The Story of Jesus

The Story of Jesus

Matthew 26: 47 – 28: 20; Mark 14: 43 – 16: 20; Luke 22: 63 – 24: 53; John 18: 1 – 21: 14

Sceptic should wear black top, Believer something light (but not white). Sceptic and Believer need to get a different emphasis on each of their lines, eg. sarcasm, anger, or confusion, etc for the Sceptic; joyful praise or heartfelt worship, etc for the Believer. Sketch starts with Narrator centre stage, Sceptic and Believer out of sight behind screen.

Narrator: When the universe began it was created through Jesus (Hebrews 1:2) and as the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, the angels shouted for joy (Job 38: 4-7):
