A gospel skit, dealing with how we think that we’re fit for God’s presence … by Goofy Grape
Stages of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
- The lost need to realize their condition (clown comes on stage in rags, hair unkempt, dressed in a garbage bag, etc.) – she “thinks” she looks good until she realizes that other people are staring at her. She looks in mirror, recognizes her condition
- She begins pulling off different ‘sins’ (velcro shapes – bottle for drinking/partying, #!@$! for bad language, thermometer/angry face for temper, rudeness, black splotch for ‘dirty little secret’, white splotch for ‘little white lies’, etc.
- The realisation that taking off the bad things isn’t enough – Second clown (or pastor, youth pastor, etc.) comes on stage to speak with her—“Jesus wants to make you clean – do you want to be clean?” – need for “Jesus Soap” (Gospel presentation in plain English, not churchese)
- Clown walks behind changing curtain, bubbles pop out over the top of the curtain, walks out in clean costume with clean attitude – sparkly new outfit, all excited
- Clown(s) walk off stage, talking about what happens next, with pastor/children’s pastor coming to the stage
