OVERTURE
SONG: I BELIEVE IN A HILL CALLED MOUNT
CALVARY
CHOIR:
There are things, as we travel this earth’s shifting sands,
That transcend all the reason of man
But the things that matter the most in this world,
They can never be held in our hand.
I believe in a hill called Mount Calvary.
I believe, whatever the cost.
And when time has surrendered,
And earth stands no more, I’ll still cling to that old rugged cross.
I believe
(I believe
I believe
(I believe
I will cling to that old rugged cross.
SOLO AND CHOIR
I believe that the Christ who was slain on that cross(I believe !!! on that Cross
"as the #ower to change lives today
($ives today
%or "e changed me com#letely
(Ah!!!
A new life is mine
(life is mine
That is why by the cross I will stay.
CHOIR:
I believe in a hill called Mount Calvary.
I believe, whatever the cost
I believe
And when time has surrendered
And earth stands no more

I’ll still cling to that old rugged cross.
I’ll still cling to that old rugged cross.
In the cross
In the cross
Be by glory ever.
&Til my ra#tured soul shall find
'est beyond the river.
I believe
I believe
I believe
In that old rugged cross
NARRATOR: The old rugged cross. I think
I’ve probably sung that hymn a thousandtimes – especially at this time of year
when we think about the cross, what it
meant then, and what it still means today.
I am so thankful that the story of Easter
doesn’t end at the cross – that the story
of Easter continues all the way to the
empty tomb where Jesus raised from the
dead to offer you and me the promise of
eternal life with im.
I believe that the entire earth must have
celebrated the moment that the resurrected
!avior, the "ncient of #ays, the $reator
and %iver of &ife, triumphed over death
and rose from the tomb to walk among us
once more.
'ut at glorious as that picture is, itwouldn’t be complete without the shadow of
the old rugged cross – the place where
Jesus sacrificed imself for you and for
me. is resurrection is made all the more
glorious by the painful reality of the
cross.

I can’t imagine how confused is disciples
and followers must have been in those
terrible days of is trial, crucifi(ion
and death. )hat was it like for *eter, or
John, or James to know that Jesus – their
friend and teacher – had died such a
horrible death, and that all they had left
were the memories+
I think in they probably relived in their
minds every last moment they spent with
im, trying desperately to find meaning in
what had happened.
The last intimate gathering of Jesus and
is disciples took place in Jerusalem,
where they had gathered to celebrate
*assover – one of the most sacred of all
Jewish holidays. The event was a somber
one – the east of the *assover
commemorates the time when %od freed the
Israelites from bondage in Egypt. In the
last of a series of plagues %od rained on
the tyrannical *haraoh who had enslavedthe Israelites, %od sent death across the
face of Egypt to kill the first-born of
every household and every living thing.
The Israelites were spared only if they
smeared the blood of a spotless lamb on
the door posts of their homes. %od
promised that when #eath passed through
Egypt, e would see the blood of the lamb
and pass over the houses of is people.
It was then, and is now, one of the most
powerful symbols of %od’s mercy and grace.
"nd Jesus and is disciples had gathered
to share the *assover meal – a meal Jesus
knew would be is last with the twelve men

STAGING NOTE: -- Disciples enter one by
one – Narrator introduces each as they are
spotlighted They interact! e"bracing one
another! and "o#ing into place in the
upper roo"
Narrator:
Peter , the big, impulsive fisherman. )henhe first met Jesus, his name was !imon –
but Jesus would change it to *eter, which
means 10ock2 and proclaim – 1/pon this
rock, I will build my kingdom.2 *eter and
John made the arrangements for this final
gathering of the &ord’s disciples.
Matthew , who is also called &evi, probably
seemed a strange choice for one of Jesus’
disciples. " ta(-collector, he served the0oman government, enforcing $aesar’s
revenue laws on the oppressed Jews. The
Jews hated and despised these servants of
the 0oman government, and believed they
were traitors and crooks. 'ut 3atthew
answered Jesus’ call to 1follow 3e,2 and
would later write the %ospel of 3atthew.
Nathaniel: )ho is also called 'atholomew
came from $ana of %alilee – where Jesus
performed is first miracle. e was a
follower of John the 'aptist, and it was
introduced to Jesus at 'ethany.

