Episode 8: Beyond Mountains
January 21, 2024
Jesus has returned to the camp and is preparing for what we call the Sermon on the Mount with Matthew. In doing so, we get an explanation of parts of what is recorded in Matthew 5-7. The rest of the disciples are preparing the space (with a lot of arguing) and telling people about the event. But what if everything goes wrong and no one shows up? Will they be able to work together/ Will the Romans interrupt? There are many questions. Meanwhile, we catch a glimpse of the battle between the two schools of the Pharisees – that of Hillel and that of Shammai. And there is a substantial amount of political maneuvering being planned by some of them, involving Jesus. There is a hint of romance. And we are again struck by the gender equality among the followers of Jesus. The viewer also sees some returning characters from Season One as well as some new series characters! And take note of the opening – as we find later on, it is our introduction to Judas. A really engaging finale that we enjoyed. We’re excited to see season three!
