WHAT
A character-driven drama centering on Joseph of Arimathea, a respected council member who must choose between silence and courage after Jesus’ death. The skit explores fear, reputation, obedience in darkness, and the quiet faith that prepares the way for resurrection hope.
THEME
Faith that costs something is still faith. Obedience in the dark prepares the way for light.