Thomas: 4ften called 1doubting Thomas2
because he needed to feel the nail prints
in Jesus’ hands before he could believe
Jesus had resurrected serves to remind us
all that Jesus calls us in spite of our
doubts and our shortcomings.
Andrew: The brother of *eter, "ndrew was
also a fisherman by trade, and is known
for introducing people to Jesus. The
'ible says that the first thing "ndrew did
after meeting Jesus was to find *eter and
tell him he’d met the 3essiah.
Philip: &ike "ndrew and *eter, *hilip wasfrom the town of 'ethsaida. Just as
"ndrew raced to tell his friends about
Jesus, so *hilip sped off to find
5athaniel and announce, 1)e have found the
4ne 3oses wrote about in the law6.Jesus of
5a7areth82
Simon: !imon, a member of the 9ealot sect
of Israelites who favored a military
insurrection against the 0oman government,!imon is one of the most unlikely members
of Jesus’ inner circle. ow could the
former 9ealot serve a 3aster who taught of
walking the e(tra mile and loving our
enemies+ *erhaps he first followed Jesus
because he believed that Jesus would lead
the revolt against 0ome and establish
%od’s kingdom on earth – but along the
way, he would learn that Jesus came to
establish a heavenly kingdom with eternal
value.
John: The beloved disciple. John was one
of the three friends Jesus would take with
him to the %arden of %ethsemane. e would

later write the %ospel of John, the
letters of :st John, ;nd John, and <rd John,
and, at the end of his life, the book of
0evelation.
James: The son of "lpheus, was present
when John the 'aptist bapti7ed Jesus in
the Jordan river – when %od’s spirit
descended from eaven in the form of a
dove to announce, 1This is my !on, in whom
I am well pleased.2
James= The son of 9ebedee. James was the
brother of John the beloved, and was also
among Jesus’ closest friends. Jesusreferred to these two as 1the sons of
thunder,2 because of their impulsive
natures.
Thaddeus: &ittle is known about this
member of the disciples. e moved in the
shadows at the edge of the group, yet he,
along with the others, is chosen to gather
here to share the &ord’s last meal on
earth.
And Judas: The traitor.
"s the disciples gathered in the upper
room, the image of Jesus’ triumphal entry
into Jerusalem fresh in their minds, I
imagine they were eagerly awaiting Jesus’
arrival and remembering the many things
they had shared with im during the past
three years.

will betray im+ The apostles are
horrified. The painter, &eonardo #a>inci
captured this moment in his famous
painting of the &ord’s !upper.
!ee how the wave of shock and disbelief
radiates outward from $hrist. Jesus, in
the center, is isolated. is face full of
sorrow.
To his left, *hilip has risen to his feet,
leaning closer to Jesus, demanding an
answer.
James has thrown his hands out in horror,while Thomas, behind him, raises a
?uestioning hand. 3atthew leans toward
Thaddeus and !imon, his hands stretched
toward the &ord in disbelief. Thaddeus,
too, looks to !imon for confirmation,
while the 9ealot indicates his frustration
to his two friends.
4n Jesus’ right, John the 'eloved turns
his face away in horror. *eter, ready asalways for action, grasps his knife in one
hand, and John’s shoulder with the other.
Judas, leans as far from $hrist as
possible, grasping his purse of silver
coins – the thirty pieces of silver he
accepted to betray Jesus. In the
painting, a tipped cellar of salt rests at
his right elbow as a symbol of his
treachery.
"ndrew holds his hands up in horror and
looks to Jesus for confirmation, while
James the &ess reaches out to *eter.
5athaniel has leapt to his feet and leans
forward, straining to hear the
conversation of the other twelve.

or centuries, #a>inci’s painting of the
&ord’s !upper has offered a glimpse of one
of the most tragic moments of the &ord’s
life. There in the upper room, among is
closest friends, knowing that his arrest,
trial, and brutal death would follow,
Jesus has ust told them that e will be
betrayed by one of them – one of the inner
circle.
"t that moment, each of the disciples must
have wondered, 1)hich one of us could it
be+ )ho could possibly betray the &ord+2

NAT&ANIE*: 3y name is 5athaniel. I’m
sometimes called 'atholomew. "nd like
*eter and "ndrew, I, too, am a fisherman.
I am from the small town of $ana in
%alilee, where Jesus performed is first
miracle by turning water into wine. @oucan imagine how ama7ed we all were when
the vats of water became the finest wine.
I had been a follower of John the 'aptist,
and believed John’s teaching that the
3essiah – the long awaited *romised !avior
– would soon be among us. )hen John
introduced me to Jesus at 'ethany, and
later when my good friend *hilip told me
that he believed Jesus was the same man
the prophets had foretold, I admit that my
first reaction was disbelief. 1$ould any
good thing come out of 5a7areth,2 I asked.

