Jesus motions Person to sit on the chair
"Sit down? Sure, no problems! I can sit down, Lord. Anything you say!"
Jesus then mimes picking up a jug of water and pouring it over Person's
head and then starts gently moving Person
"Oh, Lord ... that's so nice, so refreshing! You know just what I need,
Lord - blessings, just keep giving me those blessings! Lord, you're so kind and
gentle..."
Jesus begins to move Person a little harder in circles, by putting his
hands on Person's shoulders, as if on a Potter's wheel
"But Lord, wait a minute! What are you doing?"
Person jumps off chair out of Jesus's reach
"What do you think you're doing? I mean, Lord, you're so kind and
gentle, but you were getting a bit hard on me there. I mean that was beginning
to hurt! You don't have to be harsh with me, you know, Lord, I'm not so bad !
"
Jesus motions Person to sit down again
"You want me to sit down again? Well, if you're going to be nice and
gentle and give me all those blessings ... but if you're going to be harsh with
me ..."
Jesus again motions Person to sit down
"Well, sure, I'll sit again Lord. Why not?"
Person sits on chair again. Jesus again pours a jug of water over the
Person's head and strokes
"Ah, you've got the idea Lord! I can tell, we're going to get along just
fine!"
Jesus now moves his hand sharply away from Person's shoulder, as if he is
throwing something away
"Ouch! Hey! What are you doing?"
Person jumps off chair again
"What do you think you're doing Lord? I mean listen, it's one thing that
you chose me, and I really appreciate all the blessings that you give me and
well, ... you can be like ... well ... sort of Lord of my life, but you can't
just take those things from me! Their mine ... I need them ... I haven't given
them to you!."
Jesus motions for Person to sit down
"And you want me to sit down again. But you're going to take things from
me, aren't you?"
Jesus motions for Person to sit down again. Person talks as they sit down
"Oh, all right! I'll sit down, but you're going to have to understand
that there are some areas of my life that I have perfectly good control over.
You can't just take them from me!"
Jesus now puts hands over Person's eyes
"Lord!! My eyes ... what are you doing? I can't see!"
Jesus now puts hands over Person's ears
"And my ears ... Lord, I can't hear! What are you doing?"
Jesus shows another scene
"Lord, what are You telling me? Are You asking me to go wherever You
want me to go?"
Jesus stretches out his arm out in front of the person as if showing the person a
scene
"And Lord, now you're showing me all those drug addicts and alcoholics
and prostitutes! What do I have to do with them? I'm not like those
people!!!"
Jesus stretches out his arm to the right as if showing the person a scene
"Oh and Lord, now you're showing me those people bowing down to idols
and worshipping other gods. Look, they've rejected you, not me! I've seen
enough!"
Person jumps off chair again
"Why do you show me all these things? Can't you see that it hurts me to
see all those people dying in their sin and oh, to see all this sin in my own
life? Don't you understand?"
Jesus motions Person to sit
"And you want me to sit! But it hurts, Lord! Why does it hurt so much
when I'm walking with you; and yet there is so much love in your eyes!"
Jesus motions Person to sit again
"But you want me to sit again, and what can I do? I mean, you died for
me, and you chose me, and I know that you only want the best for my life ...
I'll sit."
Person sits down. Jesus begins the moulding movement
"But Lord, it hurts! It hurts to be broken! It hurts to be changed and
to be transformed into your image, but Father, I WANT YOU TO MOULD ME!"
Person and Jesus bow forward, heads down. Jesus has his hands on Person's
shoulders.
Spot light goes off.
Someone reads: "So I went to the potter's house ..." from Jeremiah 18:3-6 OR "Woe to him who quarrels with his Master ..." Isaiah 45:9 OR "Yet, O Lord, you are our Father ..." Isaiah 64:8.
