The Oxford Dictionary ofEnglish defines drama asan exciting, emotional, or
unexpected event or circum-stance.
Evenbreathingalone canbeadramatic act, and so are the actsof walking, sleeping, sitting,dancing, talking, interacting,silence and non-action. Therecan be no story without drama.Weallhaveourownstoriestotell.Ifeveryonehasastorythatcanbedescribed as dramatic, howmuchmoreabout the story of theself-proclaimed creator of theearthwhowas theWord that be-cameMan,theLordJesusChrist?
Hence, one must necessarilyexpect a lot of drama in the storyof the author of life who gracedthis Earth in the form of a manthey called Jesus Christ. Peopleare interested in drama.
If you tell ordinary people astory that is full of philosophicalquotes and references, you aremore than likely going to losetheir interest, unless they are in-tellectually-inclined.
Themajority of people are notnecessarily interested in philo-sophical or highly intellectualmatters.
If you want to tell them some-thing that is philosophical or re-quires them to think deeply andinterpret what they are beingtold, it must be presented bysomeone forwhom they have re-spect, look up to or like.
The story you are tellingmusthave a clear storyline and be insimplified language, (with moreaction than talking if it is a filmscript), failingwhich you risk notbeingunderstoodbyyour readeror audience.
Christ uses parables, and hisfollowers are interested in hear-ing what he has to say, not somuch because he is easy to fath-omorunderstand,butbecauseofthe person he is, was or alwaysbe, as a God in man.
Obviously, they would not beinterested to hearwhat he has tosay if he is not a healer or helper,
if he doesnot raise the dead, if hedoes not heal the sick, walks onsea water, orders the storm andthe wind to be quiet, and dupli-cates food for the multitudes toeat.
In theHoly Bible, his discipleswant to know why he uses para-bles when teaching, effectivelysuggesting that He is risking notbeingunderstoodbytheordinaryfolk.
He replies by saying that itdoes not matter because notmany will see heaven after all!But he does explain some of theparables tohiswouldbepromot-ers and these are a useful part oftheHolyBible toexplainwhat thegood Lord was saying to us.
The story of human liferevolves around drama. We areborn, we live and we die, or exitthe stage of life, and our childrenandtheirchildrenremainbehindto tell the story of our lives.Christ’s story was precisely likethat, and even more than that.
Hewasborn,helived,hedied,and hewas resurrected from thedead. Andhis followers fromdif-ferent denominations the worldover are telling the story of theircommon master as they seek toemulatehim,andbe likehimandrepresent him in the Earth.
Onecan’tbutcelebratethesto-ryofthisancientJesuwhoactual-ly cemented his family ofChristianfollowersthataretodayspread all over the world,working in different languagesand operating within differentcultures.
Iamfascinatedbythedramat-iceventsandwayof thinking thatispromulgatedbythisChristwhostarted and sustained this divinemission before and after he haddied a physical death on thecross, and buried for three daysin accordance with prophesy.
Hence he is worshipped,talked about and his representa-tives are preaching and singinghispraisesandhonour to theglo-ry of his father, thealmightyGod.

Obviously, Abafana Bes’thende did nothave a good season at all and are still fightingoff the relegation tag.
Arrows defender, Sobantu-born Siyanda“Jojo”Zwane,believeshis teamis justunluckybecause they are playing well.
Arrows PRO Vusumuzi Vilakazi stronglyadvises the Team of Choice not to underminehis teamorbe fooledby their currentposition.
“We might be down there but not yet out.Weareprepared to fight hardall thewayuntilthe last day to avoid the dreaded axe.
“We are still positive and believe that wewill be able to avoid the chop because webelong to PSL not NFD,”said Vilakazi.
Team of Choice publicist Brian Zuma saidthat the home side will entertain the visitorswithrespect,butrememberingthat theyareathome and are not prepared to give away any-thing.
“Home games are always important andtheymotivate us to fight formaximumpoints.Our home fans are like an extra player for usand push us to do well,” he said.
The game that is expected to put thewholecountry on standstill will be between the logleaders, Kaizer Chiefs and second placedMamelodi Sundowns on Saturday at FNBstadium.