5ot that there’s anything wrong with
5a7areth – it’s ust such an insignificant
place. I couldn’t believe that %od would
choose a small village like 5a7areth over
Jerusalem or $apernaum. 'ut *hilip begged
me to come and see.
The first time I spoke to Jesus, he looked
directly at me and said, 1'ehold, an
Israelite in whom there is no guile82
$an you imagine what that was like for me+
I’d never spoken with the 3an. To my
knowledge, he had no idea who I was. "nd
I asked im, 1ow do you know me+2
Jesus looked at me with those knowing eyes
and said that even before *hilip had
called me, that 1)hile I was still under
the fig tree, e had seen me.2
I couldn’t believe it8 @ou see, in my
country, when the working mothers go into
the fields, they place their babies under
the nearest fig tree so the large leaveswill protect their little ones from the
harsh sun. )hat Jesus was saying was that
e had known me since the day I was born.
"nd I knew from the look in is eyes that
it was true. e knew everything about me.
"ll I could say was, 10abbi, you are the
!on of %od, you are the Aing of Israel.2
I immediately became his disciple and have
walked with im from that day on.

im through the villages of %alilee,
through the towns of #ecapolis, and the
streets of Jerusalem. "nd now, as we are

here this evening sharing the *assover, e
has told us that one of us – his closest
companions – is going to betray im. $an
there possible be a traitor among us+ ow
can that be+ I keep asking myself what e
could have meant by that. !urely none of
us would willingly betray the &ord+ 'ut
if e says it’s so, then it must be true.
That’s why I keep asking myself, and im,
Is it I+ Is it I+
$A+ES T&E *ESSER: 3y name is James, but
since it is such a familiar name, I am
called James the &ittle, or James the
&ess, since I am shorter in stature thanthe other men. 3y father is "lpheus, and
we have a proud family heritage that dates
all the way back to the tribe of %ad – one
of the twelve sons of Jacob.
I’ll never forget the first time that I
saw the 3aster. I was passing by the
Jordan when I saw a large crowd gathered.
5aturally, I was curious, so I stopped for
a closer look. Jesus was asking John the'aptist to bapti7e im. John was
hesitant, but Jesus insisted, saying, 1It
must be so.2 I watched intently as Jesus
humbled imself. "nd then, to my
ama7ement, and the ama7ement of the entire
crowd, I saw the eaven’s open and the
oly !pirit, in the form of a dove descend
and land on Jesus’ shoulder. "nd then we
heard a voice out of eaven say, 1This is
my 'eloved !on, in who I am well pleased.2
"nd I knew then, as I have known during
the last three years I’ve spent with im –
that e is truly %od’s !on.

even a small part in that miracle as Jesus
fed all those people.
Just recently, some %reek scholars came
seeking the 3aster, and I was asked to
make the introduction.
@ou know Jesus has a way of seeing the
good deep inside every person e meets.
"nd e saw something in me that I had
overlooked, because e chose me to be one
of is twelve apostles. I’ve been very
close to the 3aster ever since. )e shared
many triumphs and tragedies, and I know in
my heart that e is truly the &amb of %od.
"nd while I may not have been in the inner
circle, like *eter and John, I’m not in
the outer circle either. I’ve been a
friend and companion to the &ord. )hat
greater honor could life afford a simple
fisherman+ )hat greater honor could life
afford any of us+
'ut now, we hear that one of us willbetray im. It’s unthinkable. )hich one+
ow could he live with himself if betrayed
the 3aster+ I can’t imagine it, and yet,
I have to ask myself, could it be "ndrew –
the 'ringer+ Is it I+ Is it I+
+ATT&E,: 3y name is &evi, though some
call me 3atthew, the publican, because I
am a ta(-collector. )hen I met Jesus, e
called me from office where I was carrying
out my service to the 0oman government.
3ay of is disciples and my business
colleagues were present. I’m sure they
wondered why Jesus would pick me, a hated
ta(-collector to be one of is followers.

'ut everything changed for me that day.
It was a royal occasion for me to
entertain Jesus and is followers in my
home. )hen some of the *harisees
complained about Jesus eating with
publicans and sinners, e said, 1Those who
are well have no need of a physician, only
those who are sick.2 "nd e reminded them
of the words of the prophet osea, that
%od 1desires mercy and not sacrifice.2 e
added these significant words of is own –
1or I came not to call the righteous, but
sinners, to repentance.2
!ince that day when I repented and
followed im, I have studied our
!criptures closely, and am now convinced
that Jesus is the fulfillment of every
possible prophecy about the 3essiah –
%od’s "nointed. I have listened carefully
to is sermons. !omeday, I hope to write
a book proving that e is the 3essiah –
the 4ne promised in our sacred writings.
I want to record the magnificent sermon epreached about the good news of the
Aingdom of %od – the sermon e first
delivered on the mountain in %alilee three
years ago. In that message, he delivered
ama7ing, even startling news – good news
for all the world. "nd yet, e has ust
spoken tragic news, that one of us will
betray im. )ho can it be+ )ill they
others suspect me because I was once a
hated ta(-collector+ #o I suspect myself+
Is it I+ Is it I+

