One Million Moms Vs “Disturbing” Super Bowl Jesus Ad

Via email from hate group leader Monica Cole:

As Christians, One Million Moms’ biggest concern during Super Bowl LVIII was the incomplete and misguided “Foot Washing” ad from the He Gets Us movement. The commercial was partially true, as it showed the love of Jesus and how we can serve and love one another even with our differences.

Unfortunately, the movement’s “Foot Washing” ad missed the mark, because it never shared the Gospel so a person might put their faith in Jesus Christ in order to receive salvation. The ad missed the most important part of the Gospel – the truth that Jesus loved us so much that He died for us to save us from our sins.

Sharing only part of the truth can be extremely misleading, especially to those who are unsaved. It is also disturbing that the He Gets Us website describes Jesus as a mere storyteller instead of a Savior.

A few examples from the commercial included: a son washing his father’s feet, an officer washing the feet of a man in a dark alley, teens in different cliques at school, the feet of a young female at an abortion clinic, an alcoholic, a Muslim, a couple of protestors, a non-binary person’s feet being washed by a priest, a migrant woman, and others humbly shown together from different backgrounds and cultures.

Additionally disturbing, the FAQ page on the He Gets Us website also addresses the question about their stance on the LGBTQ+ community with these words:

“These are probably the most common questions we receive. And we understand why. Many of those who represent Jesus have made people in the LGBTQ+ community feel judged and excluded. And others in the Jesus community have simply ignored their stories and lived experiences.

“So let us be clear in our opinion. Jesus loves gay people and Jesus loves trans people. The LGBTQ+ community, like all people, is invited to explore the story of Jesus and consider his example of unconditional love, grace, and forgiveness of others. No matter who you are, YOU are invited to explore the story of Jesus and consider what it means for your life.”

The website fails to mention individual accountability for sin – and the subsequent need for repentance for those sins. So once again, He Gets Us shares an incomplete message.

As has been widely reported, the $100 million “He Gets Us” campaign is from a Hobby Lobby-funded group that has donated tens of millions to Republicans and anti-LGBTQ hate groups.
