The Three Wise Women
.................................................................................
The three wise men Casper, Melchior, Balthasar. They're beloved characters in the traditional Christmas story. Through the centuries, these mysterious figures have captured our imaginations and inspired us to " follow the star " on our own spiritual journey to Bethlehem. Of course, we don't relly know what their names were, or even in fact, three of them.
We do know, however, that there were three wise women: Mary, Elizabeth, and Anna - three very different women, in different ages and stages of life. Yet they were all women who " feared the Lord ". And each one played a crucial role in the events of the true Christmas Story. Each one, in her own way, set a powerful example for us to follow today.
....................................................................................................
Mary: She was a young woman, a teenager, about to be married. She stood at the threshold, full of hopes and dreams for her future. Most of her time was spent preparing for her wedding. When the angel appeared, he brought a message that would change her life forever. He told Mary that she was " highly favored ". God had chosen her to bear a His son. From now on, all generations would call her blessed.
What an awesome priviledge! What an incredible responsibility.
At that moment, Mary could not have imagined all that it would entail. She asked the natural question: " How can that be? " We can tell from the angel's gentle reply that it was not asked in doubt or skepticism. Mary didn't deman a sign, some sort of proof or additional confirmation. She voiced no complaint at the total disruption of her life. She knew now that things would not turn out in the way that she had planned. But in her heart, there was no resistance, no rebellion. Just a sweet, simple sunmission - surrender to the will of God.
" I am the Lord's servant, " she replied. " May it be to me as you have said ". ( Luke 1:38)
In essence, she told the angel that God could use her in any way He chose, because she was a willing vessel, fully available to Him. How that must have blessed the heart of God! No wonder He chose this precious young woman to be the mother of His son.
...................................................................................................
Elizabeth: She was barren in a culture in which a woman's worth was measured by the number of children she produced. She was infertile at a time when an inability to bear children was seen as a sign of God's judgement - a curse. She and her husband had prayed feverently for a child, but now her childbearing years had passed. Elizabeth had every reason to be bitter, but instead she followed God's commandments blamelessly. ( Luke 1:6) She continued to walk in faithful obedience, even when she didn't understand His will. She continued to pour out her heart to Him, even when it seemed He wasn't listening.
Then miraculously, God answered her prayers and Elizabeth conceived a child in her old age. She knew it was the hand of God supernaturally intervening in her life. When her kinswoman Mary arrived for an unexpected visit, Elizabeth knew why she had come. Elizabeth had heard God's voice speaking to her. She was attuned to His spirit.
With the authority of a woman who has experienced God's faithfulness, she exclaimed to Mary, " Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be done " ( Luke 1:45).
In that instant, Elizabeth took on the role of a Spiritual Mother or Godly mentor. She gave gave Mary words of encouragement as Mary felt very much alone. Elizabeth affirmed Mary and confirmed the word of the Lord to her. If Mary had any doubts or fears, Elizabeth dispelled them with a joyous reminder of God's love and faithfilness.
..................................................................................................
Anna: At 84, she was coming to the end of her life. No doubt Anna had already out-lived most of her friends and relatives. Her husband had died more than 60 years earlier, seven years after they were married. She had no young children to care for and for whatever reason she never remarried. The culture didn't allow a woman to pursue a career. So Anna had a lot of time on her hands.
She could have spent that time living in the past and longing for the good old days. She could have become the proverbial busy-body, she could have sat on her pourch complaining to her neighbours about all her aches and pains and the problems that come with growing older. But she didn't.
Instead, Anna devoted herself to a loving God. Just loving God. Spending time in His presence. As the years went by, she devoted more and more of herself to Him. " She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying " ( Luke 2:37)
Scripture tells us that God honors those who honor Him. He gave His servant Anna the privledge of living to see what men of old had died waiting for: The coming of the Messiah. She was there in the temple, where she always was, when God's baby son's dedication took place. She responded to the blessed event in the same way she always did. " She gave thanks " ( Luke 2:38). Then she told everybody who would listen about the goodness and greatness of our God.
.................................................................................................
The Play:
Setting For the First Scene: A temple prop. Elizabeth's husband Zachari is seen talking to the angel. ( Luke 1:9-21). Move the temple off to the side of stage and here we see Anna worshipping and praying to the Lord quietly.
Setting For the Second Scene: A simple hut where Elizabeth realizes that she is with child, ( Luke 1:24-25). Off to the side of stage, Anna is still there.
Setting For the Third Scene: A simple abode where Mary is sitting alone planning her wedding, when an angel of the Lord appears to her. ( Luke 1:28-38)
Off to the side of the set, a temple constructed of cardboard and here we have Anna always sitting worshiping and praying to God. This temple will remain throughout the play, as with Anna waiting expectantly for the Messiah.
Setting For the Fourth Scene: Mary comes to Elizabeth's home
( Luke 1:39-56) After Mary leaves Elizabeth gives birth ( Luke 1: 57-80)
Setting For the Fifth Scene: Mary given birth in a manger,
(Luke 2:6-17)
Setting For the Last Scene: Baby Jesus being dedicated at the temple and Anna seeing the long awaited Messiah, ( Luke 2:36-39)
In summation: By reviewing the scriptures, you can find the words for your actors to say. In all a different twist from the 3 wise men but equally significant in the true Christmas Story.
