And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:  \nBlessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, foryour reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.  \nSeason 2  \nIn Season 1, we focused on Isaiah 43 and what it meant to be chosen. The anticipation of the coming Messiah, and what the arrival of Jesus meant and still means to His followers. Specifically, we explored what it means to be called and rescued by Jesus, to rest in His presence, to be cherished and protected, to change course in order to follow where He leads, to testify of His kingship, to be cleansed of sin and made new, and to be established and carried along the way.  \nIn Season 2, we will focus on Jesus’ way of living, being, and teaching, what the church calls “beatitude”. Jesus ushers in a new reality. We have hope no matter the circumstances. We have assurances and riches and resources no matter our circumstances. We are blessed no matter our circumstances because God’s favor is upon us.  \nToday we are covering episodes 1 and 2: The Poor in Spirit and Those Who Mourn.  \nEpisode 1-The Poor in Spirit (Matthew 5:3)  \nBiblical Characters-Jesus, James, John, Andrew, Peter, Thomas, Matthew, Samaritans  \nSynopsis. The opening finds the disciples in the 40s AD mourning the death of Big James. John decides he needs to write an account of Jesus’ life before more disciples die, so that the things Jesus said and did won’t be forgotten. Then, it is 26 AD, Jesus is  \nteaching the crowds in Samaria. Big James and John begin to assert their authority over the other disciples, much to the annoyance of Simon. Thomas and Ramah arrive in Samaria and join the disciples. Jesus heals a lame Samaritan whose past misdeeds may have inspired one of Jesus’ parables. Jesus and the disciples then spend the night at Photina’s home. Big James and John ask Jesus to call fire down from heaven on some Samaritans who threw stones at them, but Jesus chastises the two disciples instead. A Samaritan priest asks Jesus to speak at the local synagogue. John listens as Jesus reads from the opening verses of Genesis. Then, back to the 40s AD, John thinks back on all these things, he bases the opening verses of his gospel on those verses from Genesis.  \nNotable quotes: “I ask a lot of those who follow me, but I ask little of those who do not.”(Jesus)  \n“We know God pursues the sick more t","cbCailRRNDsR2KKf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailRRNDsR2KKf","pdf",176783,24,"English","# Opening Prayer\n# Matthew 5:1-12 - The Beatitudes\n# Season 2 Overview\n# Episodes 1 and 2\n## Episode 1: The Poor in Spirit (Matthew 5:3)\n## Episode Talking Points\n## Episode 2: Those Who Mourn","[{\"question\":\"What theme does Season 2 of The Chosen introduce?\",\"answer\":\"Season 2 focuses on Jesus’ way of living, being, and teaching, presented as “beatitude,” emphasizing a new reality and God’s favor regardless of circumstances.\"},{\"question\":\"Which Bible passage is used to open the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study opens with Jesus’ beatitudes from the Gospel of Matthew, Matthew 5:1-12.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the titles of the first two episodes covered in this guide?\",\"answer\":\"The guide covers episodes 1 and 2: “The Poor in Spirit” and “Those Who Mourn.”\"},{\"question\":\"Which biblical characters are highlighted for Episode 1?\",\"answer\":\"Episode 1 includes biblical characters such as Jesus, James, John, Andrew, Peter, Thomas, and Matthew, along with Samaritans.\"}]","The Chosen - Season 2 - Blessed Are the Chosen - Episode Study | PDF",1790402906]
