ACTION

In the beginning, God -

Pada awalnya, Allah

GOD (Gordon) sets out at stage left

created men and women to live on the

earth

menciptakan pria dan wanita untuk hidup

di bumi

GOD holds out left arm and PEOPLE walk out. As JESUS
holds out right arm PEOPLE go to squat for Jesus to form
them.

There was close relationship between

God & man

Ada hubungan yang erat antara Allah &

manusia

ALL, including JESUS, hold hands and form circle. Spread

the circle out, everyone smiling.

until they made the decision to sin.

sampai - mereka membuat keputusan

untuk berbuat dosa.

PEOPLE suddenly lift & push down their hands to break

the chain of the circle.

Bringing sin to all people. This sin meant

separation from God,

Membawa dosa bagi semua orang. Dosa ini

berarti pemisahan dari Allah,

PEOPLE look angry, and turn their backs on GOD.

and sin means eternal death. We are all

born with sin. Black is the color of sin.

dan dosa berarti kematian kekal. Kita

semua dilahirkan dengan dosa. Hitam
adalah warna dosa

PEOPLE go to the back and each put on their black

clothes/jackets and bring out the black cardboard
(Pansy)

God is holy and cannot look on sin.

Allah kudus dan tidak bisa membiarkan

dosa (God is holy and cannot allow sin)

GOD sadly look down and shakes his head.

But God loves all of us, each and every

one of us, so much, that He sent His only
Son, Jesus,

Tapi Allah mengasihi kita semua, setiap

orang, begitu banyak, bahwa Dia mengutus
Anak-Nya, Yesus,

GOD picks up baby with his back to congregation and

hands baby to a girl (Penny) from one of the PEOPLE.

ACTION

to live on the earth among the people.

untuk hidup di bumi antara orang-orang

GIRL holds baby tenderly, then puts baby back behind

box/tree whatever.

10

When Jesus grew older,

Ketika Yesus tumbuh dewasa,

JESUS (Dennis) steps over to where the PEOPLE are.

11

He travelled around telling people about

Gods love for them, and that they
needed to repent of their sins so that
they could have spiritual life.

Dia melakukan perjalanan sekitar

memberitahu orang-orang tentang kasih
Allah bagi mereka, dan bahwa mereka
harus bertobat dari dosa-dosa mereka
sehingga mereka bisa memiliki kehidupan
rohani.

JESUS mimes talking tenderly to the people.

At first the PEOPLE listen intently.

12

As the Bible prophesized, the people

killed Jesus.

Sebagai Alkitab menubuatkan, orang-orang

membunuh Yesus.

PEOPLE get angry again, and grab JESUS hands. Some

PEOPLE hold one hand; OTHERS hold the other hand so
JESUS forms the shape of a cross.

13

Because of His love for us, Jesus chose to

die for all of our sins. Red is the color of
the blood that Jesus shed for people.

Karena kasih-Nya bagi kita, Yesus memilih

untuk mati untuk semua dosa-dosa kita.
Merah adalah warna darah yang
ditumpahkan oleh Yesus bagi orangorang.

JESUS slowly hangs his head down to mime death. Whip

out the red cardboard (Judy)

Dan seperti Alkitab menubuatkan Yesus

bangkit kembali, memiliki kemenangan
atas kematian. Putih adalah warna yang
menunjukkan bagaimana Yesus membuat
kita bersih.

JESUS stands up straight. PEOPLE are surprised, turn to

look, and step to the side toward stage right. Whip out
the White cardboard (Reei)

14

And just as the Bible prophesized Jesus

rose again, having victory over death.
White is the color that shows how Jesus
makes us clean.

As PEOPLE let go of JESUS hands, JESUS slowly sinks

down to his knees. PEOPLE sadly turn forward and step
in front of JESUS to hide him from sight.

15

And returning to heaven Jesus took His

place on the throne of grace,

Dan kembali ke surge, Yesus mengambil

tempat-Nya di atas takhta kasih karunia,

JESUS steps back over to stage left, holds his hands out
sightly in welcome.

16

So that when we choose to ask Jesus to

forgive us of our sins,

Sehingga ketika kita memilih untuk

meminta Yesus untuk mengampuni kita
dari dosa-dosa kita,

One by one, PEOPLE turn and approach JESUS while

taking off back jackets to hand to JESUS.

17

He forgives us, and chooses to remember

our sins no more,

Dia mengampuni kita, dan memilih untuk

melupakan dosa-dosa kita

JESUS takes black jackets and throws them off stage and
out of sight.

18

Jesus gives us spiritual life and gives us a

close relationship with God. Green is the
color that shows how, like plants, we
will grow strong.

Yesus memberi kita kehidupan rohani dan

memberi kita hubungan yang erat dengan
Allah. Hijau adalah warna yang
menunjukkan bagaimana, seperti
tanaman, kita akan tumbuh kuat.

JESUS holds out his hands. PEOPLE smile and hold hands
to form a circle. Whip out the green cardboard (Audrey)

19

Jesus gives us eternal life with Him in

heaven a place where there is no pain
or fear, a place where the streets are
made of gold.

Yesus memberi kita kehidupan kekal

bersama-Nya di surga - tempat di mana
tidak ada rasa sakit atau takut, tempat di
mana jalan-jalan yang terbuat dari emas.

JESUS holds out left hand, motioning to stage left. Whip

out gold (Bee Lay) cardboard.

Jesus loves us all, and gives all of us this

choice to make.

Yesus mengasihi kita semua, dan

memberikan kita membuat pilihan ini

JESUS holds out hands in welcome to congregation, and

then exits behind PEOPLE.

20

ALL exit to stage left.
