humanity of all the Bible characters shine through. God's blessings on you all and on The WHOLE SHOW...,(past and future seasons and episodes). Love you Dallas and love how you coach and encourage the whole team ❤️❤️❤️
The Chosen has brought Jesus to life. I'm wonderful what our Jewish friends think about it. I'm loving this video. I have the faith to believe that what we are saying is true. I can't wait for Season 4. Go team!!!
I want to share about my near-death-experience together with my deceased daughter. It's a NDE story about the way our lives are judged and measured and analyzed by ETERNITY. It's about the strength of forgiveness that can change everything for the better, even on the other side. It's a story of hope and blessings to everyone who is looking for a PROOF OF ETERNITY, and that's the title of my book PROOF OF ETERNITY by Alba Monn. It's a story of hope and blessings to everyone who is mourning about the loss of a loved one, especially for parents who have lost their own children. I came to testify that ETERNITY is a fact, that our loved ones live on on the other side, that they want for us to be comforted and completely consoled by the truth, because the truth will set you free. Blessings to everyone who reads this!
I was a born again Catholic back in 1973 - Even before Time Magazine called us "Charismatics". We had weekly prayer meetings at the churches, believing and experiencing the gifts of Holy Spirit. An amazing time.
it has been an amazing trip that started for me in 1985. I am always hoping that others get that truly deep experience in being an instrument for God the Father, experiencing Christ within, and being led by the Holy Spirit. Challenging, but fun.
Your portrayal of Our Lord could not be any better. You affirm my vision of Christ as a friend and loving brother. Jesus, who is absolute mercy; Who is the Mercy of God incarnate, comes to life in The Chosen. Thank you and the whole cast and crew for bringing the Gospel of Love to life!
@@PR-cq4zc Your ignorance of Church history, of the sacraments, of the Patristic writings and consistent traditions of Christianity (and perhaps... and I'm not trying to be judgmental... a little hatred of an institution); blinds you to the truth. We ALL need to be saved. But the ancient and most venerable practices of Roman Catholics and Easter Orthodox does not exclude their practitioners from the ranks of the "saved". For now, let's just agree to disagree! May God's Divine Mercy be upon you and yours always, and in all ways! Deacon Francis
@@PR-cq4zc Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World, is an inclusive God. The woman at the well, the good Samaritan, and dozens of other stories in the New Testament demonstrate this. My particular tenets may not be identical to yours, but that doesn't lead me to say you're not my brother or sister in Christ. Yes, the gate is narrow, but as long as we keep our face to The Son, we will all get there eventually. He will lead us to it.
When you have a true conversion and meet the master, you will never be the same again. Living a repentant surrendered life everyday is the key to true obedience to Christ.
Read the bible. There are dozens of contradictions between God's Word and the Catholic cult. I am most happy to list them, should you genuinely be in search of Truth.
I never practiced the walk carrying a cross. Not once. I also don’t know any other preteen kids that have. You are The Chosen’s chosen for a reason that is not of this world. I think it is wonderful that you had that preteen experience to want to do that. Also that it was given to you by God to want to act it out, even then. He knows the desires of your heart. He is fulfilling them in your life and letting you act out the ministry of Jesus in this way that will guide so many to the Lord. Thanks for being obedient to God!
Beautiful, as an early childhood Catholic upbringing, came to be born again at 33 after a very low point in my life! I have been wanting desperately to find a way to make it clear to other Catholics ,so thankful God is using your life to lead them into full relationship with God through Christ and Holy Spirit born again conversion! Praise God!!
Hahaha! That’s exactly what I tell Protestants when they ask me if I’m a Born Again Christian. I’m a “born again” Traditional Roman Catholic! To God be the Glory!
@Jennifer Tippin no it’s definitely not in the Bible! And no, it’s not another religion. I was baptized into Novos Ordo Catholicism and became agnostic. By the grace of God, I was given a chance at life. I feel like I was born again, new life, new me, new way of looking at life. I found my way to the Traditional Roman Catholic Church. Now I feel home. Peace be with you @Jennifer Tippin
@@itsmiyang I’m publishing a weekly TH-cam video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you..
@@shanefox9797 You confess by faith that Jesus is your Lord and Savior and you ask him into your life and trust in him alone, ask Jesus to forgive you for all your Sins to wash you with his precious blood. You will then be sealed by His Holy Spirit The bible says he is faithful and just to do that.There is no other name in this earth that you can be saved by.The there is power in the mighty name of Jesus. He will grant you everlasting life is a free gift of God. Anyone who is in Christ Jesus is a new creation old things are passed away behold all things are brand new...Read John 3 in your Bible😉 God Bless you!
My husband and I just finished all 3 seasons of the Chosen. Everytime I see him,, I felt Jesus s love and got very emotional with it. It is an amazing feeling. His eyes are kind and caring. Jonathan emerges into Jesus so deeply and it impacts our life. Thank you for your amazing acting. We are forever grateful.
Ohhh Jonathan...thank you for your testimony your honesty...your passion to play the grace of Jesus in the Chosen...you asked why and how you ended up here...it’s because you are The Chosen... Dallas Jenkins was led by God to Choose YOU... I wear my Chosen shirt proudly and am glad to tell everyone to watch this ..🥰🥰
Love this production wonderful. I am a Orthodox Christian beautiful show wow can't wait for season 2. Great actor doing a phenomenal job very handsome man.
Watching Jonathan Roumie as Jesus Christ is so effective. After I watched The Chose, I watch and watch all over again just to see the face of Jonathan, to me he is the perfect guy who plays Jesus Christ. The emotions and the face, he is so much like of our Jesus Christ.
A beautiful testimony of a seed planted in childhood, watered by the spirit and given time in the winter seasons for the roots to go deep. Thank you Jesus for the great love you have shown your children, especially for the holding of the vision in our dear brother Jonathan.
My favorite show ever!!!! My whole family rocking a shorts, sweaters and hats. We gotta support them! Glad bless them all!!! I used to be a Catholic but I’m a born again Christian. Thank God! The Bible says not to worship any other idols or other Gods. That means the Virgin Mary too. We can’t worship her. I respect her and she’s a very special woman. She was chosen. I’m sure she’s in heaven with a huge crown! love Jesus mom. But I only worship the father, son and the Holy Spirit..
It's not about worshipping her, it's about being guided by her towards a closer relationship with God, she intervenes for us (and after all He can't refuse when His mother asks for something)
Beautifully said Jonathan...God has preparing you for such a time as this! Using you to play out the gospel when our world needs it desperately!! God Bless, Protect you and America!!🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✝️✝️❤❤
I was born and raised atheist/secular. Recently I've heard the call of God. My mother and girlfriend are both protestant, so naturally I tried that because I'm new to faith. After learning that there are over 30,000 different denominations, I started to give up. I have given up on God over and over again, because it's hard for me to accept it due to how I was raised. But everytime before I give up, I get drawn into catholicism. So drawn in that it changes my way of thinking, feeling, and experiencing the world around me. But I usually gave that up too, because of what others will say (misunderstand) about the catholics. But now I really truly believe this is the path God is directing me towards. I still wrestle with God sometimes, but I think for the most part he has won this fight. But in a way, loving God is a win win situation. Now I'm clean from addiction, I'm focusing on living a more christ like life, and best of all I can finally feel the presence of God.
most protestants reject Catholicism because they cannot accept obedience and trust in the Church's authority established by Jesus Himself. Rejecting Catholicism and her teachings is rejecting God's authority. Mostly out of pride, they prefer to side with Judas than to submit to Peter's authority. You might disagree or dislike a Pope, Bishop or Priest...or a particular Catholic dogma...but the authority of such individual or dogma does not come from men but from the Holy Spirit. Even an evil, twisted pope, as some that have existed through History, was appointed under the authority of the Church. The misdeeds and errors of such bad pope (or bishop or priest) are God's will, and as the Church history has proven over and over, great Godly things have actually come from such evil events.
