By His Grace, and For His Glory: Monday Night Reflections

The Best Director, The Perfect Protagonist, and The Glorious Show

Mike

I am humbled and thankful to be a little participant in The Show with Him, Who is both the Director and the Protagonist. The Show started long before the Creation, a time only the Director knows; There was a long Intro before our Protagonist came into the picture, Whose Perfect Performance drew a few, quite some, then many, and later myriads of wandering souls to Him, and to join the Performance. Behold, my friend, The Show is still on, and it's getting bigger and bigger, with many, many more performers filling The Stage. Listen, my friend, the joyful noises they are making are getting louder and louder, resounding with the Harmonic Sounds Above The Stage, and penetrating through and overriding the Piercing Voices Under The Stage. Can you not see? O, how majestic! Can you not hear? O, how glorious! Come, dear friend, come to see our Director, come to learn from our Protagonist, for He wants to meet you before The Show ENDS! Hurry, time is running out! Wherever you are, you are not safe if you are not on The Stage. You see, friend, as every show has its ending, a time will come when you will see the unfolded Curtains moving back again...So fast, so helplessly fast, my friend, that in a blink of an eye, everything will be over, everything will be gone, except those who are in The Show...Again, you will see the Director, the Protagonist, as He comes out of the Curtain. But this time, it's too late to meet Him...Then, o precious friend, what terrible dread and grief if you are still among those who are Off-Stage, ignoring, wandering, thinking, hesitating, even watching the Curtains fold! What awaits...an everlasting dreadful play Under The Stage...But if only...If only you took that step forward onto The Stage, you would know Him, The Best Director and The Perfect Protagonist, and you would become one of us, His apprentices. I pray, my dear, dear friend, that the first time you see Him would not be the END of The Show. You see, for all the actors and actresses, the END of the Show is just the BEGINNING of a New Show, a Show that will last FOREVER, forever be performed Above The Stage, and each new Episode is more majestic, more glorious than the previous one...

Oh, by the way, you can bet that our dear Director and Protagonist will greet us Above The Stage, in The New Show, and we'll be together forever and ever!
