THE CHOSEN SEASON 3: EPISODE 1 & 2
A Christ-centered launch into Season 3, made for the whole family.
Should You Watch It?
If you want a family movie that centers Jesus Christ, champions the Bible, and points you toward the truth of His teaching, this is worth your time. These two episodes offer an inspiring, faith-filled theatrical experience built around the Sermon on the Mount and the disciples’ growing trust in Jesus.
The film is not without a limitation. Because the theatrical release combines two television episodes rather than presenting a conventional movie, the pacing can feel uneven. Still, the strong Christian message, biblical quotations, quality camerawork, and high-quality acting give the experience real value.
Take your family to see it if you are looking for uplifting, Christ-centered drama that is safe for viewers of all ages.
The Story
NO SPOILERS — WE KEEP THE SURPRISESJesus prepares to deliver the Sermon on the Mount to a tremendous crowd gathered from near and far. His words draw some people toward belief while provoking anger in others.
Afterward, the disciples return to their families and wrestle with anxiety, strained relationships, and questions about what Jesus will ask of them next. As their ministry enters a new phase, they must learn to trust the Messiah they have pledged to serve.
Is It Any Good?
Four stars means this is an especially strong entry in the series. The camerawork and acting reach theatrical-level quality, giving the biblical drama an engaging and polished presentation.
The main weakness comes from the format. Combining two episodes into one theatrical experience creates some pacing issues, particularly because the story functions as a launching point for the rest of the season. Even so, the production’s quality and uplifting purpose make it a rewarding watch.
The Worldview
This release presents a very strong Christian, biblical worldview centered on Jesus Christ and His teachings. It champions the Bible and the truth of Christ’s words, with much of the dialogue drawn directly from Scripture. The story emphasizes hope, truth, peace, obedience, trust in Jesus, and the expansion of the kingdom of God.
The film portrays people responding differently to Jesus. Some believe His teaching, while others—including Pharisees and some Romans—grow angry or suspicious. It also explores the disciples’ struggles with their pasts, families, anxieties, and willingness to trust the Messiah’s plan.
The film’s central message aligns closely with a biblical view: Jesus is the Christ, His teaching is true, and His followers are called to trust and obey Him. Its goal is not merely to retell biblical events but to create an inspiring, Christ-centered experience for viewers and families.
Jesus’ teaching points to the exclusive hope found in Him: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).