@@jayschwartz6131 I am really impressed by your level of stupidity, justifying all the evil that your church has created for centuries, the holy inquisition, the holy wars, the rape of minors ... understand the catholic church was not created by Jesus, read, find out, do not take out sentimental conclusions.
Yes dear brother! The way you love John 3:16, and understand it's meaning, you have been born of the Spirit for sure. You can't unsee what you've seen! In you own words. Well said.
Johnathan is so funny when he says he wonders why he is given this opportunity and he infers he's a regular human ( a flawed sinner like we all are ). HE WAS BORN FOR THIS PURPOSE ! It is essential that he be a real Christian because the fact that he is brings this beautiful grace through him . I hope people don't pressure him too much. He is a wonderful actor and God has already used him in a very powerful way. Praying for this incredible project called "The Chosen ". Each actor in this project seems to be inspired choices for each role.. I'd just like to mention I enjoy the actress who plays Mother Mary. The interchange between them is natural and enjoyable to watch. She has given me a fresh picture of Mary !
I wonder what you mean by " Born again catholic" ? One is either born again in Christ or one is not. When one is born again of water and spirit one is no longer roman Catholic or baptist or any such thing.
@@J.J.V irrelevant. Joining any church is not being born again. And it is impossible to serve the acc and the lord JESUS. Because the rcc encourages and teaches things that oppose the lord Jesus. Any confidence that you'll be saved because your Roman Catholic is a FALSE hope.
I have been waiting for over 3 years now for god to open a door for me. I feel like Jonathan that god has been preparing me my whole life for what is coming next!!
Jonathan is capturing the essence of Jesus in The Chosen more than any other actor that I have seen play the role of Jesus. I believe he was born to play this role (I am in my 70s). He is such a humble man and I am sure many have come to know and accept Jesus as their personal Savior through watching The Chosen. I'm looking forward to Season 4. May God bless Jonathan and all the actors in this series and keep them safe.
Jonathan, your there because he wants you there to depict his human side, so people could identify with him in this world today. I'm sure you've heard we are living in the last days, and we need an actor like you to draw more people to him. My friend you have become A fisher of men and women. Just like the actor that plays Peter in the Chosen series. God Bless you my friend.
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings! Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH!

@Julián Babilonia No not at all The word was with God What does GOD mean there? Who is “the word” with?? The word was with the Father? The word was with the trinity? The word was with Jesus??
@Julián Babilonia Can you answer the question? The word was with God What does GOD mean there? Who is “the word” with?? The word was with the Father? The word was with the trinity? The word was with Jesus??
@Julián Babilonia So In the beginning was Jesus and Jesus was with the trinity and Jesus was the trinity??? That doesn’t work In the beginning was Jesus and Jesus was with the Father and Jesus was the Father?? That doesn’t work God means the same thing both times in the verse
My favorite verse in the Bible is John 16:33: "I have spoken these things to you so that in me you might have peace; in the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world," second only to "the joy of the Lord is my strength," - Nehemiah 8:10.
Dr. Scott Hahn is a CONVERT who helped us more & more; he is serving the church generusly; imagine such intelligent human been offered his to sons to become priests one day to serve mother church as he did as a best example I can see while our beloved church going through crises after crises. MAY THE LORD BLESS 🙏 U ABANDUNTLY. - AND YOU ARE ALL ON MY PRAYER LIST DAILY. Saba K. and I was born in Middle East, now Christian CATHOLIC & Canadian.
I agree! His portrayal of Jesus is awesome! It is exactly what I imagined Jesus to be! I am a devout catholic with what I considered gifted with huge Faith but since the Chosen started - My personal relationship with Jesus has really increased substantially!! I love The Chosen! I have also been to the Holy Land and I find the locations to be like those I visited! Its all so real to me. I pray the Lord will continue to bless then in every way. Blessings!!!
Jonathan your portrayal of Jesus is so heartfelt and real. You speak of being a born again Catholic it appears to me you are what we called in the 80's a Charismatic Catholic. Scott Hahn was at Franciscan University of Steubenville when I received my degrees from there. He was a true blessing to many.
Jonathan Roumie is awesome, he did such a great job portraying our King. He portrays Jesus in His humanity in a way no movie has ever done, that human side is what makes his portrayal of Jesus so real, great job!!!
"Do you believe impossible things can happen?" God couldn't have chosen a better man to play his son in this series. I got a little sneak peak of season 2 last night and I'm ready for the live stream!!
This was the very first time I’ve been brought down in tears. Jesus is what it’s all about and we actually felt him I’ve never ever had this feeling come over me. Jesus was in the same room with us. I am not a bible reader or Bible freak, I don’t read the Bible I was raised in a catholic family, church school and was a altar boy and the chosen one reconnected me with Jesus. I never stop believing nor will stop believing in him. He is our lord our king. I believe in God, Creator of heaven and earth.. I accept Jesus, is my lord and savior I believe in him, and only him.❤
I had my “born again” experience many years ago in 1991. I walked into the confessional one way and came out another, forever changed and touched by the fire of God’s love. I repented of my sins and gave my life to Jesus and became a new person in him, my life forever changed. I walked out saying and believing in my heart, “Jesus is Lord”. Suddenly, it all came together for me, his death on the cross for us and who he was and it began a lifelong quest of seeking him and getting to know him and changing my whole focus. About 6 months ago, I was on the train and ended up in a conversation with a lapsed Catholic who actually was now an atheist. He began to gather after speaking to me that my faith was very important to me and he made the statement, are you born again or something to that effect. When I answered yes and then he found out that I was also Catholic, he insisted on saying that I was not and that it was impossible to be Catholic and born again! It was an intense hour ride, started off okay as we began to talk politics. He was very passionate but once he found out I was Conservative, his demeanor towards me changed dramatically and then once religión came into our conversation, well that was it! Kind of sad as he felt like he was the authority in all these subjects and claimed he loves talking to people but once he found out my views were a bit different, well that sure changed things! You can absolutely be Catholic and be born again. There is no other way to describe what I experienced.
@@MrsYoung-in9ov .. it’s not me; it was the person o was speaking to who kept insisting a Catholic could not be born again he was an atheist or perhaps an agnostic, so he had no idea.
