"The Bible Holds
the Baby"


When the Bible is laid open, it resembles the manger that cradled the Christ child
Jesus nestles neatly between the Old and New Testaments because he is what connects them.
He is the Savior God promised in the Old who wins us eternal life in the New.

    Six costumed Bible figures (ancestors of Jesus) relate their parts in the story of our salvation and pose a question to the listeners. Each monolog is 2-1/2 to 3 minutes. Ideally, the monologs should be memorized and spoken naturally rather than read or recited. But if you feel it is more appropriate for your situation, the monologs can also be read expressively by just two people (female, male) in contemporary dress.                                        

1. Eve- the mother of all, and partner in sin that caused the need for a Savior. (See sample below ToC)
2. Noah-  chosen to preserve the promised seed through the Flood.  
3. Abraham- father of the Israel nation, from whom the seed would come
4. Ruth- a gentile ancestor of Jesus
5. David- the king whose line would produce the seed
6. Mary- Jesus' mother, who is also his child

Besides the six Bible figures, there are also sections for Readers and Scripture recitations for classes.
