What does it mean to place one’s faith in a person or thing or process? Obviously, it entails a certainty of sorts – for who wants to place one’s faith in a known liar who is trying to sell you a “dependable” appliance, or thin ice to support a hockey game, or an unreliable airplane to travel a great distance? The world is full of examples of people, things, and processes that fail us every day. Is it even possible to have faith in anything?
It is possible -- and to prove that reality, God sent a Great Certainty to humanity two thousand years ago in the Person of Jesus Christ. He came, practically unnoticed, into a world that had mistakenly placed its faith in kingdoms, religious leaders, and bloodthirsty warriors. But once He came, His presence began to reveal how shallow that faith was, and the consequences of continuing to have faith in those things.
He came and He taught and
He performed every sort of
miracle. And then He asked
for His listeners to place
their faith in Him – in life,
in death, and beyond death.
And He demonstrated the
greatest love and the greatest
power that had ever existed on earth.
Multiple people who placed their faith in Jesus Christ are recorded in the Gospels, among them a Roman centurion and a Jewish woman with a chronic health problem. Jesus met them both in their needs, praising their faith in Him. It is to give you a taste of that love and that power that this play has been written.
This play requires at least 18 cast members: 14 male, 3 female, 1 can be either gender. There are 3 silent roles (1 male, 2 females) and numerous opportunities for extras (crowd scenes, etc.).
