Youtube had voted this video to be the most viewed for the past 48 hours. Jefferson Bethke wrote a poem that differentiates false religion and Jesus. As Bethke posted the video, as the title says, thousands upon thousands of viewers gather into this video. Now, it has reached at least 3 millions views.
This video was design and made to exalt the name of Jesus Christ over every humankind and false religions in the world. It has amazed, disturbed, confused, and inspired a lot of viewers around the world whether if they are religious, non-religious, or Christians. For Atheists and non-Christians (including not born-again Christians), the language that Bethke speaks may be foreign to you. It sounds cool, but without understand what the message he's delivering, then you miss the depth of the meaning. It sounds confusing because you don't have the mind of Christ. It sounds pathetic or ridiculous because it is foolish to you.
Finally, it may sound disturbing because Jesus was than just a moral or good teacher. He indeed did come to abolish religion and rebuke those who were self-righteous. He came and lived a perfect and holy life by fulfilling the laws. He came on a rescue mission to save sinners (tax collectors, prostitute, unclean, poor, religious and etc.) by dying on the cross for our sins so that His righteousness and His perfection could be inputted to us when we believe and receive what He has done. Additionally, He was resurrected 3 days later to demonstrate that He is God, and that He has conquered Satan, sin, and death. In his resurrection, He walked in the newness of life. Through His resurrection, when we place our faith in Jesus Christ in what He has done, we too could walk in the newness of life and one day experience resurrection--we could also conquer Satan, sin, and death--after this life and live in the New Heaven and New Jerusalem for eternity with Jesus.
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
(2 Corinthians 5:21 ESV)
We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
(Romans 6:4 ESV)
Enjoy the Video :)
