I’ve been saved for 3 years, and this is the 3rd Good Friday of being redeemed. Thank you Lord!🎉❤

[@noahkelly8907]

This inspired me to write my own poem that I am presenting at school tomorrow. Pray for God’s protection

[@barbpfeil9303]

Share your poem here too if God is leading you for His glory! We need young people like you to show others your boldness! Amen

[@makennawallace679]

Dear Jesus I pray you give this person protection and thank you that people are willing to share you with others and help us to lead by your example also. Amen

[@AljohnInigo]

Noah, share your poem if you’re interested to share with us.

Goosebumps every single time I watch this, Every single Good Friday, and I will watch it with my wife and kids when I am with them, and share the Good News together as a family glorifying God. God bless you all

I come back to this video every year- if it’s a time we need Jesus the most is this year, happy Good Friday y’all

[@Musclemilk0075]

My life , forever changed, touched by God's hand. I am in awe of how a sinner like me can be forgiven. Praise your name Lord Jesus Christ. God Bless all those who do not know Him. Thank you Jesus.

[@aprilmarie4395]

WOW! I have never seen anything done like this before. Someone is really talented to be able to turn it all around like that! What a WONDERFUL TRUTH!

[@clarencechanxy]

Oh my God… i just got mindblown when the cycle reversed. What was doomed became life, thanks to Jesus. Amazing work on this video whoever created it.

[@keithjepsen1742]

This is one of the best KZbin videos that I have ever watched! Thank you God, for your plan of redemption. Not one of us is worthy of your holiness, but the blood of your only son Jesus provided a way back to you. I am forever grateful.

[@pamdcruz6168]

Amen ! Thank You Lord for the work of Redemption, the forgiveness of sins and Eternal life! You paid it all in full for us ! It is finished and we are blessed and restored!!

[@monkeyhoe4815]

The single greatest sacrifice in human history. That line gets me, every single time. ❤️

[@gretelhance]

True

[@wallen4319]

That broke me, I’ve struggled this morning feeling “ dirty” how to reconcile the “ good “. And the “ Friday”. That show me to the core , I pray it may shake the foundations of Earth,, and break others lost like it broke me. Only for His name and renown, for Hid glory. Thank you for putting this out

[@mertozelmusic]

PRAISE TO YOU LORD Jesus Christ KING OF ENDLESS GLORY +

[@vixsteeplayz0077]

The most impacting video in the history of KZbin. This author was without a doubt, divinely inspired or even directed to write this by God Himself. Anyone who watches this that is not saved by His blood should delve Into the Gospel and read about the greatest gift in all of human history, the gift of salvation by Jesus Christ our Lord.

[@nightfury3135]

Goosebumps. Every time I watch/listen. PRAISE GOD for His good gift!!!👏❤

[@NewHeartChurchcrc]

I love when it went down everything was sad. and totally changed when it went up! That was mind blowing.

[@Memeak-yn5rq]

At the beginning of the year, I was at the lowest point of my life. I was struggling with my faith, I almost got a corn addiction, and my life felt boring. But during lent, I turn things around. Now I feel better than before, I finally understand Good Friday, and I feel closer to God than I ever had. Praise to you o Lord Jesus Christ

[@kikit-o8133]

Continue to follow Jesus! Have faith to come to God and ask for forgiveness through His Son, Jesus! And follow Him :) you're not alone!!

[@Memeak-yn5rq]

@@kikit-o8133 thank you for your support

[@robinsalomondye9129]

Corn addiction??

[@flowersalsolive]

Awesome!!! Praying for you this morning, friend!

[@Memeak-yn5rq]

@@robinsalomondye9129 replace the letter c with p. When people say I love watching corn, they mean the other thing. But God got me through.

[@shalu_miny]

This was the most beautiful and wholesome thing anyone could ever watch. Hope being restored after we feel shattered and broken. No one can make us feel that except God. God bless those who took part in making this wonderful video!!

[@ellenandersen5827]

Powerful. Jesus' life, crucifixion and resurrection reversed it all

[@kevchua67]

Wow ... Was it tears that was about to escape my eyes as I watched? Have a real Good Friday everyone.

[@mercedestorres4278]

Same to you💕💕💕😘😍

[@n.holt7]

You to brother.

[@joemvin.j3-16]

Just Jesus !! 🙏🙏🙏 My Lord, my Saviour!! Nothing else is important! I truly want to meet Him at The Gate of Heaven! And to enter through The Gate - and see my Mom & Dad, my brother, and 2 siblings I never met.

[@sharileeoutloud3883]

I had anaphylaxis to penicillin as a small child. I went to Heaven. I bounded a stair to turn a doorknob, and Jesus whispered in my ear, "You can't go in there yet." I witnessed God on a throne, with 6 beings sitting in thrones on each side. God was brilliant glowing white energy, His face shone like the sun. I walked with Jesus on a clear bricked road. I saw thousands of Angels with huge white wings. I began to fly and an Angel took my hand and I was returned. God, Jesus and Heaven are Real. I will never forget what I saw... It is Glorious. Thank you Father God, that I may share this with others, Amen. Happy Easter Everyone!

