This is a powerful video about community and care. A band starts singing a dad’s name after he is separated from his son.
In this emotional video, we see a sweet boy on the shoulders of an Emcee. The young boy is crying. He has gotten separated from his father. We watch as the crowd begins to clap and shout the dad’s name.
Then, the band takes the search party to the next level by creating a song about it. They sing out the dad’s name and say that they are looking for him.
As they sing, the boy is still on the Emcee’s shoulder in front of the band, and they get the audience very involved. The little boy is still crying, but the music and the fun make it helpful for him to remain hopeful.
The crowd really gets into the song, and the band plays their instruments and harmonizes. You would think that this is an actual song performance at the festival. Suddenly, we see a man looking and hastening toward the little boy, and the boy jumps into his arms.
The boy has been reunited with his father. The band and the crowd continue singing the song in celebration at the reunion.
As we reflect on this father’s pursuit to find his son and the precious reunion, may it remind us of the sweet pursuit of our Heavenly Father. We were lost, but now we are found.
We went astray, and He came down to save us. We have a great celebration knowing that we are loved and cared for by our great God.
“So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him, and kissed him.” Luke 15:20
