First page of 'Yeshua's Story':
Scene 1: Beginnings and Brokeness
(Lights come up on Nissa the storyteller who is sitting on a stool, while an off set narrator reads the following)
Narrator:
Down through the ages of our past,
Stories from generations passed
Down through the ages, never grow old
The mercies of Jehovah to young and old.
(All the village children run noisily in to Nissa and sit around her.)
Laban: Nissa! Nissa! Are you going to tell us another story about Yeshua, the Messiah today?
Nissa: Of course! But today I’m going to do things a little differently. I’m going to start way back at the first thing we know about Yeshua’s story.
Alyia: Are you going to tell about when the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, Yeshua’s mother?
Nissa: (laughing) No child! Yeshua’s story did not begin there.
Child 1: It didn’t?
Nissa: No! Yeshua’s story doesn’t have a beginning!
Nachum: How is that possible? Everyone’s story has a beginning!
Nissa: But Yeshua is not “everyone,” He is Jehovah. He has always been and always will be.
Yael: So, what’s the first thing we know about Yeshua’s story?
