The Story of Jesus, continued

Narrator: It was a long, drawn-out, painful death.

(Believer covers face crying)

Narrator: Mary Magdalene was the first to see Jesus alive again (Mark 16:9, John 20: 11-17) as she stood outside the tomb crying, wondering who had moved his body and where to. Jesus said to her “Mary...” Mary said:

Believer: Jesus, Saviour, Son of God, Lord (falling to knees in worship)

Narrator: As two of the disciples walked from Jerusalem to Emmaus, Jesus joined them (Luke 24: 13-35):

Believer: Jesus, Saviour, Son of God, Lord (stepping forward, arms out)

Narrator: Jesus then appeared to the disciples who were hiding in a locked room, afraid of the religious leaders (John 20: 19-23). Jesus said, “Peace be with you!”. The disciples said:

Believer: Jesus, Saviour, Son of God, Lord (falling to knees, arms out, then stand up and step back)

Narrator: And then again when the disciples were out fishing Jesus stood on the shore and called to them (John 21: 1-14). The disciples said:

Believer: Jesus, Saviour, Son of God, Lord (stepping forward, arms out)

Narrator: The religious leaders and Romans talked together to get their story straight. They decided to say the disciples had stolen the body (Matthew 28: 11-15).

Sceptic: There was no resurrection! Jesus, Liar, Trouble-Maker, Fool.
