Light, Truth, Love

 

A dramatic reading for one voice."

When the Death Angel saw what was to come, he asked God to send him once again to earth. 'Lord, I'll take them out and you can begin again. there is not one righteous man among them. Not even one.' God called Isaiah and placed refining fire on his lips. God said, 'Tell My people I will send the Light.' And the heavens wondered for God had already sent the moon, the sun and the stars. What good is light in all that darkness? The Death Angel spoke again, 'It is time to move against the evil on the earth. All heaven recoils at the things they speak against You and the things they do against each other.' God spoke to Isaiah, 'Tell My people I will send the Truth.' The heavens wondered for God had already given the Law and the Scripture. What good was truth to a people of lies? The Death Angel spoke again, 'This cannot continue. They have become a people of hatred and violence. Send me to bring vengence and end their evil deeds in the only way they can understand. And the heavens wondered for instead of sending the Death Angel, God came as the Light. And we met His Light with our darkness. And we piled our lies against His truth. And we fought His Love with our angry violence. And three days later He rose again conquering death and sin and the grave. He brought us His beauty for our ashes. He offers Himself as the salve for our healing. And the darkness cannot overcome Him.