@@rosamariann I agree with you totally on the term "born again Catholic" because it's what I feel has been happening to me in the last few months. Probably due to the pandemic, it's made me grow closer to God. It's an incredible feeling. One moment Im just going through the motions and doing the bare minimum, not living a fully God centered life, and doing as I please, making it easy for the devil to keep tricking me. Now I try to actually and truly honor God in everything I do, like my life is a prayer. I can see sin more clearly (our culture is full of it.) And the Holy Spirit has given me lenses to truly understand scripture in my daily bible readings (before scripture just overwhelmed me.) I thank God He has let me live long enough to go through this "conversion" in my lifetime, before it's too late to repent and fully accept Jesus Christ with all my heart. This can happen even for Catholics. Have a blessed day! ☺️❤️🙏🏽
@@GardenMinistry. ...aww; that’s so heartwarming to hear. It’s really what it’s all about; turning our hearts to God and accepting his awesome gift of salvation through his son, Jesus. Once, it happens, you know without a doubt, you are “born again”. And you will never be the same again❤️
I hope this doesn't seem... weird. But do you mind If I ask a question about Catholicism? I don't think its a disrespectful question, but I wouldn't know. 🙂
His presentation of Jesus (facial expressions, etc.) so often reminds me of good priests I have met in my life. I pray that he has the courage to insist on the true presence of the Eucharist being included in future scripts.
He is an actor playing a part He is getting rich of this show This show is highly inaccurate and we should never watch anything with our emotions which will mislead us People are acting like Jonathan is Jesus but he is not
GIGANTIC FAN OF DR. HAHN HERE! Thanks for having Jonathan as an interviewee, he has been absolutely mind blowing in his performance on The Chosen ... as have so many others! I am so grateful for you, Dr. Hahn. Back in the days of cassette tapes and a sales job which kept me on the road hundreds of miles a day, I can't tell you how many times I played yours and Mrs. Hahn's testimony. I could recite it word for word. Long story short, when my dad died unexpectedly in January of 1999, I actually introduced myself to the priest presiding at my father's funeral, as being a "Born-Again Catholic" ... I thought I was SO creative but now see that the Good Lord wants this for everyone. Thank you both for a very, very enjoyable interview. Hope to see you both "on the other side"! Love, Sean
Jonathan, you have honestly given me a whole new view of Jesus....God has spoken to my heart and moved me through your portrayal of Him. I can't wait for Season 3 & 4 & 5....don't stop! lol. God bless you Jonathan....He could not have "Chosen" anyone better to portray Him than you! Thank you!
Johnnton seems to radiate humbleness in his persona, I saw the Chosen and I felt he portrayed Jesus in a such a way I felt the if he was actually touched by the Holy Spirit and the Chosen as a whole.
Born again Christian, everyone said to watch this. One episode and I was hooked and now I am awaiting season 4 because this role you play is so important, The Chosen is going viral without major media !!! And "Coincedences" - I've had 10 or 12 that got me into Church and when I felt the holy spirit enter - nothing has been the same. Please keep up the work! You are changing lives!!
@@soyabeancurd3113Yes much different. Roman catholics believes the church saves you and Christ is not enough which is not biblical! Christians 100% follow scripture.
@@Victor-E-R What scripture did the Christians follow during the first 300-plus years of Christianity when their was no canon of the Bible, and no printing press to make scripture widely available to the people? Did our Lord abandon those first Christians since they had no Bible to guide them? Of course He didn't. Catholics believe that Jesus saves us, and He gave us his Church to guide us. Why? Because the Bible tells us: "And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it." Catholics also believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God, and so we believe, like the Bible teaches us in 1 Tim 3:15, that the Church is the pillar and foundation (or bullwark) of truth. Since the beginning of Christianity, it was and is the Church that guides the people of God.
I've been a huge fan of The Chosen since I discovered it a year ago. I am a freelance student of the faith and take care to feed my soul with media that is true to what the Catholic Church teaches. I've been mostly all in with this show, but cautiously, knowing Dallas' father is the author of the extremely popular, but anti-Catholic book series, "Left Behind". Season one was great, with no hitches. And it was such a relief to watch Dr. Hahn's interviews with Jonathan Roumie and how excited he was over the show! He even went so far as to say he had found in the creators of the show, people who are more in tune with the Gospels than he is! Then comes season 2. I won't give anything away, but I felt the way one scene presented Mother Mary strayed from what we have been taught. I know it's not dogma, but at one point she says that both she and Joseph had had moments of doubt that Jesus was the Son of God. I honestly don't know if this is a point of contention with the Catholic Church. Some people were upset at Mary discussing the birth experience in a candid, way, saying "he needed to be cleaned". Both of these are pretty small things, I think, but some on TH-cam are saying it's blasphemous. This scene has not changed my stance and feelings for this show. But it did serve as a reminder that this is a human endeavor (heroic, but still human) and to enjoy it as great entertainment and spiritually inspiring - as it has truly helped my prayer life and rosary. I hope y'all will re-interview Jonathan - or get Dallas on, maybe. We've got five more seasons to go. I pray the creators will be driven by the Holy Spirit and our Blessed Mother - and counseled by good, strong priests like Father Mark Goring (he would be great!) or theologians like Dr. Scott Hahn!! So, St. Paul Center - and Dr. Hahn - what do y'all think of the scene?
He chooses and uses the humble and you are humble - you were there and you said Hineni (here I am I am ready) - the lord uses those available and ready not those who would feel themselves 'worthy', this is what you were conceived and born for........bless you
That was a beautiful interview. Jonathan is a man who has been given a great gift, to bring the truth of Jesus in a very real, very profound way to people through 'The Chosen'... As an aside. The ignorance, animosity and to be frank, stupidity expressed in some of the comments on here about Catholics and the Catholic Church is just staggering...
No kidding! Just been reading through a bit. It's so sad. As you said, there's such a vicious loop of ignorance/animosity/stupidity that gets recycled constantly in 'Born Again' circles about Jesus's Church. They don't even know they are attacking Jesus when they're attacking the Catholic Church.
When Jesus was on Earth, people struggled with his divinity. Now He’s ascended, we struggle with his humanity. Jonathan brought a great underscoring to this much needed attribute
Profound
I was literally saying this the other day to a friend of mine. ❤️🙏🏼
To a believer, that isn't hard. It's Jesus' availability to us that people often miss. In his divinity and humanity, both are always present to us, truly open to him.
Wow!
