Scripture Reference: Ephesians 6:10-20
A lesson on the Armor of God.
Cast:
OZZIE – an excitable little monster
MR. MIKE – the teacher who sets him straight
Props:
Man’s belt
(MR. MIKE starts on stage; OZZIE enters tangled in a belt.)
OZZIE: Mr. Mike! Mr. Mike! Help!
MR. MIKE: (crosses over to OZZIE and starts untangling him) Why in the world are tangled up in a belt?
OZZIE: I was trying to become a superhero.
MR. MIKE: Who? Beltman?
OZZIE: No.
MR. MIKE: Ribbon?
OZZIE: Are you done yet?
MR. MIKE: One more: Or are you trying to be a swashBUCKLEr?
OZZIE: Is that it?
MR. MIKE: Yes.
OZZIE: You got it all out of your system?
MR. MIKE: For now. Why the belt?
OZZIE: I was reading in the Bible about the armor of God, and I thought that would be perfect for a superhero.
MR. MIKE: So the belt is…
OZZIE: (dramatically) THE BELT OF TRUTH!
MR. MIKE: It’s a little big for you.
OZZIE: It’s a lot big for me. I had to borrow it from Mr. Jeff, since I don’t wear pants and don’t need a belt.
MR. MIKE: How are you planning on using the belt of truth?
OZZIE: Not the belt of truth. (dramatically) THE BELT OF TRUTH!
MR. MIKE: OK. How are you planning on using (dramatically) THE BELT OF TRUTH!?
OZZIE: I figured it was like Wonder Woman’s Golden Lasso. I would use it to make bad guys tell the truth about their nefarious plans.
MR. MIKE: That’s not really what the belt of truth is.
OZZIE: (clears throat)
MR. MIKE: That’s not really what (dramatically) THE BELT OF TRUTH! is. In fact, it isn’t really a belt. It’s a metaphor.
OZZIE: Mr. Mike, I’m not as old as you, so I don’t know what a “meta” is, let alone what it’s for.
MR. MIKE: A metaphor is a literary device. It uses imagery to help us understand something hard to picture. In this case Truth. God’s Truth is like a belt. Just like a soldier’s belt surrounds and supports him, God’s Truth surrounds and protects us.
OZZIE: Oh, I see. So I really don’t need Mr. Jeff’s belt.
MR. MIKE: Nope.
OZZIE: It’s too big anyway.
MR. MIKE: Yes, it is.
OZZIE: Besides, I think I’d look much better in (dramatically) THE SUSPENDERS OF TRUTH! (exits)
MR. MIKE: Ozzie!
