Status Quo/Resurrection

Two people back to back. They speak the double lines, one holds the sign STATUS QUO and reads the top line and the other turns around holding RESURRECTION and reads the bottom line. A third person reads We can’t believe…

In the book of Acts, the church is always a threat to others because with the ability to bring life out of death, then that is a threat to every status quo there is. It is a powerful thing we believe in

We can’t believe in resurrection without believing things can change.

So we can live with the status quo
Or we can live with resurrection

We can’t believe in resurrection without getting your hands dirty making it happen

So we can keep the peace
or we can make peace

We can’t believe in resurrection without journeying to new and impossible places

So we can ‘not rock the boat’
or we can step out the boat

We can’t believe in resurrection without being noticed

So we can withdraw and keep our heads down
or we can stand out with our heads up

We can’t believe in resurrection without speaking against all that brings death

So we can turn a blind eye
or we can be true witnesses

We can’t believe in resurrection without breaking indifference

So we can keep silence
or we can keep vigil

We can’t believe in resurrection without calling to account the way things are

So we can just accept
or we can always question

We can’t believe in resurrection without sharing life with those who need it most

We can learn which side or bread is buttered on
or we can break bread with others

We can’t believe in resurrection without knowing it changes everything that was once impossible

We can keep the status quo
or we can live with resurrection
