Jesus said forgive them..for they know not what they do. If you believe he died for you or not doesn't change the truth. He did. He has already forgiven you. You need to forgive yourselves. He is still waiting on you. He loves you. All you need to do is ask. I'm praying for you.
trust can be a hard thing... which is what this shows. The thing is with some of these skits is that they are blunt. Sometimes if you aren't ready for that... or the truth it talks about ... it can make people defensive. The good thing is... that even if people are just coming on here to watch and they say bad things. At least they're watching. Maybe hopefully... somehow without they're realizing it some of the truth in these videos will begin to seep in. As a loving creator seeks after them.
Hey guys, I really appreciate the effort and talent that you put into these videos. I remember when I stumbled across them so many years ago. I have been able to use them in private conversations as illustrations so many times. And I was able to use your living for Jesus clip during one of my few speaking moments at church. I plan on using this one about trusting Jesus when I speak next month. Just fantastic stuff. They have helped me in Normas Lee. I personally want to thank you for the difference that these illustrations have made in my own life. Way to go guys.
Be careful what you say.... Jesus died for you...Jesus died to give you eternal life (only if you accept him in your heart) ....He is waiting for you. open him your heart, trust him.
This is a nice piece of art - there is an open ending: you decide what the end tells (you). This is why it is so important: because it makes you think.
Oh my goodness... I love this. It really makes me think about my relationship with Jesus and how I need to be willing to trust him even if it looks like no one is standing behind me to catch me. At church we perform a lot of onetimeblind skits...im going to see if we can do this one sometime =)
sorry you feel that way.. but no matter what you believe it doesn't shake truth.. only Jesus can truely deliever and change.. and I pray that you come to know him.. :)
@TheJohnFrum believe me i have been on the other side and the best day of my life is when i accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and received His love and opened my heart to Him instead of blocking Him.i realised how lost i was and now i rejoice in Him...Jesus loves you very much but you have to make a choice..either accept Him and let Him help you or deny Him and you face the consequencies...john8:32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
This is awesome! At first I didn't get it... but when I tried to see it in my life I noticed that when things are going wrong we it's easier to say "everything is gonna be ok, cause I trust God". But when things are actually starting to be ok I take it for granted and feel like I'm alone. When Jesus is right in front of us we can only look at ourselves instead of trying to go further =( Thank you for this video! God bless you guys!
@clipsryan why dont you just try it ? just try letting god speak to you. and just try letting his grace fill you up. honestly, theres nothing to loose. you really try and you find god then you have eternal happiness..thats a plus for you! god doesnt put you on a leash and whip you when you do wrong, he gives you choices and you decide what is right. god can do miracles. and if there is bad happening in this world, its because god is telling us to WAKE UP! just try..you have nothing to loose.
@carbronica She wouldn't because Jesus would be able to catch her somehow. He's right in front of you already, so why don't you trust him? He can reach out to you and catch you, so just trust him and fall back. But for some people, even when Jesus is there for you and you know it, still can't do it. This video made me think.
Now that I am where I am, I realize that maybe, perhaps, some people out too much emphasis on "believe in Jesus or you go to hell". I stopped looking at what would happen to me if I denied him, and all of the things I could accomplish with him by my side. its about love, and trust
@Caparajo well, whats harm of trusting God..if He is for real..He will help you like HE says,save you and show you the way and if He is not..there is nothing to loose...its better to trust Him and give Him a chance to show you of His existence as He reveals Himself to you than living a worldly life and in the end you end up in eternal suffering. there is joy that is inexpressible in the Lord..there is peace and amazing grace..unending love and He is very patient with us.God bless you
I have faith in Jesus, faith to believe that you could come to know Him, faith to know that America will wake up and send a message during the elections, faith to believe that even someone like you can know the peace and joy that comes from trusting Jesus. But you do have one thing wrong, the point of the video was that you have to put your faith in action, so me and a few million of my fellow believers will be at the poll, see you there
@clipsryan it's not a threat. you don't have to go to hell and God doesn't send people to hell. He gives you a choice. And He also gives you time to make that choice. Time to come to Him and learn more about Him.
@atheistdawn: Jesus is not religion. Jesus is our God. He died for us. And scientists are just trying to come up with explanations just trying to prove something. But the more they come up with stuff, the more Christians get closer to God. No one can explain why they think the ark was found, and what about in space where we do not even know how long it goes on? God is for real and there's nothing anyone can say that will change my mind about it. And I will be praying for you! God bless!
