Strange Name
When an actor portrays a character in a play, suddenly he becomes
another person. He becomes a stranger. Yet, as
"strange" as this character may be, somehow we as an audience
are intrigued to know more. A stranger unlocks another door; a door
that could lead us anywhere.
When David was afraid
that others might learn of his identity he protected himself by
becoming a stranger. "He acted
like a madman" and so effectively that the king thought him
to be insane and expelled him from his presence (1 Samuel 21:10-15).
Jesus, the Master of all, was also the Master Thespian of men. Who
else could appear to his own mourners and be considered "only
a stranger"? (Lk.24:18 KJV) Yet, in that same passage
of Luke 24:13-35, we learn that "Jesus acted"
(v.28) like a stranger so that he could draw out
the hearts of his followers to test their faith and generosity.
In the same Spirit, we
at Only a Stranger Productions hope to emulate
the great Master and the "man after his own heart" and
create productions that transport people through space and time
to a place where their hearts can be opened and revealed before
the Lord. Though we may only be "aliens and strangers on earth"
(Heb 11:13), we are all God's children, known and loved by him.
So, go ahead... BE a stranger in this world, but
be a friend to God. Please, come and be our guest as we journey
closer to Him!
