Fresh back from holiday I was asked this morning before the service if I was willing to play a part in a small drama being used by our visiting speaker.
"Yes" I replied, "as long as I don't have to play the devil"
You see a few months ago on our Freedom in Christ course I was cast in a similar talk illustration, as sin.
Talk about playing the "bad guy", I was sin itself!
So today I waited anxiously to find out which "character" I was going to have to play. I missed out on "Father God", and got a bit nervous as "man" was introduced but that part went to someone else and I ended up being Jesus!
Bonus!
What I did not realise, and nor did the person who got volunteers beforehand was that in the sermon illustration the three of us were stood on chairs and man crosses via Jesus to Father God.
Great illustration, clear, straightforward, the "bridge diagram" using real people. What could go wrong?
They had picked, shall we say, three "bigger" lads, quite by accident, and speaking of accidents how we avoided a major one I will never know, as we shuffled and changed places on these chairs!
A few years back I wrote the working copy of our working at height risk assessment, so I may have been Jesus but I still broke out into a cold sweat!
