I loved Marley’s post from Sunday. You can find it in comments under ‘The Adventure Begins’. There is something special about this play. This was shown tonight by the vast number of returning ‘veterans’ to the performance. It was so good to see Jim Roberts returning after a few years off. That’s just one example of how this play affects lives, both in the cast and in the audience.
The Carol is an opportunity for each of us to bring others to freedom. Ole’ Ebeneezer had all the comforts anyone in London could ask for, yet he was trapped in a life of unhappiness. Through the patient love of his nephew Fred, and no doubt plenty of prayers along the way, he found the freedom he sought in his newfound faith in Jesus.
As we prepare for this years run of ‘The Carol’ by learning lines, assembling the set and getting all the peripherals in place, let’s not forget to set the stage spiritually. Please be praying for the ‘empty pew’ people. There will be those in attendance at the Carol that would never set foot in a church. WE have the chance to bring them to freedom!
Feel free to share with others (on this blog) what you think it means to be ‘free in Christ.’
Have a great week. See you Sunday.
