Come see us

Where will you be on Friday night? Perhaps you will be doing what you always do. Maybe you have a wedding or family get together. You might just be lucky enough to have an open evening. I love those rare nights when there is nothing I have to do.

This Friday at around 7:30, I expect to be standing at the back of darkened church. The only light around me will come from the lobby behind me and from the small lamps over the sound board. I'll be dressed in a beige robe and a dark blue and white striped tunic tied with a belt. The kind of dress which gets you a second look at the supermarket.

On the stage the lights come up and the choir, which includes Shelly and Sierra, and the musicians come to life. The narrators unfold the story of humanity of our sin and of God's plan. We see women approach the tomb in the early morning. I see their shock and prepare myself. They need to tell someone and they are coming to tell Peter and I.

They make their way down between the audience members and back to where I am standing. I work to understand what they are saying. Then, I am off. I have to see for myself. I leave Peter in the dust. Must see for myself. The play has begun. The most important story is unfolding before us.

You should come see this. In addition to Shelly, Sierra and I, Shelby and Sienna are also participating. They are in the children's choir.

I've Seen Jesus is the name of the presentation and it begins at 7:30 PM this Friday at Praise Baptist Church in Plymouth. If you can, I would love for you to come see this and it would be even better if you brought a friend.

Hopefully, I will see you there.
