Provide The Lamb

Never doubt God's timing or plans. Abraham did not question God's command to sacrifice Isaac, demonstrating unwavering faith. Similarly, Jesus obeyed His Father, willingly sacrificing Himself on the cross for the sins of the world. In this drama, a senior and junior angel discuss the concept of sacrifice, exploring how it reflects God's trust, timing, and ultimate purpose. They recognize that while human understanding is limited, God's Master Plan is always at work, even when we cannot see the full picture.

Sample of script:

cene opens as Junior and Senior Angel enter from stage left.

Senior: Like I say, if there is ever anything that is bothering you, you know that I am here to talk with.

Junior (smiling): I know, thanks.

Senior: I am really feeling that there is something you are struggling with.

Junior: Now that you ask, yes, there is something.

Senior: Well, can I try and help?

Junior: I know I should probably know this already, ‘cause I’ve been up here a while now, but there is something I just don’t understand.

Senior: I have been up here a lot longer than you, and believe me, understanding doesn’t always come immediately. (Pauses.) I’m listening.

Junior: It’s this whole sacrifice thing between Abraham and Isaac. I just don’t understand how anyone can do this!

Senior: It is not for anyone to understand.

Junior: Huh?

Senior: When God gives us a commandment, He wants to see whether or not we follow His wishes. God commanded Abraham to offer his son, Isaac, as a sacrifice. I am quite sure Abraham does not understand God’s reasoning. In fact, I am sure Abraham may even question God’s motives. But God has an ultimate course for us all. That’s why we should never doubt God or His plans for us. You will see – God has things all worked out.

(Senior motions with arm for Junior to look to offstage right. Spotlight offstage up, actors look at this light while speaking.)

Junior: There they are! There is Abraham and Isaac right now!