[@mercedestorres4278]

SAME TO YOU 😍😘😚💕

[@rx7nigh1]

INSPIRING!! God bless all of us (and you!). Happy Easter everyone

[@sharileeoutloud3883]

God bless you all, God bless our world, Amen.

[@n.holt7]

Unfortunately this testimony cannot be validated, it was probably just your brain, and even if it wasn't then it still holds no relevance on what the truth is. Joseph Smith and many others claimed the same thing but that doesn't make their testimony true. In the Bible multiple people (over 500) saw Christ risen from the grave, in your vision it was just u and there is no way for anyone to know whether u are lying or deceived or right. I say this not to shake your faith but to say that your personal testimony is no stronger than that of Joseph Smith and he was a false prophet. There is plenty of evidence for God's existence and Jesus Christ but a personal testimony isn't one of them. God bless and have a happy Easter.

[@Christusolus]

I BELIEVE IT!

[@soundbeverage3964]

When the text stops scrolling and the words start appearing red, you know something is about to go down

[@michelleyuzik2839]

Good Friday was MUST to fulfill Scripture!

[@KristenGregory1]

When we come in contact with Jesus Christ who is God in the flesh we can't stay the same because he came to give us life when nothing else could. Sin can't bring us peace, joy, love and most of all make us right with our Creator and redeemer but his son alone shedding his precious blood is only cure! God Bless

[@DeadForsett]

We should not even deserve to be with god “our sin stopped his heart, our sin drove the nails firmly in the hands of god.” But Jesus is more than what we could ever imagine and he chose us.

[@godsbelovedchild1810]

Was super moved by the visual effects and how the lines were initially scrolling down to describe the pain that Jesus suffered, and suddenly reversing to show how His suffering brought us freedom and reconciliation with God! This is definitely the best video telling the story of Jesus I've ever watched!!

[@marynagle5425]

WOW!!!!!!! 😀 Thank you Lord!!!!!!

[@americanmoodswing]

I shared this with everyone I know ... God lives✝️ THANK YOU Jesus ✨

[@livviebattaglia]

Woah...I'm literally shaking. No joke. This was sent to me from my worship leader (I'm going to be part of the worship team) yesterday, and I didn't watch it until today...this is crazy, and somehow, it's what I needed to hear this morning. Thank you for posting this, Passion. God bless

O sent this to a friend who's autistic son was questioning how God was good when He let Jesus die on the cross. She never said if they watched it as they are atheist but I hope they did

[@crazytam3]

Always get emotional of the torture Jesus went through and yet he never said a word or fought back because WE WERE ON HIS MIND THROUGH IT ALL.. Thank you God for sending your only son, Thank you for your generosity, thank you for your love.. Our sins forgiven; ever lasting eternity forever & ever.. Amen..

[@lindahawk966]

Thank you for creating this video. It speaks powerfully and I'm blessed when I watch it.

[@davidandrin6017]

This is honestly the best video i've ever watched!

[@AnalPro74]

In Estonia we call it „Great Fryday” (Suur reede)

[@AnalPro74]

And also...

[@AnalPro74]

Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins, but upon the trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit. O omnipotence of Divine Mercy, salvation of sinful man, You are a sea of mercy and compassion. You aid him who entreats You with humility. Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy forever and ever. Amen. Recite the Divine Mercy Chaplet

[@rondaj3606]

I watch this every Good Friday. I saw it in church one year and it is one of the most powerful things I have ever seen. God bless the person who created this.

wait who raised him from the dead. And if he was divine then how did he die in the first place. I thought god was supposed to be allpowerful and immortal

[@-.Sneezer.-]

This was played at chapel one day at school, at first I thought "ok, what are they gonna show us now" and then I didn't rlly seem to care for the video, but then when it said "God is dead." I kinda got confused as I had learned that God never dies, then it all reversed and I got chills literally from the top of my head to my feet. and I then started paying more attention and I kept getting those chills, every time it spoke truth. Now I'm showing this video to everyone in my family, and showing friends. This is just amazing.

[@eudokia1000]

Wow, Just saw this during a Good Friday Zoom service. One of the most moving things I’ve ever seen x it has left me weeping.

[@constructmaster6280]

Beautifully executed. Text descending, down, down, down, down perhaps even into Hell. Vague, unconnected white lights. And then Jesus completes His work. Text rising, returning to the surface and ascending beyond. The lights are connected, forming a bridge and then patterns and clouds. And then we end right where we started, Good Friday, and it certainly is good. Note that the descending text ends how the rising text begins, allowing for the return upward to come as a surprise.

[@shygirlflygirl]

This past Good Friday was my first time seeing this and I can't wait to meet Jason Dyba when we get to heaven to tell him how much it impacted me at a time when I felt like I was dead inside.

[@PerksOnMission]

My goodness. This is amazing.

[@paulap9043]
