They aren\u2019t ads for products you\u2019ll be compelled to buy. Rather, they\u2019re ads about a compelling figure \u2013 Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They invite the viewer to reconsider what they think they know about Jesus and to recognize Jesus as someone understands what it\u2019s like to be human. They are two of a series of ads which have been playing across the country in the past 10 months with the theme, \u201cHe Gets Us.\u201d The ads depict Jesus as someone who got angry, who faced criticism, who invited everyone to sit at his table, who was a refugee, and who didn\u2019t always get along with his family. In promotional materials for the ads, the sponsors say that their hope is that in a world of skepticism and division, people will take another look at Jesus and his message of unconditional love for others regardless of differences. They hope people will see a Jesus who inspired kindness, compassion, caring, and generosity for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funding for the ads comes from a non-profit organization out of Overland Park, KS called \u201cThe Servant Foundation.\u201d Those involved include people whose theology is not something I always agree with, but I\u2019ve watched some of the ads, and there\u2019s a lot I can support. They are compelling because Jesus is compelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I hope you watch the Super Bowl this Sunday \u2013 and especially the ads. Maybe you\u2019ll post something about them on social media or text a friend and ask them what they thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He gets us. Jesus gets us. The world might be a more kind, compassionate, caring, generous one if we followed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Christ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pastor Jen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pats aren\u2019t in it this year but nevertheless, many of us will be watching this Sunday\u2019s game anyway (maybe it\u2019s a good excuse to eat unhealthy snacks).