That's pretty deep
In 2004 as a young Christian I asked God how He felt about people who rejected His message and turned away from Him. One hour later three huge, intense waves of extremely deep grief washed over me, lasting at least half an hour. I have never before or since ever, felt that massive amount of personal grief. Every last tear in my body flowed out and my nasal passages also ran dry. What happened? I simply asked the Lord how He felt about those who rejected Him. He gave me an extremely graphic and personal answer one hour later. He doesn't want to lose one precious soul to the enemy and grieves deeply for each lost one. Ps, My tee shirt was soaked with my tears and my spaghetti dinner went cold. Ask the Lord into your life, He loves each one, and sheds tears over the lost. Your life will never be the same again, He will bless, guide, strengthen and protect every one of his precious children. I know, I experienced His immense grief over personal rejection. He longs to see your face, not your back. Please don't dissapoint Him, you will never regret that first step in His direction. God bless you. 😇
Wow wow wow🥺that is so incredibly profound. The Holy Spirit let you feel that grief😖thanks for sharing that🙏🏾There’s a quote I love from C.S. Lewis - “die before you die, there’s no chance after”. He wants us all, so so desperately🥲🥲what a God we serve😊
Thank you so much for sharing that experience. I have cried so many tears, but not as much and as intense as you had that day. God knows what we can handle. I am too emotional to handle that kind of grief so intensely. But having a relationship with Jesus Christ has made all the difference. Jesus is my LIFE! He is everything to me... Thank you so much for sharing. If anyone that isn't saved reads this, just give Jesus Christ one chance. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
🥹🥺🥺🥺🥺
Amen. There were a few times while praying I also felt a deep sadness like how Jesus must have felt because of what we do here on Earth. It must have been way milder than yours but feeling it really puts things in another perspective. Lord have mercy on us. 🙏
Jonathan's portrayal of Jesus is so special. He has made Jesus an 'everyday man who laughed, danced, joked with his friends and loved his mother'.
Jesus não é e nunca será um homem normal. Ele é o Rei do Universo que merece toda honra e glória.
I got two books one on humility but it’s not the one that you’re thinking of and then the other one the lost art and convalescenve

@@edithhewson7208 very unchristian of you to judge. Who cares protestant, Catholic or man made hallelujah throw your hands in the air so called Christians, Jesus is with him. You think Jesus is judging?!

@@rebeccashearer6057 what is sad?
I would say It's in his eyes, they seem gentle, kind and forgiving, they sparkle.
This guy was born to “play” Jesus. Get over the sinful person syndrome, yes, every day , with acts of contrition and the Litany of humility. God doesn’t always choose the best but, it’s you He chose . So? Be grateful! “ Who is like unto God! No one!”
Big puppy dog eyes and he’s compassionate.
YES
Easy now.. he plays yeshua, he's not yeshua.. the image isn't what matters. It's the character
Do you watch the Chosen/Jonathan Roumie to build relationship with God or fall in love with an actor?
I played baby Jesus as a 3 month old in December 1980 Christmas play. I hear I did an amazing performance, well behaved and quiet lol! God uses us in amazing ways. It’s an honor to represent the King of Kings, I could never be His equal!
Hahahah that’s awesome. Made me laugh. God bless u
Adorable 😭❤️
Cool. My daughter also played Jesus as a newborn (just for a photo while she was asleep). She was under two months old. Since you were three months old you must have a September birthday like she and I do.
@@amandadangerfieldpiano almost, aug 27
Aww how cute!
Brothers and sisters...we are either Born Again (John 3:3) or we're not. The day we truely cry out to Jesus Christ in repentance, and acknowledge that His work on the cross was more then enough to atone for our sin, then we will realize we can speak to Him DIRECTLY, and commune with Him daily. Being Born Again is an amazing supernatural miracle that occurs one time, and the day His grace comes upon us, we will be Born of the blessed Holy Spirit. Repent wherever you are today, and turn to Christ ALONE for Salvation. ❤
I am really amazed at how The Chosen is praised by Catholics and Protestants both. As a faithful Catholic revert - having spent 8 years as a Presbyterian and still grateful for that time - and having spent years studying now, all of us Christians need to set aside our differences. Not that the differences are unimportant - they are very important to discuss openly and honestly. But in this evil day we need to unite in our Love for Christ and FIGHT the evil all around us.
Even on this forum I find Christians lying about what each other believe... ENOUGH! Listen to each other! LOVE one another as Christ loves you!
Is not set apart your differences but Jesus clearly says you will know them by their fruits. He also says in Matthew 25 that many will come and say, Lord in Your name we did this and did that but Jesus will respond, Depart from Me I do not know You! Jesus is looking for hearts willing to obey Him. He is looking for a relationship with Him. He want people Truly to get to know Him.
John 14:15: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” He wants obedience and obedience to His bible word.
Matthew 15:8-9 These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their hearts is far from Me.
God is sooo real, they are many who are not willing to let goo for the cause of the Cross
Amen I 100% agree with this and I love you Steven. With the love of Christ I wich you the best and God bless.
I'll be honest we all need to think of ourselves first and foremost as Christians, that is, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. We may have some differences in exactly how we worship, but what is important is that we all have our faith in our lord savior, and only through him can we be saved.
We must be biblically correct....no ignorant, man has created the doctrine differences
Amen my friend! Christian Fundamentalism has destroyd my Life but Jesus Christ alone has restored me!
I just love how he expertly portrays the humanity of Jesus in a way I never thought possible. It's incredible, and makes you desire a relationship with Jesus more than anything in the world.
He is an amazing actor his acting as Jesus is awesome I love the series he was also in Jesus revolution as Lonnie freebie excellent
Absolutely
As a convert from Buddhism to Catholism 34yrs ago. The more I pray and study the Holy Bible and Catechism of the Catholic Church, the more it becomes ALIVE in me and around me, this world We Live in together!! WOW, God IS Gracious beyond intellectual understanding! His Love IS Truly with us; Body, blood, soul and Divinity, Amen 🙏
Brother's and Sisters take this seriously with Love, Profound reverence and surrender, Amen 🙏.
Amen
Study the Bible not any church
They all emaniates from satan
Bless you ❤
God bless you!❤😊
Please remember there are many of us who love Jesus who are not Roman Catholic. And that’s alright.
It’s about unity. Being Catholic is about being universal and believing in one. We need unity among all Christians in these trying times 🙏🏻😇❤️
@james yes we do brother!! Let’s all pray for eachother!!
We do. But you know Christians is the true way? It’s not religion, its a relationship with God.
While seemingly good, a ONE WORLD religion is most evil as can be imagined, unless of course ALL are unified that Jesus is the son of the one true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Savior of the world.
According to scripture that is NOT going to happen.
Jonathan's portrayal of Jesus, in my humble opinion, is beyond phenomenal. His eyes are everything! Everything that Jesus feels is in Jonathan's eyes. The scene where Jesus talks with Nicodemus and the scene with Little James. Watch those scenes and watch Jonathan's eyes. His mouth is speaking the lines, but his eyes convey the love and compassion that Jesus surely felt for all of humanity, especially those in his inner circle.
Well stated. I agree 100%
The phariseeism in me(the little that I didn't know was still there lol) withheld me from watching The Chosen until a few weeks ago when the Holy Spirit led me to watch it and Jonathan's performance confirmed it. So true what you're saying about his eyes! Of course NO ONE could even match Jesus, but you can truly see the love of God in Jonathan's eyes. It is so clear that God's Hand is in this.
I've watched a few interviews and videos with Dallas and their sincerity and humility is so obvious.
Many, many people have stated that The Chosen led them to read their Bibles. While I was already deep into the Word, The Chosen has brought to me a newfound humility that I cannot explain and brings me to tears.
God is SO GRACIOUS AND SO MERCIFUL!
I'm very grateful for this project of Dallas, Jonathan, and team.
Yes, thanks for bringing this in. The love and tenderness in his eyes are as close to how I have "tasted" the Lord.
