Episode 2 • 41m
Dr. Barber and Dr. Hefelfinger are back to discuss Episode 3 of Season 3 of The Chosen: "Physician, Heal Yourself." In this episode, they discuss Jesus' return to Nazareth, the challenges of portraying the Son of God in media, Jesus' authoritative display in the synagogue, and his miraculous escape from danger.
Discussion Questions:
1. Read Luke 4:17-20, 23-30. What stands out to you about this scene? Ask God to speak to you through his Sacred Scripture.
2. The Chosen aims to highlight both Jesus' divinity and humanity. When you think of Christ, do you tend to focus on his divinity or humanity? Ask God to help you to see and know Jesus more clearly by keeping his divine nature and human nature in tension with one another.
3. While in the synagogue, Jesus reads from Isaiah 61 and proclaims a Jubilee Year. Read Isaiah 61. What stands out to you? How does Jesus fulfill the words of Isaiah?
