The Worker

A hard working man needs his Saviour. He has to understand he has sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. He begins to understand salvation.

A rough and tumble hard working man who "has it all" still needs his Saviour.
He has to understand he has sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. He begins to understand salvation, and that Jesus came to save him.
Written by a passionate young man who wishes to remain anonymous.

Sample of script:

Are you looking at me?

What do you want?

You have something to offer me?

Hah! I have everything I need. I work on a service rig. Yah right now I’m a roughneck but they like me. I’ll be a deck hand real soon. Then as soon as they find the secrets that driller is hiding I’ll fill his shoes. I’ll do a darn good job too because I am incredible. I work my butt off every day for at least 10 hours if not more. And once that old kook of a tool push is outta the picture I’ll be at the top. As it is I have everything going for me. I make more money than nurses do when they have 4 years of school. My school was only one week.

I’m healthy and incredibly good-looking. When I walk down the street I have to
practically beat the women off with a stick. So what more could I possibly want? What
can you offer me?

Why would you say that to me? “I’m a sinner” What do you mean? I know I’m not
perfect but I’m not that bad. I’ve never shot anyone, I don’t steal and every Christmas I
give money to those guys in the mall with the bells. How much better do I have to be?

None, oh you’re crazy, you tell me I’m a sinner and then say, “Don’t change”. Oh I get it,
you want me to pay you – then you’ll leave me alone. Will a twenty do it? I gotta go. I
haven’t got time for this crap!

Nothing, you don’t want anything. Why not? Is my money not good enough for you?

What? What you have to offer me is free?

All right fine – I’ll listen to you.

How old am I – 21. Why? How long have I got left? What kinda stupid question is that? I
don’t know! People in my family have lived a long time – well into there 80’s.

What if I could live forever? Lady what are you on – everyone dies. I know that much.

I’m wrong? Who can miraculously say, “Buddy you are gonna live forever?”

Jesus? Jesus – oh I’ve heard his name said lots of times on the rig.

Who is he?
