This old and exceedingly wise commercial did not intend to make people think about God. But it does. It prompts us to ask if we’ve trained ourselves—-perhaps unwittingly—-to live lives tailored to our own jar-sized spaces. If we’ve allowed for God at all, have we only given access to one that might fit into our small scheme of things, safe and snug and controllable in our little jars. But what this old ad for Playstation is really asking us is this: do we have the unbelievable courage to live–and teach our kids to live–with the sure knowledge that there is a God so vast and creative and gracious that He would never want us to settle for a jar-sized life? Do we have that kind of faith? Do we? Blow the lid off, indeed.
