  • I hadn't cried except maybe twice in probably three years. The times I would cry were short, like less than a minute, literally. I was involved in almost everything portrayed in this skit. Then God shook my world at Summer Camp, and I let it all go. I'm closer to him than I've ever been, and only when I'm in his presence and let him reach down and touch me do I cry. Watching this skit, he definitely says, "Child, I've been here all along." and I bawl, and bawl. And bawl.

  • This song is so powerful and has such an explosive meaning to it.

  • I love this song and this song's skit as well

  • i cant believe it..u watch an amazing, beautiful, moving skit like this and all u can focus on is the editing...thats great

  • I agree. the constant cutting is very annoying.

  • why is it i cry everytime i watch this video=( oh yeah because that girl was me before i acepted christ went i went to chicago on a mission trip last week=)

  • beautiful

  • For anyone who is looking for a biblical explanation of the gospel and salvation, I would highly recommend checking out the scribd website that is listed on my channel. The scripture references given on there make it very clear and easy to understand.

  • we did this at our church we did the best :D lol sry but we were more into it than all the ones i see on youtube

  • I was recently a part of this skit that we did at our church for a youth rally. I was the boyfriend. Very powerful message contained within it

  • I cried the first time that i watched this. I have struggled with eating disorders. I make my self throw up and i cut myself. It was at my friends church that i first watched it. This saved my life i was ready to give up and i think that God spoke to me and told me that everything was going to be ok. I still cut but i am trying to stop. Any ideas on how i can stop?

  • @hollisterxoxo22 Pray, and/or ask others to pray for you. And do your best, together with Jesus you can.

  • @hollisterxoxo22 When God leads you, tell people. I struggled with cutting for five years. Finally at summer camp we had a night of "What's holding you back from God?" and after seeing other stand and admit to porn, drugs, and other things, I stood in front of two hundred people and told them what before I had only let a handful of people know. I struggled with self-mutilation, and it was the sole thing that was keeping me from a strong relationship with Christ.

  • This Skit makes me cry everytime i watch it!! its absolutely AMAZING! and such a great song!

  • Thanks for posting this.

    A different view of one of my all time favorite works of art.

  • I love this :]

    our youth group is doing this too, we just started getting it together

  • Wow this waz a realy awesome skit and it like realy connected with real life situationz.

  • The youth from my church did this at an outreach event and at my church. I've seen this 3 times, live, and each time it amazes me. Our God loves us too much to give up on us :] Glory, honor and power be to the Almighty God, whose love is greater than our shortcomings. :)

  • This is Awesome!!!

  • Bem que podia ter uma versão em português né? Mas, sem sombra de dúvida é uma das encenações mais lindas que eu já vi em 12 anos de evangelho!!!

  • Wow! Is soo great!! I love my Good!! The is the best father :)

    He is the King!

  • Thats how hard the struggle is when you want to return to God with all your HEART!

  • Jesus should smile more in the beginning, like he enjoys being with his creation. he looks to serious

  • the FCA at my school is the biggest one in the state there is over five thousand kids in it and we went to LSU to wach this, i was with my girl friend my bestfriend and one of the coolest kids in the chool and i dint care i just threw my hands in the air and let my tears out,it was amazing watching it,i went in thinking i was a hard ass and nobod could tell my anything and walked oout both tear free regret free and sin free if u get the chance to see this go deffinitly it will change your life

  • I love this skit. My friend from work is a new Christian and he told me about it. He said he balled because it was so much like his own life. Awesome!

  • this skit personified everything i feel about how my life was affected by sin and just all the things that distract me from the real truth, that god loves me and made me to be a good person. when i first saw this at a retreat for my senior class, I cried so hard, and was and still am deeply touched. sometimes we get so blinded by all the evil and pain in the world, we lose sight of god, and doubt hiim. i know i made mistakes, but i also know now that it's not to late to turn back to God. <3

  • my friend , is going to be performing this

  • This is a very beutifull skit

    I will ask my friends to perform it during next evangelization

  • i lovee this vidoe !!

  • god truly is good!

  • These skits make me cry

  • same here because I've been to hell and back and pushed the lord away but I came back and it is better then ever... Living for the lord is way better then it is said to be...

  • me too! every time I see this it makes me cry. But in a good way. At first from sadness but then from extreme joy! :)

  • i kno. i cant help it. this is my...6th time seein it n i cry everytime

  • you're not alone! i bawl my eyes out every single time i see one!!! :D

  • muy bueno.

