“All the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players, they have their exits and their entrances,” begins Jaques in act 1 scene 7 of “As You Like It?” Do you ever feel that’s true? Look back over your life, all the different parts you’ve played, hats you’ve worn, players that have come and gone, dramas and comedies you’ve starred in, doesn’t it seen like one long act 1? So what’s act 2 going to be like? Thanks to Jesus, it’s going to be Heavenly! All because He emptied Himself to become a man, was obedient to His Father, and rose from the grave, act 2 will be awesome! How many times did He tell His disciples what was going to happen; He would be delivered into the hands of men, be killed, and rise on the third day? Many times, so why were they surprised at His resurrection? It sealed the deal, it proved everything He had taught them was true! They must have felt a surge of encouragement as their hearts raced when Mary brought the news of the empty tomb. He is risen, He rose for them, He rose for you! That’s why when act 1 is over, act 2 is going to be really awesome. There are some definite directions in the Script that need to be followed and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior tops the list. For those that don’t, act 2 isn’t going to be too hot, well … The curtain will fall on act 1 for everyone, where act 2 opens is up to each individual. Let us help all the players to know the truth of who Jesus is, what He has done for them, and what He will do for them. It is never to late to take directions and follow the Script, except when the curtain finally drops on act 1!
