SCENE 6
(Lights up on stage left. Headquarters is empty. Older Dee stands
by Scribe sitting at the desk. Scribe writes as Dee talks.)
SCRIBE: So what did you do, Dee?
OLDER DEE: After Jesus was crucified, we thought it was the end.
Surprisingly, Nicodemus again appeared on the scene.
SCRIBE: Oh, I remember that happening. He and Joseph of Arimathea
took Jesus' body down from the cross and laid it in a tomb.
OLDER DEE: That's right. Nicodemus went from a secret conversation in the
dark of night, to a conversation in broad daylight with his
peers, to a public expression of love for Jesus!
SCRIBE: I guess you closed the case after that.
OLDER DEE: Are you kidding? You remember … three days later, a miracle
happened! Jesus' body was resurrected from the grave.
SCRIBE: So did you ever close the case?
OLDER DEE: It was years and years before we would finally close the case of
"The Mysterious Encounter Between Nicodemus and Jesus." It
took a key witness … John … one of Jesus' followers to testify
as he captured all these truths on paper. And in chapter three
verse sixteen, John wrote the actual words Jesus spoke to
Nicodemus that night … how belief in Jesus leads to
forgiveness of sin, eternal life, and a new identity in Jesus.
SCRIBE: All the secrets of the mystery revealed!
OLDER DEE: When we began to unravel all those secrets, we thought we
needed to protect them so they wouldn't fall into the wrong
hands. But we were wrong! These secrets didn't need to be
protected, we needed to share them with everyone … (music
begins to "I Believe") with the world … so the world could hear
and believe!
