Seeing this music video was such a beautiful and powerful experience....I really feel like it reaches a place in us that few things can. It touches our deepest spiritual and emotional desire for something more. It offers another answer to the meaninglessness that so often surrounds us; when the children jump off the cliff and start to fly, they challenge and defy the laws of this world. Not just the physical laws; thats not the point. They defy the law that says we are bound to what we understand and know to be real. The very ground that meaningless life sits on is shattered, leaving you floating in pure mystery and meaning. The promise that is given here is the only thing that really gives us true HOPE. I think that this video is an excellent representation of what the Gospel is supposed to look like - an answer to our hopelessness that removes our deeply rooted sense of loss and exchanges it for hope and peace and love and everything that God is. Because if we are not able to live like these children, flying through life and following our fearless leader, we are truly lost. There is a real destination and a real journey full of meaning that awaits us if we only choose to follow Him. Our lives can actually be beautiful....I mean it's kind of impossible to explain or imagine, but we can get pretty close through the picture that this video gives us. And if we live it then it's even more exciting!

Anyway, I really enjoyed that music video, and I actually found that I can have a better understanding of who God is by thinking about the hope that the video makes me feel. It's a wonderful thing when a piece of art like this can do something so extraordinary. It makes me even more excited to know that I can spend my life serving God in this way - spreading the good news in ways that allow people to really see what the Gospel means, and that it's not just a tradition for old people, or a sunday-school story, but it's the greatest thing that we could ever imagine.
