each of the characters of
these dramas
the actors on the stage
sadness in their hearts
each carrying a burden
remorse, loss, regret,
anger
wishing they could change
the past
the course of the Passion
week
to change their very
lives
not the leaders of the
people
stark in their absence
none of them in the plays
not changing their
position
holding onto their place
each still denying the
Christ
sending him to the cross
yet creating eternal life

“Not
the leaders of the people”
This
Lenten Season, we are doing something a little different. We are doing Lenten
Dramas from: http://www.sermonsfromseattle.com/home.htm
It is called "The Voice of God". We are hearing conversations between
God and some of the characters that took part in Passion Week. It has been a
"moving experience" for all. . .