  • Jesus christ is real whether you believe in him or not.... THAT is the REAL issue here :) and I thank God for that and what he allowed his son to do at calvary

  • this ones goood i also love the one preformed by mount pisgah academy

  • There's no reason to be so hostile. You're allowed to have your own opinion without expressing it in a rude and affrontable way. And what makes you think that people who see this don't want to go and have "REAL religious faith"? Yes, I'm sure some people see this and remain exactly as they are save for having a false feeling of spirituality. But who's to say that the majority fit in that parametre? People actively looking up this skit could very well be looking to further their own faith.

  • that girl is my friend ashlyn and i live close to tht church

  • lindooo

  • whys it always girls? lol :)

  • Because unfortunately society paints them as being vulnerable... More emotionally expressive and influential...

  • true

  • i love this skit, it is so moveing!!

  • wao¡¡¡¡ revelacion de lo alto en esta obra muy wena la obra....Dios los bendice

  • to the haters why are you watching this if you dont like it?

  • ...each and every sin he had committed and exclaiming to the Lord that he is unworthy to be in the presen of the Lord. The first is not a true Christian but a proud sinner, where as the other understands his 'filth' and is repenting of his sins, he is the true example of the two.

    I will give more examples and answers from the Bible to the rest later, i have to go

    Does that help at all?

  • The scripture for that is Luke 18:9-14

  • ...for the recognition is doing it for themselves. they are doing it so people will think they are a good person, not to glorify god. There is a passage in the Bibe, i can't sem to find it, but here is a paraphrase version, where Jesus gives a parable of two men praying, one of which is overly proud that he has, himself, given much to charity, that he, himself, has done many good works by his will, and saying he is a good man unlike the other guy to the side who is repenting...

  • SarahM1308 mentioned said earlier,"True religion isn't just for the all holy people that think that because they spend their life talking about God and stuff that they are somehow closer to God than everyone else it is for everyone and even the slightest ecperience with God is true religion because anything to do with God is if it is taken in the right way. " She is corrrect on this. Those who read the bible or pray or commit god deeds in front of someone...

  • A man who was sentenced to the most painful and shameful death due to breaking many laws many times repented and believed in the Lord and Jesus saw that and forgave him," Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."

    We are not automatically condemned when we sin. Christians aren't perfect, if we were we wouldnt need a saviour, and Christ's death would have been for nothing.

  • "'...Then he said to Jesus, 'Lord, remember me when Yo come into Your kingdom.' and Jesus said to him,' Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.'"

  • A perfect example is when Jesus is on the cross in between two criminals. Luke 23:39-43, "Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him (for those who dont know Him is referring to Jesus), saying, 'If You are the Christ save Yourself and us.' But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, 'Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong...'

  • The Bible explains in many places that if you repent of your sins you will be forgiven, thus you will be exalted by God our Lord.

  • Everyone sins. No one is perfect, that is what the video is portraying. It is also saying that even though we are all sinners that isnt the end. We still have a choice at eternal life. The cross and the most significant event that took place on the cross is a symbol to everyone. The sunday school version of how to be a Christian is the best way to say it, even though it is cliche,' Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.'

  • Both SarahM1308 and NightOfTheShape2 have very good points. It is healthy to have arguments about religion, it allows for both sides to, hopefully, learn if they are willing. But when it turns into a very heated argument that's taking away from the meaninig of each side and making the goal to win as opposed to inform and learn.

  • Comment removed

  • I completely agree with the dude/dudette under me.

    If we believe, we do not have to justify it. For our justification is in Christ's death and resurrection.

    And the only judgment that matters is God's. So lets quit fighting =]

    Reject the sin, not the sinner.

  • i love god what about you two that are arguing down there it says in the bible do not argue or complian for that it weakins the soul i forgot where its at but i know its there somewere

  • And don't go and say i'm not a good Christian because i don't know the bible off by heart, yes i want to but i just don't but that doesn't mean i'm not close to God or i don't read it and follow God's word.

  • Just because i argued back to support myself and others who feel the same way doesn't mean i hate you. In fact i probably admire you more than most atheists because at least you have some decent arguements that are more intelligent that just the usual "if God exists why do people die thing"

    And i don't really know quotes from the bible off by heart but what i'm saying is true and i know that because i only write what God is telling me to write. I'm not making any of this stuff up.