@@abbafatherswarriorprincess3627 Happy to read the line, 'when the Holy Spirit led me to watch'. Same here. He led me to watch this and encourages me to share this series with as many.
Thanks for sharing.
@@GinzaGeorge thank you too for sharing this ☺. It blesses me to know there are more brothers and sisters sharing the same experience. Father is SO WONDERFUL to us!
As a born-again Christian that happens to be protestant, I loved Jonathan's expression 'unity in community.' I also loved the wonderful story of how God had been preparing him as a youth for this role and the significance this role would have in his adult life (not to mention the impact it would have on thousands, perhaps even millions of others!). That's Jesus-- the One who sees us even before we are even aware of Him. (John 1:48-50).
Jonathan Roumie is, indeed, a winsome actor. A born-again Catholic - a deeper conversion.! Wow! That says it all!! Love this interview.
What is a born again catholic? That’s an oxymoron!!
When you become born again, you do not become a denomination. You become a Christ follower and true believer.
@Olia Krist The Roman Catholic Church is not a denomination. Secondly, being born again is akin to putting on a robe, or as the bible puts it, a spotless garment, NOT a series of good feelings that are meant to serve self. St. John of the cross explains this quite clearly in his writings.
@Olia Krist Why would I consult a false teacher about anything. No, your chosen authority has YOU in darkness. This is why you cannot present any argument, just feelings. If you have any substance, please present it.
@Olia Krist Do you have an argument to present? Perhaps a quote? a snippet of video? Anything that caught your attention, rather than how you feel about a subject? Because this is the very reason why you are to avoid false teachers. They manipulate you with a feeling and not facts.
We have been fervently praying for the Unity of various Churches for so long and brethren let's keep praying for this noble and divine intention
While seemingly good, a ONE WORLD religion is most evil as can be imagined, unless of course ALL are unified that Jesus is the son of the one true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Savior of the world.
According to scripture that is NOT going to happen. 5:36
I watch the Chosen every weekend. It recharges me for the week ahead. :)
😄
Read your Bible
Enjoy this show but read your Bible at a ratio of 100-1 Bible being the 100. This show is encouraging but it is not Gods word, nor does it hold sufficient direction and guidance for a Christians life.
@@housefamily9784 , both are great to do and pray.
Every day here!
I can relate to everything Jonathan says. Feeling called, being raised Catholic, questioning my faith, searching for guidance and returning to Jesus and God more closely than ever. I also experienced clinical depression and anxiety throughout this period of time. I prayed when I didn’t know if I still believed in anything and God never failed me. My path was changed for the better because I was open and listened for God during my pain. I believe that He places opportunities in our path, but we must listen and choose them. I can’t say I am Catholic anymore, but fully Christian and able to help others with their mental health and spiritual journeys. I feel blessed. Thank you Jonathan for your wise words.
Love the image of Divine Mercy. Thank you for making Jesus somewhat real for millions of people
I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR WHAT JONATHAN HAS DONE IN THE CHOSEN....MY FAITH HAS BEEN TRULY RENEWED
Jonathan portrayal of Jesus is outstanding!
Jesus was very humble servant but serious about his teachings which is beautifully displayed in Jonathan’s acting 🎭
I’m at the point of tears when I see Jonathan action on Jesus because ai strongly feel this would have been very similar to how Jesus would have carried himself here on earth.
he is the realest Actor Jesus I have seen. We all love Jim Cavizel but as a human person likable Jesus this guy played a great Jesus. He made Jesus as someone who is human. its hard for me to articulate
One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen from two people I admire. God bless you both!
Jonathan is just a man like the rest of us. His portrayal of Jesus is nice in my opinion, but of course nothing to the real Jesus. Again in my opinion, I stress Jesus was completely different in his looks and authority. When he spoke to you, you really knew that authority exuded from him. When you know something, or someone is it not a fact? So is it not a fact that you yourself exist. Similar in many ways, but not in many other ways.

Thank you for making Jesus Sacred Humanity more relatable, accessible, and lovable.🙏💖
I too, consider myself a born again Catholic. I believe it is one of the basic “aspects” of Catholicism we miss out on teaching: a PERSONAL relationship with Jesus Christ. I seriously didn’t know it was possible until establishing beautiful friendships with my friends.
I have a question for you two beautiful people: Do you actually realize the TREMENDOUS CONTRIUBUTION you both have made to our catholic faith?
May God continue working in your hearts to keep you evangelizing.
Our prayers are with you!
Hands down the best interpretation of Jesus ever! I am amazed by Jonathan’s grace and humility while portraying the most important person, not only to the world, but to me personally. Thank you for bringing this portrayal of our Lord so much honor and dignity.
I’m loving all the rosaries.
He was born to portray Jesus. What a special calling/anointing from heaven.
Right!
Loved it when you said "born again Catholic ". I too consider myself a born again Catholic and I want more than anything to be closer to the Trinity and look forward to receiving the Eucharist at Mass. Thank you.
I love my Catholic faith. ❤
You may not know brother, but your portraying Jesus in the Chosen has changed many many lives. God bless your simplicity and humility.
Jonathan, you are here in this very place because no one else can do what you are doing. No one else can deliver the message you are delivering. No one else can be the empty vessel God will use to bring people home, to His heart. Blessings to you for being that open vessel!

Your work on The Chosen is nothing less than marvelous. Being a person of Catholic ascendency myself I can relate to the experience of knowing that passion for Christ that is described. Having fallen and succumbed to sin, and becoming a loathsome creature I now, too, can relate to the beauty and wonder of the forgiveness Christ has given even to a wretched creature like myself. Seeing how Jesus is as a man, as one of us, helps me to personalize my walk with our Saviour Jesus as one of those he rose back to life in God’s will… …at least as much as can be done with one such as myself. I love the energy “The Chosen” has put into my faith and how it brings Jesus to life for me. It helps me to “see” what and know why I pray. Thanks for a lot of truly great work.
This guy is so great and feels very real to me
I love Jonathans portrayal of Jesus. I think it’s the best one I’ve ever seen!
Because they made him real and human. We don't get the laughter in the Bible, few tears, but it's the conversations the friendships that make someone a friend. Dallas took our imaginations, or Ignatius practices and put it together for The Chosen.
The writers did a marvelous job... kudos to Dallas and his team. Jonathan is the perfect actor for the role of JESUS. I love THE CHOSEN..writers, crew and actors. The humanity of all the Bible characters shine through. God's blessings on you all and on The WHOLE SHOW...,(past and future seasons and episodes). Love you Dallas and love how you coach and encourage the whole team ❤️❤️❤️
The Chosen has brought Jesus to life. I'm wonderful what our Jewish friends think about it.
I'm loving this video. I have the faith to believe that what we are saying is true. I can't wait for Season 4. Go team!!!
I want to share about my near-death-experience together with my deceased daughter. It's a NDE story about the way our lives are judged and measured and analyzed by ETERNITY. It's about the strength of forgiveness that can change everything for the better, even on the other side. It's a story of hope and blessings to everyone who is looking for a PROOF OF ETERNITY, and that's the title of my book PROOF OF ETERNITY by Alba Monn. It's a story of hope and blessings to everyone who is mourning about the loss of a loved one, especially for parents who have lost their own children. I came to testify that ETERNITY is a fact, that our loved ones live on on the other side, that they want for us to be comforted and completely consoled by the truth, because the truth will set you free.
