(Two people meet each other in the center of the stage/chancel)
1: How’s it going?
2: Couldn’t be worse. How’s it by you?
1: Couldn’t be better.
1&2 together: 1: Gee, that’s too bad! 2: Gee, that’s great!
2: Gotta try harder.
1: Don’t have to worry.
2: It’s all so futile.
1: It’s all so marvelous.
1 & 2: What are you talking about?
2: The Code.
1: The Spirit.
2: It’s grating.
1: It’s great.
2: You know, I’ve already sinned a dozen times today.
1: Feel like I’ve been forgiven at least two dozen times this morning.
2: It’s maddening.
1: It’s marvelous.
2: “Don’t do this; don’t do that!”
1: “God in peace, your sins are forgiven.”
2: It feels like such a prison.
1: I feel pretty free.
2: “The wages of sin is death.”
1: “The free gift of God is eternal life.”
2: Law, Law, Law.
1: Gospel, Gospel and more Gospel.
2: Pretty bad news.
1: Sounds pretty good to me.
2: Do you ever stop to consider where it’s all heading?
1: (pleased) Yeah!
2: Something’s got to be done.
1: Funny, I thought it already was.
2: Seems to me God spoke pretty clearly when He gave us His commandments.
1: But clearest of all when He gave us His Son.
2: Aren’t you frightened?
1: Not particularly. Aren’t you joyful?
2: Not particularly. I look into the future and see the big unknown.
1: I see the returning Christ.
2: We know what He wants us to be like.
1: I know what He’s like.
2: Pure and holy.
1: Us or Him?
2: Both?
1: We are.
2: I’m not. And that’s what bothers me.
1: I am, at least because of Christ, and that’s what makes me happy.
2: There’s still no way of getting around the Old Covenant.
1: I thought the New Covenant had taken care of that.
2: Do you always have to have the last word?