  • And anyway, NightOfTheShape2, what would you know about worship seen as you don't believe in God. You may know alot about religion but you clearly don't know anything about what's truly important, that is the relationship Christians enter into with God when they accept Christ as their saviour. I really don't know much about what the Pope or other high religious people think about how Christians should act, i only know that God loves every one of us and wants us to be with Him forever.

  • Have you ever read what Jesus died for ??

    He died so our sins could be FORGIVEN! Everyone sin's so if what you were saying is true then no one would be able to be with Christ.

    The video is saying that even though we sin, Jesus will still forgive us, NOT that because Jesus will forgive us we should sin or it doesn't matter. It's clearly not saying that because it shows how bad her life was when she was sinning and so saying we shouldn't, we should obey God instead.

  • That is not what the video is saying.

  • ummm i love it this but it looks like she is scared to fall but otherwise so good i love it!

  • so believe in god all you people and pray and love one another

  • every man will face god in jugdement some day so you may deny him now i want him to save u later

  • sorry for the critisism because i love this, but the different angles are REALLY distracting.

  • sorry you feel that way. It's not any different than watching a live concert on TV though. Thanks for watching.

  • yeah you're right. lol its probably just me cause im really distractable. but man i dont think theres anything you could to to this skit that would make it any less beautiful. loveee it.

  • @Djshew

    Actually, it IS different than watching a live concert on TV....because live concerts on TV are directed by professionals who have been trained to make cuts at the right places.

    People are confused because you're "crossing the line" / violating the "180 degree rule" (google it) when you make some of your cuts. The way you (or whoever) edited this makes it unwatchable...it's really just an honest beginner mistake dude. admit to it.

    Learn to accept simple criticism.

  • @VforVideo

    thanks for the comments. Although, I am a professional and the "breaking of the 180 degree rule" was intentional. The cutting of this video was entirely for continuity reasons. The reason why the rule was not obeyed, was because the actress in this video is disoriented with all of these different decisions. Therefore I decided to shoot and edit this way to give the audience the movement of disorientation. haha, not a beginner mistake. Stanley Kubrick was the king of this. Google it.

  • @Djshew

    You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, but thanks for reading one line on Wikipedia :) Stanley Kubrick was not the "king of this".

  • @VforVideo Scenario breakdown....this video was shot during about 4 practice runs with two cameras. The cameras were re-positioned during each take. The problems that developed during editing were that the performers were not in same positions during each take at specific parts of the song. Thereform was limited to specific takes because of this reason to follow continuity. I agree, it can be distracting because of the amount of unnecessary cuts. But, your 180 rule was entirely intentional.

  • @Ilovesummer14 Those arnt angels they are things that have pulled away the person for god

  • We are but only if the purpose is to help people know Him not to make ourselves look like a better person or to portray that we are somehow more holy or more religious than other people. There is really no such thing as TRUE religion or worship, we worship God in any way we think portrays what we want to say and that is what people are doing by watching or taking part in this skit. What would you say an example of true religion and worship is then if this isn't?

  • No, Total change of life is not true religion it is total change of life. True religion isn't just for the all holy people that think that because they spend their life talking about God and stuff that they are somehow closer to God than everyone else it is for everyone and even the slightest ecperience with God is true religion because anything to do with God is if it is taken in the right way.

  • And i needed to take a new comment to make my most inmportant point lol. But anyway what is true religion if this isn't ?? This is a way of showing people their wrong ways and helping them to realise that they can turn back to the Lord, that they don't have to give up hope altogether. It can help people on the way to becoming Christians and so i don't think you should disregard things like this altogether when they can provoke change in someone's life.

  • I would have to disagree. For some people yes it might just make them cry and stuff and then they'll go back to their old ways but this kind of thing can have a profound effect on some peoples lives when they realise all the things that have went wrong in their life and taken them further away from Jesus. And it is worship, everything can be worship. It doesn't just have to be singing and raising your hands to the Lord you can do it through anything.

  • I love all the camera cuts this version uses.

  • its so powering it rreally touches and tells a sotry

    on how you can loose the path of faith and your walk with god

  • I like all of these variations, but I believe the one done at teh church event I went to was the best, because well they were just a bit more dramatic I suppose. I mean like one part I think they actually hurt the main character for effect and when they are dragging her back the fellow actors were not afraid to actually throw her away from the actor playing Jesus. To me it had a more prfounding effect. I talked to the girl later about that and she said. "I have thick skin!" LOL

  • i watched this skit at a church event it brought me to tears because it relates to everyone and the life they live.

