Are you laughing at the foolishness of what happened to the actor or at his nice butt. Which gave the reason for many negative comments as we can see listed below. God will judge both sinners (Great White Throne) and believers (the Judgment Seat of Christ) for our works. Why join in laughing at our Savior as displayed in this video with the world, brother Mike?
Ok, first of all--too funny. Second, anpocri, Jesus is no longer in the grave, but I am sure he is still giggling over this, and third, thank you, pastoroso777, for the background and explanation.
(cont) I heard the laughter and peeked out the curtain, only to see his backside go by. I reached out to grab and stop him but couldn't get him, and finally the guys on the lights (who were doubled over laughing) blacked the lights out. I'm telling you, the crowd was laughing for a good 5 minutes... even our pastor came on stage and doubled over. BUT, more people responded that night to the message of the program than on any other night. God has a great sense of humor.
(cont) I grabbed a teenager who back there helping, had them get down on hands and knees, and had Jesus stand on their back to get him clipped. While this was happening the woman putting the robe on couldn't get the velcro all the way closed as they were practically screaming in our headsets for Jesus to come out as his cue was way past. So, Jesus came off the kid's back, stumbled through the curtain, gave his last line, and then was hoisted in the air... and began to spin! (cont)
(cont) Where the ropes to hoist Jesus were laying got in the way, and someone picked them up and tucked them out of the way, thinking they were being helpful. This caused the ropes to get knotted, and it was discovered until this scene. We were behind the curtain, Jesus came from being placed in the tomb, and we put the harness on, but couldn't get the hook and rope to come low enough to clip him in (the guys on the other end were pulling back to un-knot the ropes), so... (cont)
This was actually a large church in Clearwater, FL and this happened back in the late 90's... how do I know? I was the one who put "Jesus" in the harness behind that curtain. This wasn't Handel's Messiah either, it was the end of our Easter production. What happened was that we had changed the rigging wires prior to the performance, had tested it out, and all was fine. (cont)
I'm not sure why this applies to small churches, as much as it applies to those with limited taste-- in fact based on the sets costumes and FX, I'd say this likely a very large church. They are far more prone to this sort of nonsense.
poor Olde Handel is rolling over in His grave... what a disaster
