The Story of Jesus (drama sketch)

Believer: Jesus, Saviour, Son of God, Lord (said from behind screen, using microphone)

Narrator: Of course, not everyone believes this, and the devil -who does know it’s true- is much happier when people think it’s all a lie, a made-up story, a misunderstanding.

(Believer and Sceptic walk on to stage and stand either side of Narrator)

Narrator: When Jesus was born, the angels, shepherds (Luke 2: 8-20) and wise men (Matthew 2:1-18) said:

Believer: Jesus, Saviour, Son of God, Lord (steps forward, and kneels to worship, arms out)

Narrator: But when King Herod heard a rival King had been born, he said:

Sceptic: Jesus, Liar, Trouble-Maker, Fool

Narrator: And he had all the boys in Bethlehem who were under two years old killed hoping that Jesus would be one of them (Matthew 2:1-18).

When Jesus began his ministry, those who saw him perform miraculous healings (John 2:23) said:
Believer: Jesus, Saviour, Son of God, Lord (steps forward, stays standing, arms out, then steps back into place)
Narrator: But when Jesus drove the money-changers and sellers out of the temple for disrespecting God’s ways (John 2:14-22), the religious leaders said:

Sceptic: Jesus, Liar, Trouble-Maker, Fool