It's funny how Jesus was about the 1,000th man to do what he did, yet the large majority of Christians don't know about the others because they refuse to do any research that might make them question their faith.
@TheJohnFrum ..if you say so..and by the way, God is not about religion or religion acts..with God its about having a close relationship with Him and as you get to know Him...He shows you the right direction...romans6:23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
The version of this skit they did live ended a bit different. The person did trust Jesus and an angle appeared behind her and caught her. Both versions are powerful.
@Ghestahl2006 Jesus will never let you fall. This video doesn't mean you physically fall and get hurt because thats not what He wants for us. It means we don't see things that jesus does. He has a plan for all of our life's and its the best kinda life you can live. But if your not willing to trust in him your going to look at it like the girls perspective in the video. She doesn't think he can catch her because he's not in back of her when in reality he will never let us fall.
Guys thank you for these skits. Some of the comments on here make me sad to think that this is the kind of feedback your getting. You guys do a great job and I believe you have been blessed with a gift that is hard to come by. Your creativity is refreshing. I use your skits for my youth group often and they love the skits. They are powerful, but funny and the teens really like that. I hope you keep them coming.
@Caparajo I'm not sure what Machines and slavery had to do with what we were talking about but all I know is that we should have more faith in ourselves our own potential rather then some leaving everything up to some entity we're not even sure exist. That's all i'm saying.
@TheJohnFrum do you know anything to do with grace (undeserved favour).. you know the truth yet you dont want to believe..i pray that God will pour out His grace upon you and lead you to repentance because if not..you will regret and despite all this, God still loves you so much..
@shyladave How do I know they had never heard the gospel...Because until 1450AD, the European and North African nations had no idea that the continents of North and South America even existed. There was ZERO contact.
@TheJohnFrum God is so Holy and faithful and He has given you the ability to Choose the right or wrong..it only means that if you choose the wrong direction you will face the consequencies(eternal suffering) but when you accept Him and allow Him to help you, build you up and strengthen you..He will be with you every step of the way..He loves you.John10:10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;I have come that they may have life,and have it to the full.
@tazique if God is just a thought in my head or a feeling in my heart, im okay with that because He saved my life with love. other religions have alot of good to them , the reason why i do not believe in them is because they do not get to have an intimate relationship with their god. i like being loved (well heck who doesnt?) and that is what God does. When i trust Him or when i dont he still lives (unlike us who are selfish and stupid). I know that was a long explanation. but if you have any
Yep, it's a little difficult to understand what it means if you do not have relationship with Jesus Christ. When you are born again, you will learn to put your faith and trust and total surrender to the Savior, God's only begotten Son whom He gave to us that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have everlasting life.
We've lived with boxes packed for a year lookin'like fools as we kinda build an ark in our yard.God's moving our family to Alaska to open &care for a homeless teen center.Can you IMAGINE the love kids will know when we finally are able to look into their eyes &tell them God has moved mountains turned our lives upside down just for us to get to them? Proverbs 3:5-6 This stuff is real.
@CoffeeCaramela Sorry, I meant, what do you mean nobody would want their "God" around. As in, you have experienced someone that did that? Please explain; thank you.
@clipsryan You need to clarify your statement. Just because I question your statement does not mean that it is denial. You need to understand that. So, I believe my answer to you is your last statement there. A phallus does not exactly have much to do with looks. God is neither man or woman because He is the creator of both men and women in his image. I hope that answers your question.
@Caparajo .... but we don't mind cause it's more easiest to stay in that "happy world" that to face the fact that we don't control our body or or mind ore this world.
@clipsryan i'm going to be completely honest tell you that i don't really get what you're trying to say. Christians believe in hell just as much as they believe in Heaven. it's not punishment and it's not "bs" either. if it was punishment, everyone would be going there but like i said, God gave you a choice. Life is all about choices isn't it? You don't have to go to hell. And I bet there are people who are saved just to avoid hell and aren't going to church every Sunday.
@ludaXkillz @ludaXkillz how do you know that they have never heard the gospel?there were missionaries and God does His own work reaching out to all of us for it doesnt matter where we come from,we are all loved by God.there is no distiction for He is the Lord of all!! as for your question,only God can answer that.jeremiah33:3Call to Me and I will answer you,and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.God bless you always and remember..God loves us all so much
@shyladave So, do you think that everyone born in Sub Saharan Africa, North America, and South America went to hell for the hundreds of years in which they had never even heard of Christianity?That doesn't seem too fair.
