Christmas Comes, Let Us Remember

“The Chosen” is an evocative and profoundly human retelling of the life of Jesus Christ, presented not as an abstract iconography but through the eyes of those who walked with Him. It melds scriptural fidelity with rich character exploration, inviting viewers to encounter familiar stories with fresh emotional resonance and narrative depth.

This holiday season, as lights twinkle and hearts reflect on the meaning of Emmanuel—“God with us”—Season 5: The Chosen: Last Supper invites us to enter the threshold of Holy Week with cinematic intimacy. This latest season unfolds the mounting spiritual and interpersonal tension as Jesus and His disciples approach the Passover feast that will become the Last Supper. Against the backdrop of political machinations and religious unrest (very much akin to our realities today), we witness moments of solidarity, doubt, betrayal, and grace that make the gospel’s climactic events palpably vivid and deeply affecting. We see God's will has a way realizing that no one sees coming.

Cheers fellow gentlemen, let us consider in our darkest hour - assumptions, vanity, pride, confusion, accusations - of which Jesus felt and knew (keenly) yet navigated and comported himself with dignity, respect, love, care, and most of all - in front of those lying political monologues - truth.
