A Flair for the Dramatic
Our God has more than just a flair for the dramatic. He uses drama at every turn to communicate the mysteries of His truth. Two great dramas are interwoven into the history of Christianity and give us insight into God’s ways with humankind: baptism and Lord’s supper. Both of these present the story of redemption with such vivid poignancy that men and women through history have been drawn to their compelling message But that is not the whole of it. Everything God does evokes worship.
A Flair for the Dramatic
God stepped out on stage
And every member
of the orchestra
knew it was He.
He took the baton in hand
And breathed forth
UPBEAT.
Down came the baton
DOWNBEAT.
And the pattern was given
With every eye upon Him.
The strings
The horns
The percussionists
The LIGHTS
Yes, the lights!
The dancers,
The actors,
The Children,
The artists !
Suddenly, the stage was filled
With performers.
And He conducted them.
And every art
And every part
Conformed to the rhythm of His Baton.
And someone in the audience remarked,
“He certainly has a flair for the dramatic.”
And all creation applauded.
