The Celestial Drama

   Last night I received an analogy that i think of as "The Celestial Drama." God the Father creates the stage and the theatre. (Gen. 1:1) He is also the playwright. The script is the Word of God, the Bible. The Holy Spirit directs the play and Jesus is the star. Genuine believers play the supporting roles, and the audience is composed of principalities and powers in the heavenly places. "To the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God  might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Ephesians 3:10-11 NKJV)
     How amazing that we, made of the dust of the earth (Genesis 2:7,3:19 et. al.,) are permitted to have a role in God's play. The Creator of the Universe not only allows but desires us to participate with Him- to sing in the chorus, to say our lines, to worship Jesus the King. Yet we often complain about the role we have been given rather than rejoice that we were given a part. Brothers and sisters, let us learn our lines (the Bible), receive direction from the Holy Spirit, and play our part with the measure of faith, (Romans 12:3) and the grace and truth (John 1:17) that we have received.
