SCENE 5
ESTHER: I think I've got it: we need to always be ready so when God
calls us, we can hear it!
HARPER:
No, I think I've got it: when we talk to God, He can always
hear us.
JEREMY:
No, I think I know what he's saying: don't ever put your
heart in airplane mode! (Kids laugh)
COACH WALKER:
Well, I think all of you are right . . . although Jeremy, I don't
think I've ever heard it explained quite that way.
SARA:
That sounds just perfect. But I have a question—
RUDY: (interrupts) She wants to know: what do we have to do for
God to call us?
SARA:
I still don't believe he really has an app that knows what we
are going to ask, but . . .
RUDY:
(interrupts) But that is what you were going to ask, isn't it?
SARA:
Maybe . . .
HARPER: I was wondering that same thing. How do we get on God's
"call list"?
COACH WALKER:
Well, kids, that's a great question, and I think you're going
to like the answer. If you had a Bible here, I would tell you to
look up 2 Timothy 1:9, where it says—
ESTHER:
(interrupts) I've got it! I've got it!
SARA:
You've got the app that finishes sentences?
ESTHER: No, I've got an app with the Bible on it!
COACH WALKER: That's great, Esther! Why don't you read it to us?
ESTHER: It says that God saved us and CALLED us to a holy life . . .
not because of ANYTHING we have done.
COACH WALKER:
That is right. We can't earn it, and we don't deserve it. But
God calls us anyway.
