Tracy and Eric’s preacher told this story yesterday:
“An elementary school teacher was going to have her class to put on a Christmas pageant with this twist, the students would be totally in charge. They were to write the scripture, cast the characters, rehearse and then perform the pageant totally on their own.
“The day arrived for the pageant, the auditorium was filled with parents and friends. The pageant began. All of the usual characters were there - shepherds, wise men, Joseph, but were was Mary. She was nowhere to be seen. Just then, from behind a wall of hay came groans. It was from Mary and she was in labor.
“Just then in walks a person in a white coat and a little black bag. It was the doctor who had come to deliver Mary’s baby. The doctor grabs Joseph and takes him behind the wall of hay. There was more groaning, louder this time, and finally a shout of joy. Joseph then appears holding the new baby, walks to the edge of the stage holding the baby out for all to see and declares: ‘It’s a God!’”
I think those elementary students got the story correct … don’t you?
