Feeling alone is a big fear for a lot of people in the world today. Believing there is no one available to turn to when life gets hard will only help to make a bad situation even worse. People are looking for someone who cares and loves them.
One video posted to YouTube, that is a part of the $100 million “He Gets Us” campaign, wants people to understand that they are not alone.
The short, 15-second video features black-and-white images of people alone in positions that indicate saddened, distressed and upset states. As the photos roll, a bell chimes every few seconds.
About three-fourths of the way through the video, text appears that reads, “Jesus felt alone, too.” More text is then displayed and reads that “He gets us.”
At the end of the video, viewers are encouraged to visit HeGetsUs.com. On the website, there are several articles that explore a variety of topics, including hope, struggle, justice and politics as they pertain to the life of Jesus.
On the About Us section of the website, it states that the objective of the He Gets Us campaign is to “reintroduce people to the Jesus of the Bible and his confounding love and forgiveness.”
In an interview with CNN, Jason Vanderground, the president of HAVEN and one of the people behind the He Gets Us campaign, reiterated those sentiments.
“We are trying to unify the American people around the confounding love and forgiveness of Jesus,” he said.
The About Us section on the site goes on to mention that “his words, example, and life have relevance in our lives today and offer hope for a better future.”
As CNN points out, several of the He Gets Us ads are expected to run during Sunday’s Super Bowl game between the Chiefs and the Eagles.
