Jonathan Roumie's Biggest Message Amid Meteoric 'The Chosen' Success
Actor Jonathan Roumie became a global sensation after "The Chosen," the TV drama about Jesus and his disciples currently filming its fifth season, became a massive success following its 2017 premiere. Roumie, who portrays Christ, is a fan favorite who has helped bring to the small screen some of the New Testament's most consequential moments.
He told CBN News during a red-carpet interview at the KLOVE Fan Awards in Nashville, Tennessee, Sunday that playing Jesus has made him "want to be more like [Christ]" each and every day. "The more time you spend with Him, the more unavoidable it is that He's going to have an effect on your heart, no matter who you are, where you've come from," Roumie said. "Even if you're already a believer like I was going into these projects, it just deepens, exponentially, your wish to kind of know Him on a much more spiritually fundamental level, emotionally fundamental level, physically fundamental level."
Like everything else, Roumie said the Jesus role has also brought some challenges, citing fame itself as one of those struggles, particularly when it comes to the way people process him. "The way people receive the role and how they receive you when they meet you, it kind of feels like the lines blurred," Roumie said. "It's part of what I explore in my documentary, 'Jonathan & Jesus,' kind of ... what that means and what it looks like in real-time."
Beyond that, the actor said there's also the challenge of "trying to live up to the expectations of God" as he portrays Christ on screen. Though Roumie said it can be "difficult at times," he "wouldn't have it any other way." As for the actor's biggest prayer for America right now, he encouraged people to turn to the Lord. "The only thing you need is Jesus," he said. "Jesus is the prince of peace. The only way to true inner peace is Jesus."
"The Chosen Season 4" was nominated in the Film Impact category at this year's KLOVE Fan Awards, which will air Friday, May 31, at 8 and 10 p.m. ET on TBN and TBN+.

Yes, the world needs Jesus!! He makes all the difference!! Ask him to be your Savior!
What a beautiful man, what a beautiful soul 😍 My prayer is that God preserves everything that Jonathan has brought to the public, courage, boldness, gratitude and talent. We love you sweet Jonathan ❤️
Jonathan's answer to the question about the world right now... "What the world needs, what individuals need, is Jesus." Jesus is the answer to peace in a person's heart. I agree with Jonathan. Jesus is the answer. Whatever Jesus leads a person to do or speak, must come through reliance on Jesus.
Your so right Jonathon, all we need is JESUS. Just believe! Get down on your news and pray to him not at him.
Blessings on Jonathan. He is truly a beautiful soul.
I’m so happy the CHOSEN will now be able to stream starting Sunday!!!! I love Jesus and the Father more than my life! As a believer over 30+ years He is my life! I love You and PRAISE the Father! Maranatha my Lord!
I love his answer to his question his biggest prayer for America and he answers JESUS CHRIST
Love this man so much 💕💕 He is definitely a light in this world🙏🏼✝️
Thank you for that answer, Jonathan. We need Jesus
Love The Chosen. Thank you Jonathan and team! ❤
Jonathan speaks and responds so eloquently, and it is a very good thing he made the docuseries Jesus and Jonathan. He could write a book someday and it would be a national bestseller! Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow! Thank you Jesus for working through Jonathan to show us your love!!!

He is (The WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE) no one goes to the Father except through ME Emmanuel said. But you have to live them and stay away from the World. You cannot have him and Mammon. He knows us and we are bought with a Price. So its Not just believing, thats not enough ok!!!

@@TruthRevealed982 yes we have Grace as Christians, but we can also lose our salvation. God and Emmanuel are not of this world, they are spirit, not flesh. We are to aim for his holy gifts which is in addition to grace. He hates wealth. Harder for a camel to go through the eye of a needle! The way us wide, but the road is narrow. He wants our hearts and obedience of his Will for his new Kingdom. In heaven and on earth for the Jewish chosen.

I think it’s leading to more people opening their bible. If you know your Bible you will be able to discern the truth and realize it is first a show and second it is based MOSTLY on biblical scripture but not always 100% so know your Bible and lookup anything that you question on the show. Just like the whole world today you have to discern everything you hear, read or watch. Governments and the world’s elites are creating a one world government and a one world religion not the chosen.
