Jesus & the Controversial Super Bowl Ad

You may be aware that those promoting Jesus through the HE GETS US campaign created quite the buzz with their super bowl ad. The one in particular featured a variety of still pictures of possibly Christian people washing the feet of their polar opposites. Some might say enemies.

The outrage ranged stemmed from those thinking the money would have been better spent helping the poor and needy, to those who would say Jesus only washed the feet of his disciples, not the average sinner out on the street.

Jesus Christ- if ever there was a polarizing man it was Him. Who is Jesus? In John's gospel, as his adversaries are absolutely at wit's end debating him, they ask him "WHO ARE YOU?" John 8:25. They didn't know. As Jesus concludes His conversation in verse 58, he says, "I'm gonna tell you one more time, that before even your Father Abraham was born I was around." Talk about lighting a match stick and throwing it on a fire! They were ready to kill him there.

WHO IS JESUS? This may be the most important question you and I answer. As we approach Easter let's allow Jesus, through His discussions with a variety of people to tell us for Himself WHO HE IS!

Several times He said, "I Am..." The Light of the World. The Good Shepherd. The Truth. The Resurrection. This week I want us to focus on who Jesus claims to be and thru the story of someone who spent time with Him we'll examine the obstacles people have in seeing Jesus clearly. I hope you'll Join me!
