Another take on the “He Gets Us” ad that aired during the Super Bowl continues to go viral and grow. What makes this ad different?
In this version, the sinner changes his ways.
On Super Bowl Sunday, HeGetsUs.com ran an ad aimed at “reminding everyone, including us, that the teachings of Jesus are not a cold attitude, but a warm embrace.” Website read.
Breitbart’s Warner Todd Huston wrote, “The ad features a total of 12 scenes in which one person washes another person’s feet.” “Mostly it looks like white people doing laundry. There are no depictions of minorities washing white people’s feet, and there are even some that seem to be telling white Christians not to be bigots. Especially in the last photo. , a white priest is depicted washing the feet of people who appear to be members of the LGBTQ community. Another photo depicts an elderly priest washing the feet of people who appear to be members of the LGBTQ community. Another photo depicts an elderly man washing the feet of people who appear to be members of the LGBTQ community. A white woman is shown washing the feet of a frowning young woman.
Jesus washed the feet of his friends and enemies. There is no ego or hatred. He humbly loved his neighbor. How can we do the same? pic.twitter.com/kXift42ZG9

In addition to the racial connotations, this ad makes no mention that the people whose feet are being washed are living in sin, much less repent of their lives and come to Christ. Because there was no call for people to come, it was widely circulated on the internet.
Jamie Bambrick, associate pastor at Britain’s Hope Church Craigavon, has criticized the He Gets Us ad for saying “nothing of the Gospel to the hundreds of millions of people who saw it”.So Bambrick responded by saying, “What? [He Gets Us] I should have. “
The Christian Super Bowl ad they should have made
A group known as “He Gets Us” released an ad during the Super Bowl that, while probably well-intentioned, failed to convey any gospel to the hundreds of millions of people who saw it.

There are quite a few differences between the two ads.
#HeSavesUs ads feature former jihadists, former gang members, former witches, abortionists, and many others who found Christ after being steeped in sin. This is consistent with the He Gets Us ad in that the doors of Christ’s church are open to everyone. But where it diverges dramatically is where sinners change their ways.
Bambrick’s ads received overwhelming praise from Christian influencers, clergy, and laity alike.
Start a campaign to raise money to run this ad during the next Super Bowl.

It is perfectly stated that Jesus will save us.
“He will get us” ads are the false message of Christianity in the modern world, making no mention of faith or repentance and surrounding it with ideas of tolerance.
The true message of Jesus Christ is that salvation comes through faith.
