A dazzling performance

Probably many of you won´t find this video appealing at all. I know how fiercely criticized the Church, as well as its members, have always been. However, I am a Catholic and, though I may or may not agree with some principles the ecclesiastic institution still holds, I do believe in both Jesus and The Bible and I try to follow my religion as much as I can. I´m making this clear because it is necessary to know this in order to explain why I´ve decided to publish this video here.

A friend of mine once published it in her facebook and when I saw it I felt really pleased. Seeing all those people gathered together watching such a performance made me have goose pimples. The video shows in a quite clear and didactic way how Jesus has given his life for all of us. We are shown how the girl feels tempted by many vices and how others try to coax her into doing what they want her to do.

The song which accompanies the performance is highly effective since its “ups and down” (I don´t know anything about music) in its tones have been made to match all the different situations which are acted out. The loudest moments in the song are the climactic moments in the show, too. This makes the video even more dramatic and catchy.

Now, let me tell you there´s no need to be a Catholic or to follow any other religion to either watch or like the video. I´m sure we must have felt the need to have someone (and here I´m not restricting “someone” to mean Jesus!) to listen to us, to free us from those things that are worrying us, that are perturbing our minds and that can´t let us feel contented with our life or achievements. In this case, the video shows Jesus helping and freeing the girl. But I guess that the same we see him doing in this video is the same thing any other person (a friend, a relative, etc.) will do for us whenever we get the blues. How do you see it?
