Q

I don’t know, it’s pitch black in here. Wait… no… no way… you’ve got to be kidding me… the catacombs? I thought you told me this was an emergency.

A

It is.

Q

Look, Doc, don’t worry. Nero will get over it… he always does. Besides if things get really bad I can get you out of this city in no time. I’ve got connections. You’re going to be fine.

A

No, Theophilus. Not this time. That’s why I brought you here. I need your help.

Q

That’s very flattering, but I have no interest in ending up on the end of one of Nero’s lampposts.

A

There’s no other way. If you don’t take the message, who will? By tomorrow Nero will have all the Christians rounded up and the good news of Jesus will die with us. You’re our only hope.

Q

Look we’ve been all through this before… it’s a nice story… and I’m glad it works for you. But I’m not interested.

A

That’s because you’ve never heard the story.

21
Q

Enough to know what it’s all about.

A

You stop me every time I bring the subject up.

22
Q

I don’t want religion getting in the way of our business relationship. We’re partners, remember?

A

That’s not it… you’re afraid to listen because of what it might mean for you.

23
Q

Then why do you want me to carry the message? Find someone else.

A

Because I know your heart, Theophilus. I have what you’re looking for, if you’ll just listen.

24
Q

You know, once your eyes get used to the darkness down here it’s not nearly as creepy.

A

There’s nothing to be afraid of… we met here for church every week.

25
Q

Church? Is that what these markings on the wall are for?

A

Those are symbols… behind every one of those pictures is a story. Do you want to hear them?

26
Q

You don’t give up do you?

A

These aren’t my stories, Theophilus. For years I’ve been gathering reports from those who saw Jesus with their own eyes. If you don’t want to hear it from me, then the least you could do is listen to them.

27
Q

I guess we’re already here… it couldn’t hurt… but that doesn’t mean I’m going to believe or anything.

A

All I’m asking you to do is listen, Theophilus.

28
Q

Good. Where do we start?

A

How about at the beginning?

29
Q

With the alpha?

A

That’s right, the first letter of the Greek alphabet and beginning of our story. (walk back)

30
Q

That’s it? You brought me all the way down here to tell me about a baby? What good is that?

A

It’s just the beginning, Theophilus.

31
Q

Even Greeks could do better than that. Their gods are rich and powerful. They control the world with a wave of their hand. And you expect me to believe in some baby born in a food trough?

A

He was more than just a baby.

32
Q

Then what was he?

A

He was the Son of God - the Creator of the universe wrapped in human form.

32
Q

How do you know?

A

Some thirty years later, on the banks of the Jordan River, the Savior of the world was revealed. (walk back)

32
Q

Do you really expect me to believe all that? Anyone could claim to be God. I could do it if I wanted.

A

But that wouldn’t make it so, would it?

32
Q

Exactly. So how can we know?

A

I can only tell you what he did in my life, Theophilus, and in the lives of others.

32
Q

What’s that?

A

Miracles.

32
Q

It’s all magic… the work of a clever charlatan.

A

But the greatest miracle of all is a life that has been changed… no one has ever been able to explain that away. (walk back)

33
Q

Don’t tell me you believe in all that.

A

Giving sight to the blind, healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead…

34
Q

awkward silence

A

You’re quiet, Theophilus.

34
Q

I’m thinking. Let’s suppose…
…Why would e want to help someone like me?

A

I thought you’d never ask. Because he loves you.

35
Q

Loves me? Why would he want to do that?

A

That’s the best part of the story, Theophilus.

36
Q

“One more crucifixion and we’ll all be going home.”

A

What about you, Theophilus?

37
Q

I… I don’t know what to say? I don’t know why I’m so emotional? It’s just a story.

A

No, Theophilus. It’s more than just a story.

38
Q

Do you think so?

A

Everything you’ve ever longed for… your fondest hopes… your wildest dreams can be yours.

39
Q

How can I know that it won’t disappear the moment I leave here?

A

You’ve met the one who has been pursuing your heart all these years… how can you ever be the same again?

39
Q

I’ve never felt this way before.

A

It’s called joy.

40
Q

I won’t… not ever again. What do I do now?

A

In a matter of hours every Christian in Rome will have been rounded up, except you.

41
Q

Why not me?

A

You’ve been one of them for so long, they’ll never suspect.

42
Q

But I want to stay with you… I have so much to learn -

A

No. You have a message to give… without you the story will end right here. We can’t let that happen. There’s a world that is longing to hear.

43
Q

But I don’t know what to say.

A

Tell them what happened here… tell them what Jesus has done for you. That is al they need to know. (pause) Go, Theophilus, thake the torch of God’s truth and lift it high. Let it shine in the darkness of this world. (start to exit)

44
Q

Luke, wait…

A

Carry the light, Theophilus. Carry the light. (exit)