Blessings to everyone who reads this!
I was a born again Catholic back in 1973 - Even before Time Magazine called us "Charismatics". We had weekly prayer meetings at the churches, believing and experiencing the gifts of Holy Spirit. An amazing time.
We started in 1980 and still do -
Me, too in 1974!
it has been an amazing trip that started for me in 1985. I am always hoping that others get that truly deep experience in being an instrument for God the Father, experiencing Christ within, and being led by the Holy Spirit. Challenging, but fun.
Your portrayal of Our Lord could not be any better. You affirm my vision of Christ as a friend and loving brother. Jesus, who is absolute mercy; Who is the Mercy of God incarnate, comes to life in The Chosen. Thank you and the whole cast and crew for bringing the Gospel of Love to life!

I never practiced the walk carrying a cross. Not once. I also don’t know any other preteen kids that have. You are The Chosen’s chosen for a reason that is not of this world. I think it is wonderful that you had that preteen experience to want to do that. Also that it was given to you by God to want to act it out, even then. He knows the desires of your heart. He is fulfilling them in your life and letting you act out the ministry of Jesus in this way that will guide so many to the Lord. Thanks for being obedient to God!
Beautiful, as an early childhood Catholic upbringing, came to be born again at 33 after a very low point in my life! I have been wanting desperately to find a way to make it clear to other Catholics ,so thankful God is using your life to lead them into full relationship with God through Christ and Holy Spirit born again conversion! Praise God!!
I totally agree! After I had watched the first episode I just wanted to know Jesus more! Thank you for your performance that makes Him so close to us!

@Jennifer Tippin no it’s definitely not in the Bible! And no, it’s not another religion. I was baptized into Novos Ordo Catholicism and became agnostic.

Now I feel home. Peace be with you @Jennifer Tippin

You will then be sealed by His Holy Spirit The bible says he is faithful and just to do that.There is no other name in this earth that you can be saved by.The there is power in the mighty name of Jesus. He will grant you everlasting life is a free gift of God. Anyone who is in Christ Jesus is a new creation old things are passed away behold all things are brand new...Read John 3 in your Bible😉 God Bless you!
He really did know you before you were born Jonathan blessings to you all today
How else would HE have been! So adorabel!
I love you Jesus Christ
My husband and I just finished all 3 seasons of the Chosen. Everytime I see him,, I felt Jesus s love and got very emotional with it. It is an amazing feeling. His eyes are kind and caring. Jonathan emerges into Jesus so deeply and it impacts our life. Thank you for your amazing acting. We are forever grateful.
Ohhh Jonathan...thank you for your testimony your honesty...your passion to play the grace of Jesus in the Chosen...you asked why and how you ended up here...it’s because you are The Chosen... Dallas Jenkins was led by God to Choose YOU... I wear my Chosen shirt proudly and am glad to tell everyone to watch this ..🥰🥰
All those who truly follow Jesus are the Chosen.
All who truly follow Jesus are the Chosen.
Love this production wonderful. I am a Orthodox Christian beautiful show wow can't wait for season 2. Great actor doing a phenomenal job very handsome man.
Watching Jonathan Roumie as Jesus Christ is so effective. After I watched The Chose, I watch and watch all over again just to see the face of Jonathan, to me he is the perfect guy who plays Jesus Christ. The emotions and the face, he is so much like of our Jesus Christ.
Im still a catholic a believe god isgood a watches you have a special gift thankyou.we need you did yhis a your director thanks.
Jonathan ,dobrze że Jesteś, Chwała Panu Bogu.
A beautiful testimony of a seed planted in childhood, watered by the spirit and given time in the winter seasons for the roots to go deep. Thank you Jesus for the great love you have shown your children, especially for the holding of the vision in our dear brother Jonathan.
very well said!
My favorite show ever!!!! My whole family rocking a shorts, sweaters and hats. We gotta support them! Glad bless them all!!! I used to be a Catholic but I’m a born again Christian. Thank God! The Bible says not to worship any other idols or other Gods. That means the Virgin Mary too. We can’t worship her. I respect her and she’s a very special woman. She was chosen. I’m sure she’s in heaven with a huge crown! love Jesus mom. But I only worship the father, son and the Holy Spirit..
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊
@@jasonbryan9056 blessed! Thanks To Jesus! He is the one that saved my marriage and my family. Feeling so blessed!
God bless you brother!
@@nancycali4644 Where are you from if i may ask?
Mary brings us to Jesus and is our strongest advocate in heaven :)
She is not God but she is - after Himself - the most precious He has given us
It's not about worshipping her, it's about being guided by her towards a closer relationship with God, she intervenes for us
(and after all He can't refuse when His mother asks for something)
Beautifully said Jonathan...God has preparing you for such a time as this! Using you to play out the gospel when our world needs it desperately!! God Bless, Protect you and America!!🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✝️✝️❤❤
I was born and raised atheist/secular. Recently I've heard the call of God. My mother and girlfriend are both protestant, so naturally I tried that because I'm new to faith. After learning that there are over 30,000 different denominations, I started to give up. I have given up on God over and over again, because it's hard for me to accept it due to how I was raised. But everytime before I give up, I get drawn into catholicism. So drawn in that it changes my way of thinking, feeling, and experiencing the world around me. But I usually gave that up too, because of what others will say (misunderstand) about the catholics. But now I really truly believe this is the path God is directing me towards. I still wrestle with God sometimes, but I think for the most part he has won this fight. But in a way, loving God is a win win situation. Now I'm clean from addiction, I'm focusing on living a more christ like life, and best of all I can finally feel the presence of God.
most protestants reject Catholicism because they cannot accept obedience and trust in the Church's authority established by Jesus Himself. Rejecting Catholicism and her teachings is rejecting God's authority. Mostly out of pride, they prefer to side with Judas than to submit to Peter's authority. You might disagree or dislike a Pope, Bishop or Priest...or a particular Catholic dogma...but the authority of such individual or dogma does not come from men but from the Holy Spirit. Even an evil, twisted pope, as some that have existed through History, was appointed under the authority of the Church. The misdeeds and errors of such bad pope (or bishop or priest) are God's will, and as the Church history has proven over and over, great Godly things have actually come from such evil events.
@@jayschwartz6131 I am really impressed by your level of stupidity, justifying all the evil that your church has created for centuries, the holy inquisition, the holy wars, the rape of minors ... understand the catholic church was not created by Jesus, read, find out, do not take out sentimental conclusions.
Yes dear brother! The way you love John 3:16, and understand it's meaning, you have been born of the Spirit for sure. You can't unsee what you've seen! In you own words. Well said.
Johnathan is so funny when he says he wonders why he is given this opportunity and he infers he's a regular human ( a flawed sinner like we all are ).
HE WAS BORN FOR THIS PURPOSE !
It is essential that he be a real Christian because the fact that he is brings this beautiful grace through him .