@tazique kid that is contending with you (btw, people who call themselves Christians and argue out of hate dont really do all to much except for irritate those that just have an opinion to be heard) God is pretty consistent, i think that it is us that cant make up our mind. i mean most of us cant even figure out what to wear. look at history, it's pretty consistent, so is the weather, i think that is due to God. any who, i dont mean to stir the pot even more but when you argue about this jusr
@clipsryan GEEEZE LOUISE. so you think all of us christians are just being crazy? we are deffinitly doing this for a reason. please just TRYY!!! you got nothing to loose ! all of us here are just trying to spread gods word. its your choice to try or not to..
@KingArthur13th yea, but the problem starts when you say "stick with whats real" how you know what is real and what isn't , you think what you see with your ayes is real, and what you can't see isn't real. Have you seen movie "Matrix"? there is really good example- we live our lives and are quite happy about whats happening but in real life we are slaves to machines. It's something similar to our lives, only the machines are our sin and demons who keep slaving us.... ....
Well, I have no truck with what you believe and chose to follow if it works for you. But I have to say the "heart" (meaning feelings) is not a pathway to reliable knowledge. Feelings are not tools of cognition or methods of understanding. Feelings tell us nothing about reality except that we feel a certain way about it. Peace.
@Ghestahl2006 i totally understand what your saying. no hard feelings there. and yes i agree.. people who hold up those signs are mentally disturbed or something.. lol.. because its stupid. christianity isnt a religion. too many people make it out to be one..but when you dig down to the roots of it it is simply having a personal relationship with your creator. its that simple.. love. and thats the problem. too many people complicate it causing people (like you) to bail out on god. he LOVES you(:
@leadguitarist007 No, no. I meant it seems strange to me that you're saying people only want Jesus in their lives when they're unhappy. That's what I got out of your message...?
There are those who argue that religion is simply the act of loving God. There are people who use it as a platform to infringe on the rights of others, who use it to justify telling innocent gay kids to kill themselves, who justify suicide bombings using their faith. It's the latter that offend me. I try not to get too mad even at them though. I try to see with eyes unblinded by hate.
@clipsryan Thanks, there is a part that you are both missing, Jesus. thats it, yes God was angry... heck i would be too if my creation denied me and disobeyed me. He wanted to love all of them, he gave them so many chances. So he decided that if nothing else maybe they'll listen to their own flesh... well some did, others didnt like the sound of it so they killed him (even if you arent a "believer" this is historical fact so im not trying to push you... people like that drive me crazy) You ask
@clipsryan Okay lets us start with you. Do you believe that God exist because you are stating of what he did... Or do you just completely not believe in him. There is a big difference between these two statements.
@clipsryan my God is definitely consistent. No one says He is fair. But nothing is fair. Was it fair when they put Jesus on the cross? No. Is it fair now that people like you turn against Him calling Him out of His name and making fun of Christianity? No. Your argument is invalid because you're just pointing out everything that YOU see wrong with God. You can't validly argue this because YOU show that YOU know nothing about God. You're going from what you think is right. Well, you are wrong.
@leadguitarist007 I understand you, it just seems strange that no-one would bother to want their supposed all-loving savior around no matter what mood they're in.
Tiara Johnson | Well, everyone has problems... but that wasn't the point of my comment. I think you didn't get well my comment, but i'm glad that someone cared this way, thanks.
@tazique remember Jesus, he is Love, he died (biblically and historically) he loves you and I no matter what. God sent him for one last attempt at convincing us that there is so much more to the world than just this. there is Joy! crazy huh? There is so much more to all of this than "theistic" mumbo jumbo and legalistic crap... stuff that you can relate to. my story relates to many non christians ( idk what you have been through and im not assuming) and i wouldnt be alive without God. so even
@morgancook1011 And I suppose that since it's written in the bible, it must be a fact. Because the bible was written by the hand of God, and not people hearing voices in their heads and claiming it was God.
"Learn how human nature often keeps us from the very thing that will help us trust Him more." soooo god made us so that by our very nature we dont trust his son?....
@leadguitarist007 Just wondering, why do you keep saying 'you'll never know Jesus until you really need him?' It either implies that no atheists go through any hard times - when they do they all suddenly magically turn Christian (which is ridiculous of course, and I can testify from experience), or that Christianity makes such insane claims that the only time people are usually able to start believing it is when they're in a state of desperation and confusion...
OHH SHOOOT this is soo powerful, this is an extremely beautiful analogy.. thanks guys
Jesus said forgive them..for they know not what they do. If you believe he died for you or not doesn't change the truth. He did. He has already forgiven you. You need to forgive yourselves. He is still waiting on you. He loves you. All you need to do is ask. I'm praying for you.

