How to introduce this clip
Take a moment to read Luke 9:51, before you say something along these lines: “Jerusalem was always going to be where Jesus’s life and ministry reached its climax, so he taught and healed and restored his way toward that great holy city from the very start. And finally, one day—one Sunday that we traditionally call Palm Sunday—he arrives. In this clip from The Chosen, let’s watch together what it might have looked like as Jesus made his way toward and then through Jerusalem’s gates…”
*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.”
