Props:
Road maps.
Marty
Mountaineer: (Enters juggling the maps. He
is holding several maps in his arms. He
is trying to read an open map while walking.) Let's see, this road leads to
... I don't know!
Larry
Low:
(Taking some of the maps from Marty Mountaineer.) Let me help you
with these.
Marty
Mountaineer: Thank you. I am
trying to find the way to go. it is all very confusing.
Larry
Low:
Maybe I can help you.
Marty
Mountaineer: Would you?
That would be great!
Larry Low:
First off, where are you going? This
map is of __________ (name the location),
and this map is of
(name the location), and this
map ... wait a minute. All these
maps are for different places!
Marty
Mountaineer: So.
Larry
Low:
Where do you want to go?
Marty
Mountaineer: I want to hike up
a mountain!
Larry
Low:
Okay, then most of these maps won't help you.
Marty
Mountaineer: Why not?
Larry
Low:
Because they aren't of mountain trails.
Marty
Mountaineer: Oh.
Larry
Low:
Do you have any maps of mountain trails?
Marty
Mountaineer: Uh, no.
Larry
Low:
No?
Marty
Mountaineer: I thought that any
map would show me how to get there. I picked out some really pretty ones. (Chooses
a map and opens it up.) See this map. Look
at all the lines. There are red lines and blue lines.
Larry
Low:
That is a very nice map of
(name the location), but that doesn't help you know the right way to
go.
Marty
Mountaineer: Let me get this
straight. Even though I have a map.
It doesn't mean that I know the way to go?
Larry
Low:
Yes.
Marty
Mountaineer: What do I do?
I want to make sure I get to the top of the mountain.
Larry
Low:
You need the right map. A
map of mountain trails. But first
you must choose the mountain you want to hike.
Then we can get the right information.
Marty
Mountaineer: Will there be only
one way to the top?
Larry
Low:
No. Sometimes there are many trails, or paths, to the top of a mountain.
Marty
Mountaineer: How will I know
which trail to take?
Larry
Low:
Follow the mountain guide!
Marty
Mountaineer: Oh. I guess that
would be a good idea. it would be better if there was only one way to the top.
Larry
Low:
Did you know that Jesus says that He is the way.
Not one way-but the way?
Marty
Mountaineer: He is the way to where?
Larry
Low:
Jesus is the only way to Heaven.
Marty
Mountaineer: There is only one
way to Heaven?
Larry
Low:
Yes, the only way to Heaven is to believe in Jesus Christ.
That's what the Bible says.
Marty
Mountaineer: So our Bible is
like a compass, a light, and a map.
Larry
Low:
Yes, and we should learn what the Bible says so we can follow Jesus.
Marty
Mountaineer: I'll go put these
maps with the lamp and all my books. I am almost ready to hike up a mountain!
Larry
Low:
Bye everyone. We'll come
back again.