Be careful what you say.... Jesus died for you...Jesus died to give you eternal life (only if you accept him in your heart) ....He is waiting for you. open him your heart, trust him.
I like these. They're short and to the point.
This is a nice piece of art - there is an open ending: you decide what the end tells (you). This is why it is so important: because it makes you think.
Oh my goodness... I love this. It really makes me think about my relationship with Jesus and how I need to be willing to trust him even if it looks like no one is standing behind me to catch me. At church we perform a lot of onetimeblind skits...im going to see if we can do this one sometime =)
Go outside and fall back see if he catches you. You must trust for this to work!
sorry you feel that way.. but no matter what you believe it doesn't shake truth.. only Jesus can truely deliever and change.. and I pray that you come to know him.. :)
I so love this! This spoke to me in so many volumes! Keep ministering for Jesus!
@TheJohnFrum believe me i have been on the other side and the best day of my life is when i accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and received His love and opened my heart to Him instead of blocking Him.i realised how lost i was and now i rejoice in Him...Jesus loves you very much but you have to make a choice..either accept Him and let Him help you or deny Him and you face the consequencies...john8:32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Thank you for this video!
God bless you guys!
awh i wanted to see what was gonna happen when she fell the second time! you should always trust Jesus!
i trust Jesus..
but where is He? 2012years my christian still waiting... people start to make up their own Jesus...
All these comment talk about human fear. The point of the video is...trust. Simply trust. Either you do or you don't.
@clipsryan why dont you just try it ? just try letting god speak to you. and just try letting his grace fill you up. honestly, theres nothing to loose. you really try and you find god then you have eternal happiness..thats a plus for you! god doesnt put you on a leash and whip you when you do wrong, he gives you choices and you decide what is right. god can do miracles. and if there is bad happening in this world, its because god is telling us to WAKE UP! just try..you have nothing to loose.
@carbronica She wouldn't because Jesus would be able to catch her somehow.
He's right in front of you already, so why don't you trust him?
He can reach out to you and catch you, so just trust him and fall back.

