Acting as a Calling

Exploration of why playing Jesus repeatedly felt significant.

I thought, okay, I had now played Jesus for him a few times. I was getting really comfortable with the role. I was also pulled in during that time between like 2016 and 2019. I started doing these passion plays, being involved in these passion plays that a friend of mine was directing. And then I helped co-direct and then I co-wrote a version of the passion that we would put on for our church. And so for whatever reason, like God was putting me in these situations and these stories about Jesus so often in such a short, I mean, a relatively short period of time. In a few years, I'd played Jesus like five, six, seven times. And I started to think like, well, there must be something to this. Like I don't know what it is yet. And then when I got the call for the chosen, the penny dropped. And it was like, oh, all of that was preparation for this.
