Our drama group at church performed powerful skits centering around Jesus and His message to go and preach the gospel. With each skit came a deeper understanding and solidification of what we are to do as Christians. We’re to follow Jesus’s and go out and teach those who have the ears to hear and the eyes to see. But, most especially, to the ones who are in bondage, not living for Christ and not yet saved.

It’s these souls wandering without purpose that stand to lose so much, but will gain the most through Christ. The skits depicted people in “selfish modes” who didn’t want to “lay it down for Christ” who live life in the fast lane, without a care as to whom they hurt. They are not even aware they are hurting themselves in the interim; which will have a compelling and sad ending if they do not heed the word and take note soon.

The skits, delivered strong and explosive messages to the audience, that we have a responsibility as Christians to “get out and follow Jesus and His doctrine” – to preach to all nations; to reach out to the needy in Spirit, and to feed them the word, and to feed them the Truth. 

 
Jesus is the truth. He’s the light for those ensconced in darkness, who are in a cage of uncertainty, who don’t have the expansive capacity in which to see, in terms of the word. It’s to these souls that the word should be preached and taught, love is the way, for Christ is love. God is Grace, Compassion, Wisdom, and Love and so much more. 

The last skit showed a girl crying; “I ‘m here in hell--all I needed was Jesus-why didn’t you tell me? You could have saved me…” 

 
“Father, help us shine Your glorious light to those in darkness, in Jesus name, Amen.”

Jesus poured out His blood for the New Covenant of grace and truth, replacing the Old Covenant letter of the law of Moses. Believers are exclusively under the New Covenant, the last will and testament of Jesus that began after the cross.
