A Provocative and Visceral Truth'
On the eve of Jesus' crucifixion, God meets with Judas to explain the part it has written for him; about what he must do to the very man that he loves and the cost it entails. And why only he can play that role.
"I love your name," said God.
Judas wiped his eyes and stared at God.
"So, do I," he said.
"JUDAS. It's a beautiful name."
"It is," said Judas, smiling.
"I named you after a flower that grows only in Heaven," said God.
"My mother named me," said Judas.
"And it was I that whispered your name in her ear."
Who was he to argue with God?
"You love him?"
"I do," said Judas. "He is more than a friend. He is more than a brother. I would lay my life down for him."
"Would you give your name?" asked God.
"I would give him my heart and soul," said Judas.
God smiled.
"That, which is to happen," said God. "Has already been written."
It had, in its hands, the script.
"What is magical," said God, "being a GOD, is that even I, the writer and director of this play, am not in control of the performance. Even I am subject to fate. How the script reads in my mind and how I hear you read it are two wildly different performances. Even I, as God, have to render control."
It calmed Judas hearing that. Even gods could worry.
