This is a clear and accurate summation of the gospel message. One may be able to read too far into the question of whether or not Jesus had foreknowledge of His purpose on earth. This is a video that I will share with approval.
I know exactly what part you're talking about - when He looks forward in time to 'me' and says "God, what can I do to save them?" I was a little ...eh?... about that part, but I think you're right, it's MUCH deeper than that, but that's for down the road a bit after God saves them. It'd be easy to read into it, as you said, and possibly get off base of the simple Gospel message.
Overall it was a nice presentation. I would have liked to see more “Scripture” references, instead of the narrators “the message bible or his personal relevant” commentary. I thought it was a bit long, but it was enjoyable. But yes, the Gospel message was clear!
I'm born-again (1 John) - I am saved by grace alone, through faith alone (Eph. 2:8). The Law showed me my sinfulness (Rom. 7:7-12), thus my need for a savior, and even though I feel that I made the choice to follow Him, I know that the Bible teaches me that He chose me, and sustains me - it is not by my own power but truly by the grace of God that I am saved.

Thanks, Josh - always a pleasure!