I love these guys! I saw them live back in the 90's and they were brilliant
@Caparajo well, whats harm of trusting God..if He is for real..He will help you like HE says,save you and show you the way and if He is not..there is nothing to loose...its better to trust Him and give Him a chance to show you of His existence as He reveals Himself to you than living a worldly life and in the end you end up in eternal suffering. there is joy that is inexpressible in the Lord..there is peace and amazing grace..unending love and He is very patient with us.God bless you
I'm going through this right now so this video really means a lot to me right now. Thank you for posting it.
thank you for this video
I NEEDED this today!!!!
Alwaysenjoy your videos. good messages.
wow, speechless
"Trust me even though I have nothing to prove for it, so when something good happens in your life you can attribute it to me!" - Jesus
I like the earlier version better too but this is good too!
I have faith in Jesus, faith to believe that you could come to know Him, faith to know that America will wake up and send a message during the elections, faith to believe that even someone like you can know the peace and joy that comes from trusting Jesus. But you do have one thing wrong, the point of the video was that you have to put your faith in action, so me and a few million of my fellow believers will be at the poll, see you there

some times we think that we trust Jesus. but do we really?
I paused Rush for this.

I don't understand why you must post negative comments if you don't like it or don't believe, don't watch it no one is forcing you to..
It's funny how Jesus was about the 1,000th man to do what he did, yet the large majority of Christians don't know about the others because they refuse to do any research that might make them question their faith.

@Caparajo It's best to face your failures and take them head on to keep your humanity and stick with whats real.
The version of this skit they did live ended a bit different. The person did trust Jesus and an angle appeared behind her and caught her. Both versions are powerful.
SirGalaEd how do I find that version or was it live
@Ghestahl2006

thanks guys keep up the great work.
also my sister in christ is sooooo cute acting in this video :)
@TheJohnFrum do you know anything to do with grace (undeserved favour).. you know the truth yet you dont want to believe..i pray that God will pour out His grace upon you and lead you to repentance because if not..you will regret and despite all this, God still loves you so much..
@clipsryan can i give this a go around? i dont mean to butt in... if its okay with you two though.
thanks :D
wow! this made me think! thanks [2]
@shyladave How do I know they had never heard the gospel...Because until 1450AD, the European and North African nations had no idea that the continents of North and South America even existed. There was ZERO contact.

sister in Christ is soooo cute
@tazique if God is just a thought in my head or a feeling in my heart, im okay with that because He saved my life with love. other religions have alot of good to them , the reason why i do not believe in them is because they do not get to have an intimate relationship with their god. i like being loved (well heck who doesnt?) and that is what God does. When i trust Him or when i dont he still lives (unlike us who are selfish and stupid). I know that was a long explanation. but if you have any
i believe in god. Please help me though why is it that jesus is the savior? and does one have to believe the lies in the bible?
Osm story wow 😲😲
Yep, it's a little difficult to understand what it means if you do not have relationship with Jesus Christ. When you are born again, you will learn to put your faith and trust and total surrender to the Savior, God's only begotten Son whom He gave to us that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have everlasting life.
@LiQvidMedia which is the earlier version?
thank you so much for these videos/skits. do not listen to people who write hateful comments and stuff. keep up the good work!
I like the earlier version better.
We've lived with boxes packed for a year lookin'like fools as we kinda build an ark in our yard.God's moving our family to Alaska to open &care for a homeless teen center.Can you IMAGINE the love kids will know when we finally are able to look into their eyes &tell them God has moved mountains turned our lives upside down just for us to get to them?
Proverbs 3:5-6
This stuff is real.
i know some of you guys don't believe, but it's kind of a thing on "why are you watching this just to bash?" moment when i read the comments..
Could you put a bigger water mark lmfao I don’t think I can see it well enough
better idea = trust yourself and reality
Wow...
@CoffeeCaramela Sorry, I meant, what do you mean nobody would want their "God" around. As in, you have experienced someone that did that? Please explain; thank you.

Wow what😢😢😢
@KingArthur13th :) when you trust yourself and reality you will Always face the failures.
@shyladave So, do you think that everyone born in Sub Saharan Africa, North America, and South America went to hell for the hundreds of years in which they had never even heard of Christianity?That doesn't seem too fair.