were all for armed rebellion against 0ome.
)e believed that by crushing our enemies
under our heels we could reestablish the
ancient glory that was Israel’s in the
days of #avid and !olomon. I wanted to be
a part of what I believed would be a
glorious insurrection.
@et Jesus told us of another kind of
kingdom, the kingdom of the human heart,
where %od reigns supreme.
!ince I heard im, since I have walked
with im, I have changed my mind, and alsomy allegiance. e has shown me that the
con?uest of the heart is the only true,
sincere and lasting con?uest. !o I have
given im my highest loyalty and deepest
devotion. I have unconditionally and
completely surrendered myself to im, to
think is thoughts, to love as e loves
and whom e loves, to obey as e obeys, to
serve as e serves.
This surrender has not imprisoned meD
rather, it has set me free for the first
time in my life. I am not afraid of 0ome
any longer. 0ome is mighty. 'ut %od is
"lmighty. "nd we will con?uer 0ome by
out-living and out-loving her in the name

T&ADDE(S: I am Thaddeus, one of the
twelve disciples Jesus called to serve
with im. There are twelve of us whom
Jesus chose to become the cornerstones of
the new kingdom – the %odly kingdom – e
is establishing, ust as the twelve tribes
of Israel were the cornerstones of the old
Jewish kingdom.
I feel so unworthy to be named among the
apostles, but e selected me. I well
remember the day. "fter a night ofprayer, e called us to im and gave us
authority over unclean spirits and the
power to heal every kind of disease and
infirmity. e then commissioned us to go
forth and preach that the Aingdom of
eaven is at hand.
I was in Jerusalem when e gave the great
invitation to 1$ome unto 3e, all you who
labor and are heavy-laden and I will giveyou rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn
of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart.
@ou will find rest for your souls, for my
yoke is easy and my burden is light.2
Earlier this week, when 3ary anointed the
&ord’s feet with perfume, I know some
thought it was wasteful, but I remember
thinking that Jesus imself has done that
for each of us. e left eaven to come
here – to be with us, to teach us what it
means to truly love.

)hy, ust recently, 3ary and 3artha sent
word that their brother, &a7arus, was sick

!ome of the apostles were afraid to go to

that there has been growing opposition to

five loaves of bread. )hile I was busy
calculating what it was going to cost to
feed that multitude, "ndrew was already
bringing the boy with his small basket of
food to Jesus. )hen I saw it, I almost
laughed. )hile it was generous of the boy
to give up his food for the day, how could
we possibly use his meager meal to feed
the entire crowd.
'ut I learned an important lesson. I
learned that no matter what you bring to
the 3aster, no matter how small, e will
bless it and multiply it to fit the need.
I’ve always had a real yearning, a hunger
to know more about %od. 'ut when Jesus

that e will establish is kingdom.
!ometimes, I have grown frustrated that e
won’t e(ercise the power I know e holds.
4nce, when people in !amaria did not
receive Jesus as I though e should, mybrother and I asked im to call down fire
from heaven to destroy them. e rebuked
us as only e could, and taught us that
%od’s way was always one of love. Is it
any wonder that e sometimes calls us the
1!ons of Thunder.2 )e are both hotheaded
and strong-willed, and sometimes I marvel
that e puts up with us at all.
@et, e is the 4ne who taught me the true
meaning of love – and now, e is about to
be betrayed by one of those whom he loves.

such a thing+ I keep thinking, deep in my

refer to me as the big fisherman. 3y
brother, "ndrew, and I were fishing on the!ea of %alilee one afternoon, casting our
nets into the water, when Jesus walked by

4ne morning e told me to put out into the
deep and let down the nets for a catch.
5ow, I had been fishing all night, and
caught nothing. I have fished the waters
my entire life and know that there are no
fish to be netted once the sun is up. I
tried to e(plain that to Jesus. 13aster,2
I said, 1we have toiled all night and have
caught nothing, but at your word, I will
let down the nets.2
I couldn’t believe what happened ne(t. )e
caught so many fish that we had to summon
other nearby boats to help us contain the
catch. )hen we reached the shore, I fellat Jesus’ feet, and cried out, 1#epart
from me, 4 &ord, for I am a sinful man.2
'ut e took hold of me and called me to be
one of his disciples.
In fact, e even changed my name from
!imon to *eter, which means 10ock.2 "nd
when I confessed im as the $hrist, the
!on of the &iving %od, e said, 1/pon this
rock I will build my $hurch.2
'ut a moment later, when I protested
against is going to Jerusalem – where I
knew men were plotting against im – e
rebuked me and said, 1%et thee behind me,
!atan.2
!o I am a mi(ture of good and bad, of
godliness and ungodliness. 'ut I want to
prove to im that my love and loyalty and
devotion are sincere and genuine.
Tonight, when e told us that one of us
would betray im, I promised to follow im
even unto death if I had to. 'ut e
