The atonement, the reconciliation between ourselves as sinners, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ is in essence the fundamental message of the New Testament.
For decades, Christians everywhere have been preaching the good news of the atonement and offering Jesus as the Lord and the Savior to anyone who would listen.
Many did listen, but far more rejected the ultimate of God’s plan. But times have changed and there is a new way to share the atonement in a groundbreaking television show called The Chosen.
According to IMDB.com (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9471404/), the first season of The Chosen features a Charismatic Fisherman, a troubled woman plagued by demons, and a gifted accountant who becomes ostracized from his family for his religious beliefs.
Wikipedia at (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chosen_(TV_series) reports that The Chosen has been downloaded over 200 million times, and has been translated into 51 different languages.
Unlike many commercial films about Christ, such as Mel Gibson’s 2004 movie, The Passion of Christ, The Chosen is completely crowdfunded.
When believers and non-believers tune into The Chosen, they pay nothing and need not submit any credit card information or data.
True, being a crowd-funded television series, they gladly accept donations, with the goal of telling the story of Christ and the Atonement in 7 complete seasons.
So far, The Chosen has released a pilot episode in 2017, and the first two full seasons of the series, the first season aired in December of 2017 and the Second Season airing in 2021.
According to the Bulletintime.com ( https://www.thebulletintime.com/snews/the-chosen-season-3-release-date-cast-plot-all-we-know-so-far/#:~:text=We%20can%20expect%20the%20third,The%20Chosen%20in%20late%202022.) The Third Season is well into production and is expected to be released by the end of 2022.
The producers of The Chosen, have vowed that their goal is to reach several hundred million people, and with every episode, these firm believers in the message of the Christ do their utmost best to share the good news of the gospel with a full,
dramatic treatment.
They are thrilled that they are now recognized as the greatest crowd-funded entertainment venue ever produced, but they also note that funding all the remaining episodes may cost up to $100 million dollars.
It’s no wonder then that Angel Studios, which produces The Chosen, also sells merchandise related to the series and the gospel.
One of their most popular items is “I was one way” apparel which allows true believers to share the Gospel in a clear and direct way to others.
To watch The Chosen for yourself, all you need do is tune into https://watch.angelstudios.com/thechosen/watch.
It’s easy, and as we’ve already stated, but bears repeating, watching is perfectly free and one can do so completely anonymously.
The Chosen does take some dramatic liberties and at times condenses events for dramatic effect, however, it is Biblically accurate in its message, and naturally, the entire family can watch.
This is just the type of entertainment millions need in a time of troubles and problems, and lets hope that not only are all 7 seasons funded and produced, but this is just the start of Biblical based entertainment for years to come.
