A pair of ads about Jesus will air on Super Bowl Sunday as part of a Christian group's efforts to spread a message of love and understanding to 100 million people.

The $20 million advertising campaign, funded in part by the family behind religious craft store chain Hobby Lobby, as well as Christian groups and other anonymous donors, will kick off with two ads centered on the idea that when it comes to Jesus, "He Gets Us."

At a time when the U.S. Christian population is down and religion has become a divisive topic, the group hopes to reach as many as possible and help spread the message of Jesus, who Christians believe is the Son of God.


"It fits with our target audience really well," campaign spokesperson Jason Vanderground told The Associated Press about the upcoming ads. "We’re trying to get the message across to people who are spiritually open, but skeptical."

Big opportunity to tell more about how Jesus loved us by dying on the cross so that we could be forgiven but decided to go the weak route instead. The Gospel could have been preached more clearly.

"Weak" is one way of putting it, but IMO those ads didn't really convey any coherent message. A lot of money was wasted on them.

I too found them amazingly weak...

BUT I'm pleased when ANYTHING remotely Christian is welcomed as free speech. National Right to Life and other organizations have TRIED to air pro-life commercials during the Super Bowl and not been permitted.

It's interesting that some liberals and Democrats are pretty upset over the ads. Revealing. See AOC roasted for calling Christian Super Bowl ad a front for 'fascism': 'Are you a theologian now?' With Democrats calling these ads "fascist" I doubt the networks will air anything like this again.

You do have a point there, all right. Just to have a Super Bowl commercial that says to pay attention to Jesus is a surprise.

In that situation, we have a self-identified Socialist calling people Fascists for liking football, which would seem to be further evidence that whatever that side accuses its opposition--or the American people generally--of amounting to, it's very close to what the accuser is himself or herself represents.

Think also of "science denier" coming from people who deny that an unborn child is human, or of "conspiracy theorist" coming from supporters of the series of "Russian asset" tales that were concocted in order to undo the Trump administration.
