What if you could see the secret stories of brokenness in each face you passed on the street? Would it break your heart? How could those stories be different if everyone submitted their lives to Jesus? This heartfelt Highway video looks at the suffering and sin of fallen humanity, but also remind us of the hope that is possible through Christ. Music by Switchfoot.

Main Point: The human condition is that all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God and each person has the same need – Jesus.

Synopsis:

Intriguing music video that demonstrates that all of us have struggles and sin and that the only antidote for that which ails us is Jesus Christ.
Hidden sins and struggles and age are revealed as boxes are placed over various faces of people on the street with accompanying captions of their particular sins.
Video opens with a text of John 3:17—God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
Some of the information revealed about people include: a 36 year-old woman who’s alone, a 45 year old-man abuses his wife, a 59 year-old woman has children that don’t call her, a 30 year-old former prom queen uses drugs and the list goes on.
As masses cross street, texts superimposed on the screen remind us that all have fallen short and that God accepts broken and contrite hearts. There’s a clear message that Jesus loves you.
A quick list of various sins and conditions flash on the screen – including Angry, Los, Thirsty, Confused, Lost, Thirsty, Confused, Bitter, Hurting, Rejected, Hiding, Lust, Hates, Ashamed, Vengeful – and finally Forgiven emerges on the screen.
The video shows individuals who have found victory: hopeless–now hopeful, hurt-now healed, selfish-selfless, insecure-now secure, unfulfilled- now content, lost-now found.
The video begins with a footage of a bridge in the background and ends with a baby girl walks on the beach with a bridge in the distance —symbolizing new life in Jesus—taking us from old creature to new creation.
Aesthetically pleasing –convicting –encouraging. This video effectively deals with sin – in a convicting but not condemning manner.

Lyrics:

Spirit fall fresh on me. Spirit fall fresh on me.

Hear my cry. Fill my life. I won’t need anything but you.

I found all that I want, all that I hope for in you. (2x)

Wasted time is when I’m far from you.

I found all that I want, all that I long for in you.

Spirit come be my joy. Spirit come be my joy.

Be my song. Fill my lungs.

I don’t need anything but you.

I found all that I want, all that I long for in you. (2x)

Wasted time is when I’m far from you.

I found all that I want, all that I long for in you. (3x)

Wasted time is when I’m far from your truth.

I found all that I want, all that I long for in you. (4x)

Instrumental of Spirit of the Living God.

Application:

This video covers many conditions of the human heart.
All of us have sinned – we need to be aware that all around us people are struggling.
Transparency occurs when we can be real with one another in the Body of Christ and acknowledge that only the blood of Jesus cleanses us.
Jesus came to the world to save sinners – He loves us all.
