Something Good Out of Nowhere
Scene: Philip meets Jesus and then goes to tell Nathaniel.
Nathaniel then meets Jesus. Taken from John 1:43-51.
Have Philip and Jesus walk across the front of the room from different
directions and then almost run into each other.
Jesus: Hey Phil, you're going the wrong direction. Make a right turn and follow Me.
Phil: Right man. Be right back. I've got to tell Nathan about this.
Nathan: (Very relaxed, sitting down and sipping a cup of
coffee or juice.) Yo, Phil, what's
happening?
Phil: 'Than, you won't believe this. I just met the Messiah!
Nathan: You serious?
Phil: Great, man, come see Him. (Starts pulling on Nathan to get up and come see Jesus.)
Nathan: So where is this guy from, man?
Phil: He lives in Nazareth.
Nathan: You serious?
Phil: No lie. Come and see.
Nathan: Ain't nothing ever good come out of Nazareth. I gotta' see this man. (Starts walking toward Jesus and stops suddenly.)
Jesus: Hey, brother, I know you were just sitting around sipping your drink and wondering about Me.
Nathan: Whoa, Phil ain't no liar. You are my main man.
Jesus: The best is yet to come, my brother. (All three leave the front of the room arm in arm.)
