what our church is about,

and how this could

really impact you.

And what grace looks like and...

He did?

He did.

And, um...

It took me a few minutes, but I

have decided to forgive you.

What about the rest of the cast?

Took them a few seconds.

So, um...

So I am back in, huh?

Just like that?

This is what we do.

And we just pray for

the audience tonight,

that this story will impact them.

In Jesus' name.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Told you. Full house.

Yeah.

Nice dress.

It's, um...

Breezy.

Thanks.

House lights off.

Mary and Joseph on stage.

Behold, the lamb of god, who

takes away the sin of the world.

This is my beloved son

in whom I am well pleased.

All right,

cue the miracle sequence.

Disciples up. Now.

Lord, wake up or we'll die.

Help us, please!

Peace.

Be still.

Good teacher,

what must I do to

inherit eternal life?

Go and sell all that you have.

I have many possessions.

Lam a wealthy man.

Give them away.

You'll have treasure in heaven.

I cannot

don't go.

Don't walk away.

You'll miss out on so much.

So much more than

anything you have.

Hosanna! Hosanna!

Hosanna!

Hosanna!

Hosanna!

Hosanna!

You know what the law says!

She must be stoned for this sin!

What is your answer, Jesus?

Let he who is without sin

cast the first stone.

My sister.

Where are your accusers?

My sister.

Where are your accusers?

Does even one remain

to condemn you?

No, lord.

Neither do I.

Go and sin no more.

All right.

I give in.

I surrender.

My way didn't work.

I missed out on all this.

I missed out on you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for all of it.

So, here goes...

Father...

Father!

Into your hands,

I commit my spirit.

The next three days were

dark ones for the disciples.

But as many of you know, that's

not the end of the story.

We'll get back to

this in a second.

So, what happened out there?

I believe.

So that was pretty cool.

Yeah.

That was pretty cool.

You connect with your dad?

Yeah.

He said my room was

available indefinitely.

And I met this girl that I like.

Oh, really?

Oh, wow.

She must be fabulous.

Oh, she is.

A little bossy.

I mean, to be honest.

But I'm thinking

I should spend some time

and get to know her.

Especially now that

we go to the same church.

Well...

Let me know how that goes.

So what's next?

I smell a sequel.

A sequel?

I don't think so.

Come on. There are so many

good stories in the Bible.

You got your David and Goliath.

Mmm-hmm.

Matthew?

You know mark?

Luke.

John.

Uh... oh, what about Moses?

We could build

a big boat in here.

Noah.

Noah! Him, too.

Maybe I could direct that one.

Hey, you could use your row,

row, row your boat trick.

Yes! That's perfect.
