The Story of Jesus (drama sketch)

Narrator: Later, on a mountain in Galilee, Jesus came to the disciples and said “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Mathew 28: 16-20). The disciples said:

Believer: Jesus, Saviour, Son of God, Lord (arms up in praise)

Narrator: Then Jesus ascended into heaven (Mark 16:19, Luke 24: 50-51), leaving his disciples with the power of the Holy Spirit to share the good news about the forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God (Luke 24: 45-49). And the same message still goes out today:

Believer: Jesus, Saviour, Son of God, Lord (said x3 in unison with Sceptic, whilst walking forward. End kneeling, face down in worship, freeze whilst Sceptic 2 and Believer 2 speak and then for a further count of three at the very end)

Sceptic: Jesus, Liar, Trouble-Maker, Fool (said x3 in unison with Believer, whilst walking forward. End standing, arms folded, looking defiant, freeze whilst Sceptic 2 and Believer 2 speak and then for a further count of three at the very end)

Sceptic 2: Jesus, Liar, Trouble-Maker, Fool (stands up from where he/she is seated among the congregation, to be said loudly and angrily, then storm out of church without any apology or explanation and don’t reappear until other actors have finished and left the stage)

Believer 2: Jesus, Saviour, Son of God, Lord (stands up from where he/she is seated among the congregation, to be said loudly and passionately, arms up in praise, freeze for a count of three)


The End.
