Jonathan Roumie, who portrayed Jesus in 'The Chosen,' profoundly stated, "Instead of waiting to go to heaven, I will work diligently for heaven until I enter." His life, marked by faith and service, mirrors this philosophy. Despite his role's fame, he focuses on his spiritual journey, actively engaging in works that reflect his faith.
Matthew 6:20 - “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”
Roumie's approach to life is a profound example of living with an eternal perspective. His commitment to working for heavenly rewards, rather than passively waiting for them, aligns perfectly with the teachings of Christ about storing treasures in heaven. His life encourages us to actively participate in our spiritual journey, knowing that our earthly actions have eternal significance.
