Pastor Messenger, the worship leader at Calvary Chapel in Idaho Falls, wrote an Easter passion musical entitled, “The Very Stone”. 

1.  There were five showings of this musical in Idaho Falls.

2.  Satan in the musical reminded me of the voodoo man in Walt Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog”.  🙂

3.  There was one statement in the musical that stood out to me loud and clear.  It was when Jesus declared, “I and my Father are one.”  I am as deeply impacted as the Jews by this utterance.  But it is a marvelous, worshipful awe that fills my soul on this Monday morning after Easter.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then?  Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.  To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.  Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”

Two things:

1.  To my atheist friends – By not wanting to hear the voice of Jesus Christ, how can you say that you are interested in truth?

2. To my LDS friends – By claiming pre-existence like Jesus Christ, are you not also setting yourselves up to be in the same relationship of experiential truth that Jesus has with the Father?
