From Our Pastor
I heard about an actor who was playing the part of Christ in a Passion Play. As he carried the cross up the hill, tourists began to heckle him and shouted insults to him. Finally, he threw down the cross and punched one in the face.
After the play was over, the director told him, “Look, you’re playing the part of Jesus. You just can’t do that.”
The next day, the heckler was back and worse than ever. Finally, the actor put down his cross, walked over to the heckler and said, “I’ll meet you right after the resurrection!”
Today, we’re talking about anger.
