How to introduce this clip
“As the second season of The Chosen draws to a close, with the help of his disciple Matthew, Jesus is hard at work writing what will be the Sermon on the Mount. The creators playfully imagine him struggling to find just the right way to begin the sermon, and finally, early one morning, Jesus wakes Matthew from his slumber to tell him he’s finally figured out the introduction. Let’s watch this imagined scene together in a clip from the show…”
*If your church does not know about The Chosen, before you show the clip, you might also want to tell them the following: “The Chosen is a television show that tells the story of Jesus through the eyes of the people who knew him.”
