("Lamb of God" music underscore continues)
(The nativity scene arrests and [if possible] dims slightly. Enoch
and Heywood both move to the front of the stage and speak
directly to the audience.)
ENOCH: It would be many years later that I would come to
understand who the baby in the manger really was. I
watched as Jesus grew to be a man—the Good Shepherd
calling people to come into the safety of His fold.
(taking off his shepherd head-covering, handing it to Heywood)
Heywood eventually took over my flock, and became a
follower of Jesus Christ …
HEYWOOD: (speaking overlaps with Enoch's, then takes over) … and
became a follower of Jesus Christ.
(putting on the shepherd head-covering, and taking Enoch's
staff)
I journeyed to Jerusalem, where Jesus was put to death on a
cross, then rose again from the tomb. He was the Good
Shepherd, but He was also the Lamb of God who takes away
the sins of the world. Because He took our sin upon Himself
as He died, lost sheep like you and me can now have peace
with God.
O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out
our sin, and enter in, be born in us today! We hear the
Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell; O come to us,
abide with us, our Lord Immanuel.
