3 Pentecost
Characters:
Jesus
Disciple Peter
Widow: Miriam
Widow’s Son: Josh
(sounds of people mourning)
Peter: Jesus,
we’re coming to the village
of Nain
Jesus: No
Peter, let us go and see if we can help.
(arriving at the woman and a covered body)
Peter: It looks
like we're too late to help. The son of
this widow has died and they are having a funeral. Let’s not disturb the funeral.
Jesus: I feel
very sad for this woman. She lost her
husband and now she has lost her only child.
God cares for those who are suffering and we must show her that God
cares for her.
Peter: How will we do that?
Jesus: Let's go
and see.
(Jesus meets the widow)
Jesus: What is
your name?
Widow: My name
is Miriam.
Jesus: What
happened?
Widow: My only
child Josh got a really bad fever and then he died. I lost my husband and now I have lost my
son. Now only God can help me get
through this.
Jesus: Do not cry, Miriam. God cares for widows and orphans, and I am
here to prove this.
(Jesus goes to the covered body)
Jesus: Josh, Rise and get up.
(Josh, pushes the grave cloth aside)
Josh: Wow. Mom where am I? Have I been in a long sleep? And who are these people?
Widow: Josh,
you got very sick and we thought you were dead.
But this nice man Jesus came and he has now brought you back to my
life. And God has answered my
prayer. I know that God cares for
me. Thank you Jesus for showing me that
God loves and cares for us.
Jesus: Peter,
this is our mission in life.
Peter: What mission?
Jesus: It is
our mission to show people about God’s love and care. It is our mission to tell good news to people
about God’s love. Can you remember that?
Peter: Yes, I
can and do you think the boys and girls here today can remember this important
mission? Can you boys and girls remember
to show everyone that God loves and cares for them?
All: Yes we
can.
Peter: Good,
then lets get to work. Good bye!
