[The race has started. Earnest and Kristina are jogging in place (with exaggerated running arm motions).] |
| Earnest: |
Okay, I'm wearing my running clothes, I have my number, I'm on the course, now let's see... why am I going, again? |
| Kristina: |
You want to be a missions marathon runner, right? |
| Earnest: |
Right! |
| Kristina: |
Well, missionaries tell other people the good news about how Jesus came to Earth to save them from their sin. That's what you want to do, isn't it? |
| Earnest: |
Yes! But aren't all Christians supposed to do that? |
| Kristina: |
Yes, all Christians are supposed to be sharing their faith with others, but sometimes some of them sit around in the bleachers, instead of running the race. |
| Earnest: |
Oh, I don't want to be like that. I want to do it. I want to get things done. I want to tell people about Jesus. I want to run this race!Jesus said, “go and make disciples of all nations”, and I want to obey. |
| Kristina: |
That's the spirit! [Point.] Look, over there are some more people we could tell about how Jesus died for them. |
| Earnest: |
Great! I wonder why somebody didn't already tell them? If we pick up the pace, we can be over there in a few minutes. |
| Kristina: |
That's why we're going on this missions marathon: because there are people who have never heard how they can get to heaven. |
| Earnest: |
Let's go tell them. |