    I loved it.

  • There are many variations of this video, but let's not forget that the message is still the same ... Our Savior is Christ Jesus (Trinity).

  • I CRY EVERY TIME I WATCH THIS :(

    ... It is amazing the LOVE Jesus has for us. His love for us is endless ..

  • Our youth group did this in church today. OH MY! I cried and I wasn't alone. It moved everyone.

  • omg loved it made me cry x

  • needs emotion.

  • good job but not the best one i have seen. but as of this moment i can't seem to find the one i'm looking for so i am settling for this one

  • This video is so awesome, it has brought tears to my eyes and I am so moved. THis was an awesome skit and what a great time to receive this skit from a friend. God Bless everyone and always know that our creator is the only one who will never abandon us.

  • I saw this skit live over the weeked. Different grou but I've been looking at all the videos fo it and each time it makes me wanna cry! The part where Jesus holds back all those people reminds me of when Jesus got on the Cross. Anyways the people did a GREAT job. Keep doing God's work God bless

  • I love this video!!!!!!! I cry and get shivers everytime I see it...

  • okay... im totally sitting her right now crying so hard i can barely type... this is so beautiful i cant even describe it.... thank you so much for bringing the light to my eyes.

  • THe First time I saw this performed (live) 2 years ago. I didn't understand what it meant, but seeing this really makes sense.

    This is also one of the best groups i've seen

  • I was so moved by this video it brought me to tears and for me I felt the holy spirit move inside of me.....all I can say is WOW!!!!!!

  • I agree with Alldapgirl.... This one is probably the most moving of all the other "EVERYTHING" skits that i have seen.... and believe me i've seen them all many times... lol. God is Goood

  • I've seen this skit done by many groups .. but I have to say this one is the better of them all.. Thank you for your posting. It really pulls on every heart string...

  • Everytime I see this, I just begin weeping

  • ... It leaves me speechless everytime I see this. I get shivers down my back all the time while watching it, the Lord is so moving. It;s just unbelievable how forgiving and loving our Lord is. Amen to the lord. Also, very good job to everyone who did this play!

  • this is amazing. fantasmically amazing. it sums up life here on Earth with God.

  • i saw this performed at my church when i was going thru some of this...and some i am still battling with..i got to a point where i was hurt and discarded by others and felt i was truly alone. i cried out to the Lord to save me, 'don't leave me Lord. i have lost everything and everyone else, but don't let me lose you.' the pain was undescribable. i felt as if hope was lost and i'd remain alone and without hope, protection, or love. But He was working n he has healed that pain and shown me love.

  • ive been through so much of this in life.

    and i havnt lived long; and yet its as if god pulled me through it all.

    this really changed me as a person <3.

    this is a beauitful skit :) and makes me understand, and gives me faith and hope for something to believe in, even if i feel hes not there, he always seems to be the one protecting me and guiding me through life. :)

    amazing vid 5/5 ! ^^

  • i cry everytime i see this skit

  • i did this at my church and it was great.

    for those of you who are gonna do this skit

    i suggest u pray hard and just totally be in the lord, expecially when the time that ur gonna perform ur skit because the devil will try so hard to mess u up.

    because that was the same that happend to me.i got the flu the day before i was about to do the skit and i just started to pray and fast and i was so much better that i performed the next day.

    God is truely amazing he will change ur life forever.

  • amen.

  • i always want to cry whenever i listen to this and cry when i watch this. i went through something like this...glad i got through it.

  • were gonna do this skit 4 the new years at my church. we kinda changed it a little though.

  • anyone who is in a situation like that will understand the message and though we're not very touching full of sense.

  • i love this skit, the first time i saw it i wasnt a christain and the lord just opened my eyes.

  • that's exactly the same with me. :)

  • i used to be in a dark fog that i couldn't get out of, i was suffacating! but then i joined a Bible club and they showed us this video! This brought me to tears! Thank You Lord!

  • EXCELENTE MAEESTRO, MIS RESPETOS!!!

  • I'm not a Christian or religious at all but I thought this was really great. Very touching and they did a very good job with it.

  • what's with the fourth? how could that be a temptation?

