This last Sunday we covered the Triumphant Entry to the Crucifixion. I'm stubborn and get frustrated that only 20 people come to the good Friday service and have to really wrestle with the weight of Good Friday, so I threw it all into one. =) And then instead of typical sermons, I did dramatic monologues, which can be found here and here. Below is the litany that we used to remember the weeks events...
L: Were you there when Jesus entered Jerusalem?
P: Yes! We were there. We waived our palms and shouted Hosanna!
L: Were you there when he turned the tables at the temple?
P: Yes. We were there. We were shocked and speechless.
L: Were you there when he taught about brothers against brothers and fathers against sons?
P: Yes. We were there. We were scared and worried.
L: Were you there when he said the temple would be destroyed?
P: Yes. We were there. We were disgusted and dismayed.
L: Were you there when he broke the bread and shared the cup?
P: Yes. We were there. We ate and drank afraid of what was to come.
L: Were you there when he named a traitor?
P: Yes. We were there. We were ashamed and angry.
L: Were you there when he woke us from our sleep?
P: Yes. We were there. We were tired and couldn’t stay awake.
L: Were you there when they led him through the streets?
P: Yes. We were there. We hid amongst the people hoping no one would notice us.
L: Were you there when Pilate asked?
P: Yes. We were there. We shouted with the crowds: Crucify Him!
L: Were you there when he carried the cross?
P: Yes. We were there. We looked on in silence and spat at his feet.
L: Were you there when they hung him on the cross?
P: Yes. We were there. We were there.
