Props: Three black costumes, flashlights, etc.
Roles: Three spies, two audience people
Three
people in black walk from back of church up to stage at keyboard while the theme
from Mission: Impossible music plays.
Then
music fades.
1:
Do you think this is where we are supposed to meet?
2:
I’m not sure, but it looks like it on the map.
3:
It says we’re supposed to press the button on the keyboard for our message.
2:
Do we dare?
1:
What do you mean, “do we dare?”
2:
Who knows what kind of message we will get. Or what kind of sound it will make.
You might break your finger while pressing it. The whole world might end!
3:
Are you kidding me? You’re a secret agent, and you’re afraid of your own
shadow. Who assigned you to this mission, anyway?
2:
My daddy.
1:
That explains a lot
3:
The agency sure has gone downhill since….
1:
Just press the button
2:
I’m still not sure. All of these people out here might not want this skit to
happen that way.
1:
They are just waiting for church to start. They probably don’t even notice us.
Besides, we have a job to do, and we need to do it.
MESSAGE:
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find the true Jesus, the
Savior of the world. This message will destruct if not properly cared for.
1:
What does that mean?
3:
He didn’t even give us any guidelines
2:
Don’t insult my daddy.
1:
Alright, but I have no idea what we’re supposed to do. We don’t know what he
looks like, for starters.
2:
All we can do is look
3:
Let’s go
THEY
GO OUT INTO THE AUDIENCE, AND PICK PEOPLE AT RANDOM
3:
Hey, what about this one?
1:
Too short
2:
Here we go
3:
Too young
1:
This one has got to be Jesus
2:
Ask him his name.
1:
What’s your name?
MEL:
Mel
3:
You think that Jesus’ name is Mel?
1:
No. I would say that it’s probably JESUS!
2:
That’s not him
1:
Ok, I’ve got an idea. Everybody, can I have your attention please? We’re
looking for Jesus. Will the real Jesus please stand up.
JOHN:
(stands up)
3:
Now I know that’s not him. The real Jesus doesn’t have glasses.
2:
Yeah, I mean, wouldn’t he just rub some mud on his eyes and toss his glasses
to the side?
JOHN:
I’m not Jesus. I stood up because you guys are confused. Jesus is everywhere.
His spirit is in the hearts of His people.
2:
Looks like we’re going to have to do some surgery then
JOHN:
No, he’s everywhere. He sees everything. He’s in here watching right now.
He’s out there…
1:
Out there? And we’ve wasted our time on all you people. Let’s go, team.
(starts walking) We will fulfill our objectives yet.
2: (walking out) Can we stop by McDonalds? All of this searching for Jesus can make you hungry
3:
(almost out the door) Maybe we’ll find him there
