I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH

This video is a type of Passion Narrative, very powerful and filled with imagery. I was browsing through YouTube Looking for inspiration and guidance on learning new types of  music and I found this video. Basically its a story of a child who loves his father, adores him, and admires who he is, ultimately the unconditional love that we (Christians) are supposed to have for each other. The father is a dead beat who doesn't realize the special gift he has right in front of him (his son). He (the father) keeps shying away from his son, even in the midst of the son suffering, the father turns his back.  The son in obvious pain, he only sees his Dad once a year. As the father turns to leave the son (once again) the son spreads his arms and says "I love you this much". The son is waiting for the father to come to the realization that he Loves his son as much as his son loves him.

  The climactic event in this video is at the fathers funeral, the child is now a young man. As the young man goes to say his last goodbyes, he looks up and see's Christ on the chapel wall. In a dramatic change of events,  the child seems to hear Christ speak to him. The same words that the son uttered to his father when he was a child are the words that Christ utters to him. The same gesture (stretched out arms) that the child showed his father, was how he saw Christ in the chapel.

After watching this video, I thanked God for allowing me to have parents and grandparents, and family that played a vital part in my life. The pain that this child had to endure was intense. What really hit home for me is the fact that Christ love was displayed on the Cross. He didn't just die on the cross for us, he offered his life, that we might have a more abundant life. He loves us this much, he has been waiting for us. Its time to answer the Call.