I hope people don't pressure him too much. He is a wonderful actor and God has already used him in a very powerful way. Praying for this incredible project called "The Chosen ".
Each actor in this project seems to be inspired choices for each role..
I'd just like to mention I enjoy the actress who plays Mother Mary. The interchange between them is natural and enjoyable to watch. She has given me a fresh picture of Mary !
I'm a born again Catholic. I absolutely love this show. Bless you all.
I wonder what you mean by " Born again catholic" ?
One is either born again in Christ or one is not.
When one is born again of water and spirit one is no longer roman Catholic or baptist or any such thing.
@@msf2126 I mean I have returned to the church after being lost not that complicated.
@@bluschke52 then its best to return to JESUS.which is never dependant on man made organisations.
@@J.J.V irrelevant. Joining any church is not being born again. And it is impossible to serve the acc and the lord JESUS. Because the rcc encourages and teaches things that oppose the lord Jesus.
Any confidence that you'll be saved because your Roman Catholic is a FALSE hope.
I have been waiting for over 3 years now for god to open a door for me. I feel like Jonathan that god has been preparing me my whole life for what is coming next!!
Jonathan is capturing the essence of Jesus in The Chosen more than any other actor that I have seen play the role of Jesus. I believe he was born to play this role (I am in my 70s). He is such a humble man and I am sure many have come to know and accept Jesus as their personal Savior through watching The Chosen. I'm looking forward to Season 4. May God bless Jonathan and all the actors in this series and keep them safe.
Jonathan, your there because he wants you there to depict his human side, so people could identify with him in this world today. I'm sure you've heard we are living in the last days, and we need an actor like you to draw more people to him. My friend you have become A fisher of men and women. Just like the actor that plays Peter in the Chosen series. God Bless you my friend.
The gospel is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM!
Repent and believe the gospel! Follow Jesus’ teachings!
Jesus is going to return and set up the kingdom of God ON THE EARTH! God’s government ON THE EARTH! The Messiah will resurrect his people! The destiny of the Messiah and his people is to be ON THE EARTH! The renewed restored earth! God also dwelling with them! Rev 21

@Julián Babilonia
No not at all
The word was with God
What does GOD mean there?
Who is “the word” with??
The word was with the Father?
The word was with the trinity?
The word was with Jesus??
@Julián Babilonia
Can you answer the question?
The word was with God
What does GOD mean there?
Who is “the word” with??
The word was with the Father?
The word was with the trinity?
The word was with Jesus??
@Julián Babilonia
So
In the beginning was Jesus and Jesus was with the trinity and Jesus was the trinity???
That doesn’t work
In the beginning was Jesus and Jesus was with the Father and Jesus was the Father??
That doesn’t work
God means the same thing both times in the verse
@Julián Babilonia , the only history I need is in the Bible.
My favorite verse in the Bible is John 16:33: "I have spoken these things to you so that in me you might have peace; in the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world," second only to "the joy of the Lord is my strength," - Nehemiah 8:10.
Best Jesus I’ve ever seen. 😊
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊
Dr. Scott Hahn is a CONVERT who helped us more & more; he is serving the church generusly; imagine such intelligent human been offered his to sons to become priests one day to serve mother church as he did as a best example I can see while our beloved church going through crises after crises. MAY THE LORD BLESS 🙏 U ABANDUNTLY. - AND YOU ARE ALL ON MY PRAYER LIST DAILY. Saba K. and I was born in Middle East, now Christian CATHOLIC & Canadian.
Great work Jonathan. We appreciate you ! You were lost and now found :) we have all been there, some more than others!
Grace is the word. Love Jonathan for portraying His Lord (ours) so gracefully. I have no words.
Reborn of The Spirit. ❤️
I agree! His portrayal of Jesus is awesome! It is exactly what I imagined Jesus to be! I am a devout catholic with what I considered gifted with huge Faith but since the Chosen started - My personal relationship with Jesus has really increased substantially!! I love The Chosen! I have also been to the Holy Land and I find the locations to be like those I visited! Its all so real to me. I pray the Lord will continue to bless then in every way. Blessings!!!
Jonathan your portrayal of Jesus is so heartfelt and real. You speak of being a born again Catholic it appears to me you are what we called in the 80's a Charismatic Catholic. Scott Hahn was at Franciscan University of Steubenville when I received my degrees from there. He was a true blessing to
many.
Jonathan Roumie is awesome, he did such a great job portraying our King. He portrays Jesus in His humanity in a way no movie has ever done, that human side is what makes his portrayal of Jesus so real, great job!!!
I assumed, after watching The Chosen, that Jonathan was Protestant. It's so providential that he's actually Catholic!
Along with Jim Caviezel!
"Do you believe impossible things can happen?" God couldn't have chosen a better man to play his son in this series. I got a little sneak peak of season 2 last night and I'm ready for the live stream!!
This was the very first time I’ve been brought down in tears. Jesus is what it’s all about and we actually felt him I’ve never ever had this feeling come over me. Jesus was in the same room with us. I am not a bible reader or Bible freak, I don’t read the Bible I was raised in a catholic family, church school and was a altar boy and the chosen one reconnected me with Jesus. I never stop believing nor will stop believing in him. He is our lord our king. I believe in God, Creator of heaven and earth.. I accept Jesus, is my lord and savior I believe in him, and only him.❤
May God bless you Jonathan!!!
✝️🙏🕊️✝️🙏🕊️✝️
Jonathan! You are blessed among men - reaching SO many people through the Chosen!
I had my “born again” experience many years ago in 1991. I walked into the confessional one way and came out another, forever changed and touched by the fire of God’s love. I repented of my sins and gave my life to Jesus and became a new person in him, my life forever changed. I walked out saying and believing in my heart, “Jesus is Lord”. Suddenly, it all came together for me, his death on the cross for us and who he was and it began a lifelong quest of seeking him and getting to know him and changing my whole focus. About 6 months ago, I was on the train and ended up in a conversation with a lapsed Catholic who actually was now an atheist. He began to gather after speaking to me that my faith was very important to me and he made the statement, are you born again or something to that effect. When I answered yes and then he found out that I was also Catholic, he insisted on saying that I was not and that it was impossible to be Catholic and born again! It was an intense hour ride, started off okay as we began to talk politics. He was very passionate but once he found out I was Conservative, his demeanor towards me changed dramatically and then once religión came into our conversation, well that was it! Kind of sad as he felt like he was the authority in all these subjects and claimed he loves talking to people but once he found out my views were a bit different, well that sure changed things! You can absolutely be Catholic and be born again. There is no other way to describe what I experienced.
How would you define born again? Why would some say a Catholic could not be born again?
@@MrsYoung-in9ov .. it’s not me; it was the person o was speaking to who kept insisting a Catholic could not be born again he was an atheist or perhaps an agnostic, so he had no idea.
