The Chosen scene: John 3:16

god loves the world in this way that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life hey it's dallas from the creator of the chosen and the scene you are about to see is the scene the most impactful and famous chapter in the bible john chapter 3 the conversation between nicodemus and jesus now what you're about to see will not only be the gospel captured accurately but you'll also see the historical context the cultural context and the personal human context that we added that was set up by the previous six episodes so enjoy the scene as it is but if you want to get the full impact as to why this scene was so powerful be sure to watch the entire season one of the chosen check this out i don't know where to start i have so many questions shall we sit first oh yes of course [Applause] the eastern slums many wandering preachers have succeeded in gathering crowds with their rhetoric and fiery tone i've heard a few of them over the years myself so you know the type but i have never heard anyone tell a paralytic to get up and walk much less it actually happens so what is your conclusion i believe you are not acting alone no one can do these signs you do without having god in him only someone who has come from god and now is that belief going over in the synagogue [Laughter] which is why we are here at this hour what else what have you come here to show us a kingdom that is what our rulers are worried about no not that kind and want a sort of kingdom that a person cannot see unless he is born again born again yes you mean like a new creature a conversion from gentile to jewish no no that's not what i'm talking about then what is born again i hope you don't mean return to the womb because that would be a problem for me my mother may she rest in peace is dead truly i say to you unless one is born of water and the spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of god that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the spirit his spirit that part of you that is what must be reborn to new life [Music] how can these things be ah a teacher of israel and yet you do not understand these things huh i'm trying rabbi i know i know do you hear this what listen what you hear the wind how do you know it's the wind because i can feel it i hear it sound do you know where it comes from no do you know where it's going no that's what it is to be born again of the spirit the spirit may work in a way that is a mystery to you and while you cannot see the spirit you can recognize his effect mind is consumed with thoughts of what a stir these words would cause among the teachers of the law yes and i do not expect otherwise i speak of what i know and have seen and it has not been received by the religious leaders it's hard to receive so if i have told you of earthly things and you do not believe how can i tell you heavenly things i believe your words i just fear you may not have a chance to speak many more of them before you are silenced i have come to do more than speak words negotias more miracles yes but even more than that do you remember when the children of israel complained against god and against moses in the wilderness of paran yes they wanted to return to egypt and they cursed the manna that god sent them and then they were bitten by serpents and they were dying but but god made a way for them to be healed moses lifted the bronze serpent in the desert and people only needed to look at it so will the son of man be lifted up so that whoever believes in him may have eternal life our people are not dying from snake bites they're dying from taxation and oppression sorry to disappoint you but i did not come to deliver the people from rome and from what from sin from spiritual death god loves the world in this way that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life so this has nothing to do with wrong it's all about sin god did not send his son into the world to condemn it nicodemus he sent him to save it through him it's as simple as moses's serpent on the pole whoever believes in him will not be condemned but whoever does not believe stands condemned already have you ever heard anything like this before when i met lilla mary that day i told my wife and my students she was beyond human aid only god could have healed her and then i saw her healed if i would say this day [Music] follow me and you'll see more for you join me and my students in two days time we leave capernaum come see the kingdom i am bringing into this world but i i i have a position in the sanhedrin you have family you are getting advanced in years i understand but the invitation is still open the invitation to what exactly to lead a nomadic life to to give up who i am it's true there is a lot you would give up but what you would gain is far greater and more lasting it's just another one of your born-again mysteries i know mysteries aren't easy for a scholar [Music] think about it take your time on the morning of the fifth day we leave and we'll meet by the well in the southern water is this is the kingdom of god really coming what does your heart do my heart is swollen with fear [Music] nothing except that i understand it called holy crowd holy roof i do hope you come with us [Applause] kiss the son lest he be angry and you perish in the way [Music] blessed are all who take refuge in him [Music] [Music] you