@Ghestahl2006 i totally understand what your saying. no hard feelings there. and yes i agree.. people who hold up those signs are mentally disturbed or something.. lol.. because its stupid. christianity isnt a religion. too many people make it out to be one..but when you dig down to the roots of it it is simply having a personal relationship with your creator. its that simple.. love. and thats the problem. too many people complicate it causing people (like you) to bail out on god. he LOVES you(:
@leadguitarist007 No, no. I meant it seems strange to me that you're saying people only want Jesus in their lives when they're unhappy. That's what I got out of your message...?
There are those who argue that religion is simply the act of loving God.
There are people who use it as a platform to infringe on the rights of others, who use it to justify telling innocent gay kids to kill themselves, who justify suicide bombings using their faith.
It's the latter that offend me. I try not to get too mad even at them though. I try to see with eyes unblinded by hate.
@clipsryan Thanks, there is a part that you are both missing, Jesus. thats it, yes God was angry... heck i would be too if my creation denied me and disobeyed me. He wanted to love all of them, he gave them so many chances. So he decided that if nothing else maybe they'll listen to their own flesh... well some did, others didnt like the sound of it so they killed him (even if you arent a "believer" this is historical fact so im not trying to push you... people like that drive me crazy) You ask
@clipsryan Okay lets us start with you. Do you believe that God exist because you are stating of what he did... Or do you just completely not believe in him. There is a big difference between these two statements.
@shyladave Answer me this, do you think God only accepts "good" people into its heaven?
@clipsryan my God is definitely consistent. No one says He is fair. But nothing is fair. Was it fair when they put Jesus on the cross? No. Is it fair now that people like you turn against Him calling Him out of His name and making fun of Christianity? No. Your argument is invalid because you're just pointing out everything that YOU see wrong with God. You can't validly argue this because YOU show that YOU know nothing about God. You're going from what you think is right. Well, you are wrong.
I tried this in my house. Jesus didn't catch me. #trustfailimconverting
@eviesingssongs but why did he have to die? why would god do such a horrible thing?
@leadguitarist007 I understand you, it just seems strange that no-one would bother to want their supposed all-loving savior around no matter what mood they're in.
Do you trust me?
Yes, catch me * jumps of a building *
Zoe Y.Ll. are you OK? Not sure how to take this... Please *don't* jump off a building..?
Tiara Johnson | Well, everyone has problems... but that wasn't the point of my comment. I think you didn't get well my comment, but i'm glad that someone cared this way, thanks.
Seemed like it could be taken one of 2 ways, maybe three. I was just checking :D glad your ok
Tiara Johnson | I feel so loved now, thanks :).
Damn

@tazique remember Jesus, he is Love, he died (biblically and historically) he loves you and I no matter what. God sent him for one last attempt at convincing us that there is so much more to the world than just this. there is Joy! crazy huh? There is so much more to all of this than "theistic" mumbo jumbo and legalistic crap... stuff that you can relate to. my story relates to many non christians ( idk what you have been through and im not assuming) and i wouldnt be alive without God. so even
why is it that people have such a blind faith in one religion with no real explanation, I could never understand that, please retort.
@clipsryan why do you care.. you planning to fool around ?
oOooOO deepness! ilik it!^^
@morgancook1011 And I suppose that since it's written in the bible, it must be a fact. Because the bible was written by the hand of God, and not people hearing voices in their heads and claiming it was God.
@clipsryan questions let me know. and by any i mean any. thanks for reading and sorry for the goofy @ responses, its been a long day.

"Learn how human nature often keeps us from the very thing that will help us trust Him more." soooo god made us so that by our very nature we dont trust his son?....
i dont understand
I don't get it.
@leadguitarist007 Just wondering, why do you keep saying 'you'll never know Jesus until you really need him?' It either implies that no atheists go through any hard times - when they do they all suddenly magically turn Christian (which is ridiculous of course, and I can testify from experience), or that Christianity makes such insane claims that the only time people are usually able to start believing it is when they're in a state of desperation and confusion...
@gunshow911 why are you asking people to lie to you?
@gorrellp Obvious you don't get it. I'll be praying that you figure it out before your time is gone.
