The Truth of Easter

This is the coolest monologue we have heard about the truth about Easter. Our church, FBCW, had this reading during the Easter service, and at the end it has you saying, "Wow, that was cool! Who can I share this with?" Stick with the whole thing, all the way down and up again, and you will see what I mean.
(To hear this monologue read with passion, go to www.FBCW.org and look up the Easter service)

This is the truth

Today is Easter and

Today we remember the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah

2000 years ago God confined himself to human form and

Jesus willingly became the sacrifice of our sin

To offer forgiveness to all who will believe

To set YOU free

To believe such things is misguided, the truth is

He is not the only way to God

You and I are destined to repeat our mistakes and

Our lives will never have purpose

Those who do not believe the truth say

We call Him the Christ, the Son of the living God

We call Him Emmanuel, God with us

We mourn His brutal crucifixion

We rejoice in His resurrection

This is not what is real

Prophets did not foretell of His coming

Angels did not declare that He had risen and

I would be lying to you if I said that

For the Creator of the Universe

There was only a crown of thorns and nails for a scepter

For the Son of God

There was only a violent death and a borrowed tomb

Whether you like it or not

This is the truth of Easter













This is what I used to believe,
But then Jesus came into my life
and turned everything upside down!!!