  • her self image. to get skinnier. insecurity. thats why she is throwing up

  • poor self image

  • this brings tears to my eyes every time i see it, my brother took part in a version of this it was absoloutly amazing!!! i love jesus christ with all my heart and after watching this it makes me love him even more god bless!

  • its really cool but check out a version buy CALVARY CHAPLE SAWGRASS .... KEEP ROCKIN

  • oh my! what an inspirational video.. for soo many years I kept God out of my life, and when I brought him back in, it was the best thing I ever did. This video portrays my life almost perfectly!! Thank you Lord for always being my strength, you amaze me everyday. No words could describe how much you mean to me!

    Thanks for this video.. it is AMAZING!!

  • Amazing job with production!

    A bit of constructive criticism: the actors need to display more extreme emotions on their faces. Joy, desparation, hatred, relief, happiness and other emotions needed in this skit cannot be contrived from a stone face actor no matter how wonderfully they act with their bodies. Kind of like with sign language.

    But honestly, this was very spot on in all other regards.

    Well done!

  • I somewhat agree but as I have learned in acting claqsses you can portay somewhat with the body only . I learned this through using Neutral masks it helped me use more body language but your right about the face it does help sorta complete the performance.

  • Agreed. A little more emotion would've been nice, but aside form that, great performance!

  • i saw this skit for the first time on sunday man did it change my perceptive of god it help me realize that no matter what i go through god has the power to bring me out and that he is always there for me even when i turn my back on him i thank him for his mercy

  • i think i like this one better then the ones on youtube

  • wooaooo yo hago esa obra..

    k guapo jesus jajaj

    lindo lindo lindo..

    igual el k la hace de satanas

    besitos

  • this video is amazing!! God is sooooo amazing! This video really shows it.

  • i love you God!!!

  • God is love

  • This is the most awesomest video ever its sooooooo true i love it

  • OH....Oh, ...NOW-I get it-I somehow feel complete now...*?

    Simpleton. Prov.1:22

  • Our Lord is not made weak in this video, our own choices pull us away from him, we are living by grace not forced to serve. Make a choice who is it you will serve today.

  • "Hey", Brainwashed!! Jesus is my Lord!

    "choose who you will serve"?? wtf?

    He chose me. This video and bad pantomime are an insult, put your faith in something else.

  • "who can resist His will"....?????????????

  • It's cool.....so you don't believe. That's your choice. But yet don't mock those who have faith in god. You ever watch the discovery channel? Do you realize how big this universe is? Do you realize how small we really are? There is a creator of all of this.

  • wow...

    i'll pray for you.

  • our Lord is made to be a weak nothing in this vid. you should really just hide in a hole.

    Bad pantomime btw

  • huhuhu so amazing.. i love you jesus

  • that girl could of used the pistol and shoot those sins and would make it easier to come to Jesus(the actor on this video)

  • haha...yeah, but then no message would have been portrayed. Except violence, and that's definately not good.

  • i was only joking but your right, what kind of message would be portrayed?

  • haha, I know you were only joking.

  • And anyway, Who says that these demons are in a body that can be shot? The devile could put demonic thoughts into her mind that would cause her to do the things that she does.... That is normally the case....but that you would not be able to see here.

  • YES!

    JESUS IS AMAZING!

  • Dude...where do u get such beastly, awesome, amazing, life changing videos?

  • what do you mean, where do I get them?

  • God Loves you all! He is the way! God bless all who take in this vid. and act this skit and praise his name!!!!

    Praise God, my lord and savior. God bless you all.

  • Hallelujah

    Amen :)

  • Esse video é maravilhoso assim como o Senhor é conosco Deus é fiel e Ele nos ama de verdade

  • Praise Jah!

  • Thank u Man for being my guide. God...you rule! U rock! U own! :)

  • oh my gosh.

    this video really

    touched me.

    it put tears in my

    eyes.

    i really needed this.

  • Our youth in South Africa did this skit at one of our alive music events, more than 30ppl got saved. we took it with us on a mini outreach and even more came to know the LORD though i've been a part of this skit for so long it still moves me to tears. this is a very good video!!! it rocks!!! it reminds me of when i got saved but also of the ongoing process of walking with Jesus!! thanks 4 an awesome vid.

  • oh my gosh

    that was soo cool....they showed us that at out youth event at our bootcamp one where we stay up to about midnight and worship God. And I could just imagine our youth doing that

  • i love this skit they did a wonderful job on it
