Ghost and Ashe in America walk through Season 4 Episode 3 of The Chosen, which opens on David grieving his and Bathsheba's dying child and closes on Thomas screaming at Jesus to heal Reyma as she bleeds out in his arms. The hosts unpack the showrunners' bold choice to bookend the episode this way, even though the David death was prophesied punishment for adultery and the Reyma death looks senseless. The point lands either way. God saves some and does not save others, and faith is trusting him in both directions.

In between: Jesus blistering the Pharisees with the "woe to you" speech from Luke 11 about cleaning the outside of the cup while greed festers on the inside, Quintus losing his grip and micromanaging the streets because his tax revenue is in the red, Atticus speaking on behalf of Rome, Gaius refusing the order to arrest Jesus, and Peter actually leading. Plus the modern parallel that no one wanted to bring up but did anyway, the abortion question. If God knit the child together in the womb, who is anyone to decide it is not the right time.
