Tomorrow and Sunday I’ll be acting in our church Easter
production entitled: The Story of Love.
I think this is at least the 5th or 6th time I’ve
been in this particular show. It’s
essentially the story of the gospel from the beginning of creation to the
resurrection set to music. The
last scene I am in is the scene where the crucifixion happens. It’s chaotic and it doesn’t feel like
acting. It feels like I am really
there. And that is really
painful. Last Sunday when I came
off the stage I headed up to Ricardo’s office to change out of my costume. Everyone is solemn when we leave that
scene. It’s hard to transition
from how real it felt to the reality that we were just acting. But there’s something that I do every
time I’m in it. No matter how many
times we rehearse or perform, I always have to watch the end. I know Christ isn’t still on the
cross. Oh how thankful I am that
He is not! But it doesn’t
matter. Even though I know the
certain outcome of the end of the show, I need to watch it every time. I have to see the risen Christ. I have to see Him! The show makes the suffering on the cross
so real. But thankfully he’s not
on it anymore. He is risen from
the dead! And he lives in all
those who believe in him!
