During one of the initial commercial breaks of the 2024 Super Bowl, Come Near aired its advertisement showcasing various individuals washing someone’s feet in an attempt to emulate Jesus.
However, numerous individuals believed that the ad failed to capture the true essence of the Biblical message.
The purpose of the ad was to bring attention to HeGetsUs.com, a campaign designed to “remind everyone, including ourselves, that Jesus’ teachings are about compassion and acceptance, rather than exclusion,” as stated on the group’s website.
The advertisement consists of twelve different scenes, each depicting one person washing another’s feet.
The majority of these scenes portray white individuals as the ones performing the act of washing.
Interestingly, none of the scenes feature a minority individual washing the feet of a white person. Furthermore, some scenes even seem to convey a message to white Christians, urging them to overcome any prejudices they may hold.
One scene, in particular, portrays a white priest washing the feet of an individual who appears to be a member of the LGBTQ community.
Another scene shows an older white woman washing the feet of a displeased young woman outside a Family Planning Clinic.
WATCH:
Blasphemy.
Don’t fall for this satanic symbolism.
