The crowds are much smaller, the work load is less intense, but there are some things which stay the same here at The Great Passion Play. In the stable at Bethlehem, Joseph and Mary watch over the baby Jesus in the manger and we recall the story of Jesus' birth as related in The Gospel Of Matthew and The Gospel Of Luke.
There are so many "stories" in Scripture, so much commentary and opinion written about these stories; so much discussion and debate about these stories, and we sometimes get so bogged down in the details that we forget the real importance of what Scripture is relating to us. Each of us approaches religion, faith, God, Jesus, our place and purpose in this life (and the next), in such a personal and unique way, that we forget that we are are individuals with personal and unique characteristics which differentiate each us from every other person who has lived or ever will live.
And in this uniqueness we determine our relationship with the world we live in, our relationship to those we associate with and the Creator and Organizer of it all. Take the time to be quiet.......to contemplate what this is all about.......how we contribute to it........and how we can do our part to make it better.......and quieter........for everyone.