@@rosamariann I agree with you totally on the term "born again Catholic" because it's what I feel has been happening to me in the last few months. Probably due to the pandemic, it's made me grow closer to God. It's an incredible feeling. One moment Im just going through the motions and doing the bare minimum, not living a fully God centered life, and doing as I please, making it easy for the devil to keep tricking me. Now I try to actually and truly honor God in everything I do, like my life is a prayer. I can see sin more clearly (our culture is full of it.) And the Holy Spirit has given me lenses to truly understand scripture in my daily bible readings (before scripture just overwhelmed me.) I thank God He has let me live long enough to go through this "conversion" in my lifetime, before it's too late to repent and fully accept Jesus Christ with all my heart. This can happen even for Catholics. Have a blessed day! ☺️❤️🙏🏽
@@GardenMinistry. ...aww; that’s so heartwarming to hear. It’s really what it’s all about; turning our hearts to God and accepting his awesome gift of salvation through his son, Jesus. Once, it happens, you know without a doubt, you are “born again”. And you will never be the same again❤️
I hope this doesn't seem... weird. But do you mind If I ask a question about Catholicism? I don't think its a disrespectful question, but I wouldn't know. 🙂
Amazing human being who has brought Jesus so close to our hearts that is joyous and painful at the same time ❤️🙏🏻
Roman Catholics are NOT Christians. These people need to get saved.
Greetings from Ruth living in Italy God bless you all thank you thanks
My good friend is a born again Catholic. She loves the Lord with all her heart.
It’s not about religion, it’s about Jesus 🙌🏻, I hope people understand that.
His presentation of Jesus (facial expressions, etc.) so often reminds me of good priests I have met in my life. I pray that he has the courage to insist on the true presence of the Eucharist being included in future scripts.
Honestly I think Johnathan has acted my Favourite out of all the Jesus movies.....I couldn't stop the tears man ! God bless !!
He does a wonderful job in this!
I also love the actor in The Gospel of John series.
It's been a wonderful experience to relive Jesus life through Jonathan's interpretation. Thank you.
Thankyou Jonathan for cooperating with God’s call. Through your work we can experience the blessing and mercy of God.
He made a great ,JESUS THE CHRIST! Moved me!!!
I am going to watch this
Anyway I love the Chosen and the actors.. The message of Christ is the most important.. We worship him in spirit and truth..
I love how he glorifies God 🙏
He is an actor playing a part
He is getting rich of this show
This show is highly inaccurate
and we should never watch anything with our emotions which will mislead us
People are acting like Jonathan is Jesus but he is not
He is the real Jesus!!! Cannot you see it my friend? 🥰
GIGANTIC FAN OF DR. HAHN HERE! Thanks for having Jonathan as an interviewee, he has been absolutely mind blowing in his performance on The Chosen ... as have so many others! I am so grateful for you, Dr. Hahn. Back in the days of cassette tapes and a sales job which kept me on the road hundreds of miles a day, I can't tell you how many times I played yours and Mrs. Hahn's testimony. I could recite it word for word. Long story short, when my dad died unexpectedly in January of 1999, I actually introduced myself to the priest presiding at my father's funeral, as being a "Born-Again Catholic" ... I thought I was SO creative but now see that the Good Lord wants this for everyone. Thank you both for a very, very enjoyable interview. Hope to see you both "on the other side"! Love, Sean
He is perfect for this role. So glad to hear some of his history.
Amen Amen Lord 🙏
Jonathan, you have honestly given me a whole new view of Jesus....God has spoken to my heart and moved me through your portrayal of Him. I can't wait for Season 3 & 4 & 5....don't stop! lol. God bless you Jonathan....He could not have "Chosen" anyone better to portray Him than you! Thank you!
Divine Appointment for Jonathan!
Johnnton seems to radiate humbleness in his persona, I saw the Chosen and I felt he portrayed Jesus in a such a way I felt the if he was actually touched by the Holy Spirit and the Chosen as a whole.
Born again Christian, everyone said to watch this. One episode and I was hooked and now I am awaiting season 4 because this role you play is so important, The Chosen is going viral without major media !!! And "Coincedences" - I've had 10 or 12 that got me into Church and when I felt the holy spirit enter - nothing has been the same. Please keep up the work! You are changing lives!!
is born again christian different from born again catholic?
@@soyabeancurd3113Yes much different. Roman catholics believes the church saves you and Christ is not enough which is not biblical!
Christians 100% follow scripture.
has compromised the gospel with her unbiblical doctrines. I firmly believe that she is "teaching as doctrines the commandments of men" (Matt. 15:9).
@@Victor-E-R Who is "She"? I am confused.
@@Victor-E-R What scripture did the Christians follow during the first 300-plus years of Christianity when their was no canon of the Bible, and no printing press to make scripture widely available to the people? Did our Lord abandon those first Christians since they had no Bible to guide them? Of course He didn't. Catholics believe that Jesus saves us, and He gave us his Church to guide us. Why? Because the Bible tells us: "And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it." Catholics also believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God, and so we believe, like the Bible teaches us in 1 Tim 3:15, that the Church is the pillar and foundation (or bullwark) of truth. Since the beginning of Christianity, it was and is the Church that guides the people of God.
I've been a huge fan of The Chosen since I discovered it a year ago. I am a freelance student of the faith and take care to feed my soul with media that is true to what the Catholic Church teaches. I've been mostly all in with this show, but cautiously, knowing Dallas' father is the author of the extremely popular, but anti-Catholic book series, "Left Behind". Season one was great, with no hitches. And it was such a relief to watch Dr. Hahn's interviews with Jonathan Roumie and how excited he was over the show! He even went so far as to say he had found in the creators of the show, people who are more in tune with the Gospels than he is!
Then comes season 2. I won't give anything away, but I felt the way one scene presented Mother Mary strayed from what we have been taught. I know it's not dogma, but at one point she says that both she and Joseph had had moments of doubt that Jesus was the Son of God. I honestly don't know if this is a point of contention with the Catholic Church. Some people were upset at Mary discussing the birth experience in a candid, way, saying "he needed to be cleaned". Both of these are pretty small things, I think, but some on TH-cam are saying it's blasphemous. This scene has not changed my stance and feelings for this show. But it did serve as a reminder that this is a human endeavor (heroic, but still human) and to enjoy it as great entertainment and spiritually inspiring - as it has truly helped my prayer life and rosary.
I hope y'all will re-interview Jonathan - or get Dallas on, maybe. We've got five more seasons to go. I pray the creators will be driven by the Holy Spirit and our Blessed Mother - and counseled by good, strong priests like Father Mark Goring (he would be great!) or theologians like Dr. Scott Hahn!! So, St. Paul Center - and Dr. Hahn - what do y'all think of the scene?
He chooses and uses the humble and you are humble - you were there and you said Hineni (here I am I am ready) - the lord uses those available and ready not those who would feel themselves 'worthy', this is what you were conceived and born for........bless you
That was a beautiful interview. Jonathan is a man who has been given a great gift, to bring the truth of Jesus in a very real, very profound way to people through 'The Chosen'...
As an aside. The ignorance, animosity and to be frank, stupidity expressed in some of the comments on here about Catholics and the Catholic Church is just staggering...
No kidding! Just been reading through a bit. It's so sad. As you said, there's such a vicious loop of ignorance/animosity/stupidity that gets recycled constantly in 'Born Again' circles about Jesus's Church. They don't even know they are attacking Jesus when they're attacking the Catholic Church.
