Jon ThompsonHOST
Then the apostles return to Jerusalem.
Jon ThompsonHOST
Those present were Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and, and Judas, not the other Judas, this Judas, son of James.
Jon ThompsonHOST
Now, because of the strong association with the twelve tribes of Israel, the original twelve disciples who had been called by Jesus took steps to add the twelfth person because Judas Iscariot had taken his own life just before this moment.
Jon ThompsonHOST
So as you keep reading, it reads like this in Acts: "Therefore, it's necessary to choose one of the men who've been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, beginning from John's baptism to the time that Jesus was taken up in front of us.
Jon ThompsonHOST
We read this in First Corinthians fifteen.
Jon ThompsonHOST
He's talking about Jesus's appearance.
Jon ThompsonHOST
He says, "Jesus appeared to James, then to all the other apostles, and last of all, he appeared to me also as one abnormally born.
Jon ThompsonHOST
I wasn't born like the other kids spiritually," he says.
GhostHOST
They don't really flush anything else.
GhostHOST
We meet little St. James in Thaddeus.
GhostHOST
They're already with
Ashe in AmericaHOST
Jesus.
Ashe in AmericaHOST
Sounds like an island.
GhostHOST
Yeah.
GhostHOST
We meet little James in Thaddeus, but little James gets a lot of runway.
GhostHOST
There's a lot of the whole thing with his leg being lame and he's a singer.
Jim RomanovichHOST
And in my opinion, for this series, that's nothing short of brilliant.
Jim RomanovichHOST
Jenkins gave afflictions to two of his apostles, Matthew and little James.
Jim RomanovichHOST
And for little James, I believe for the actor, it's a real affliction.
Jim RomanovichHOST
To show that even those who were challenged physically or in some way, or handicapped, I hate to use that word, but you know what I'm saying, that they could still be a vital component in spreading the ministry of Jesus.
Jim RomanovichHOST
And there are a number of scenes in here that really relay Jesus engaging them in such a way.
Jim RomanovichHOST
Again, I don't want to spoil it for you, but there's a great scene, a number of great scenes between Jesus and Matthew especially when Jesus is preparing for a sermon on the mount, and then he turns to Matthew at the end, who's, blessed are you who persecutes you.
Jim RomanovichHOST
And to little James, who is concerned that his affliction will hinder his ability to do what Jesus needs him to do or wants him to do.
Jim RomanovichHOST
And Jesus reminds him that his affliction is actually his strength.
Will ReitzHOST
He was one of the disciples, therefore he's also an apostle.
Will ReitzHOST
He's probably the one that is called James the Lesser or James the Less.
Will ReitzHOST
And then finally you have James who is mentioned as the father of Judas not Iscariot.
Will ReitzHOST
So one of the disciples had a first name Judas, but the one time he's mentioned, or at least the one time he's mentioned by the name Judas, The gospel is clear to say Judas, not Iscariot.
MichaelaHOST
There's a scene in The Chosen that has stayed with me.
MichaelaHOST
Little James watches Jesus heal others while he continues to live with a physical disability.
MichaelaHOST
He essentially asks, why haven't you healed me? And Christ helps him understand that there can be tremendous power in someone who continues to trust God, even when the miracle they desperately wanted hasn't come.
MichaelaHOST
I understand in my own small way what it feels like to ask, why not me, Lord? For us, it was infertility.
Bobby CapucciHOST
I'm this, that, the other thing.
Bobby CapucciHOST
But this has taken it to a whole nother level, huh? saying that he's James the Lesser, more like Chad the Dumber.
Bobby CapucciHOST
10.43 a.m. Lori and Zulema and Melanie look up scriptures in the doctrine and covenants about the 144,000 people who will usher in the return of Jesus.
Bobby CapucciHOST
In court, Lori is attentively listening as Zulema testifies.
Bobby CapucciHOST
I'm this, that, the other thing.

Bear WozniakGUEST
When you're a man of grit and grace, that's deeply spiritual, but it's very real.
Bear WozniakGUEST

Bear WozniakGUEST
