Synopsis: If we don't love non-Christians how can they know that God loves them? |
Some Love
Biblical Basis: Romans 2:1; James 2:10; Mark 2:17
Possible Points: So many timers we look at people and see what they have done instead of seeing what they are, people that God created. Jesus looked at people's hearts, as Christians we should be as open and accepting.We are not saying that homosexuality or abortion is right, actually we are saying that both of them are wrong, what we are saying is that it is not our job to condemn sinners, it is our job to love them. Look at your own life and see who you think doesn't deserve the love of Christ and remember the prostitutes that came to Jesus.
| Characters: |
| 2 Christian boys |
| 2 Christian girls |
| Lost boy |
| Lost Girl |
Setting/Props: Two Christian boys
froze stage left the girls stage right. Guys start talking and lost boy walks
in.
B1: Hey, you see that guy over
there.
B2: Yeah, what about
him?
B1: You won’t believe this, but he’s a
homosexual.
B2: Your kidding, what’s he doing
here, in church?
B1: Man, it’s just sad.
He’s just throwing his life away; can’t he see his
sin?
B2: Yeah I know. Remember what the scripture says,
"men with men committing acts and receiving in their own person the due
penalty of their error."
B1: It’s just like
Sodom and Gomorra.
B2: Hey, he’s coming over
here.
Lost boy walks up and they stare at him with an uncertain
gaze.
B1: Hello, nice to see you
here.
Lost extends hand but they ignore
it
B2: I here your a
homosexual.
LB: Yes, I am a homosexual has a puzzled
look on his face
B1: Let me say something to you. You
have sinned against God. Don’t you know that it makes Him
sick?
B2: Yeah, can’t you see you sin? How can you
live this sort of life?
B1 & B2
freeze
LB: It’s the same thing. I know there
is a God, but does He know me? Does He know I exist? I came here to find.... to
find love. I have never known love. I have tried to find it in everything. The
guys I have been with said they would love me. They said they would hold me and
care for me. That was a lie. They never meant it. They never loved me. In front
of their church it says, "Jesus loves you." Is that true? Or is it
just another lie? Why do they keep telling me of my sin? Do they even care how I
feel? God do you love me? I can’t see it. I can’t feel it. The
people that call themselves yours, they don’t love me. They hate me.
Please Lord show me your love because I am so.... so hungry for
it.
Lost freezes with the boys, the girls
unfreeze.
G1: Hey, you see that girl over
there.
G2: Yeah, what about her
G1:
You won’t believe this, she had an abortion.
G2:
That’s terrible. She just threw her child’s life away. I
mean can’t she see her sin.
G1: I know. I
couldn’t live with myself knowing I was a murderer.
Lost girl
walks in they are somewhat startled.
G2: Hello,
glad to see you.
They take a step back from the
LG.
LG.: Hello, I’m glad to be
here.
G1: Aren't you that girl who had an
abortion?
LG.: Yes... Yes I am visibly
stunned
G2: How could you throw your child’s
life away?
G1: God loved your child, why didn’t
you?
Girls freeze
LG: How can they say
that? How can they? Every time I wake up I know that I’ve done something
wrong. I know I have made a mistake. I feel so guilty. I regret it all. How can
I be set free? Can anyone forgive me for what I’ve done? They say God can
forgive me, but they make it seem impossible. I am sorry so, so sorry. Is there
no peace left for me in this world? Lord is there any peace any forgiveness, any
freedom.
Lost Boy falls to his
knees
LB: Their love is so empty, Lord hold
me...please
Lost Girl falls to her
knees
LG: The pain is too great, carry me please.
The first line of "Amazing Grace" is sung starting
with the lost boy who slowly rises to his feet. The lost girl joins on "how
sweet the sound" and also rises. The rest of the cast unfreezes and faces
the audience and begins singing "that saved a wretch like me." All
point to their heart on this line indicating that we are all sinners. They all
finish the verse.
