Theology of Art
I'm blessed to have very talented artists for friends. One in particular, Cindy Kenny, recently appeared in a video adaptation of a Christian drama entitled "The Stool". You can see it here , but I'll offer a brief synopsis before commenting.
A beautiful and vivacious young woman approaches a young man on stage holding a stool out in front of her. She presents it as a gift to the young man, who is cast as Jesus. He's honored, but tells her that whoever sits on that stool gets to make all the decisions. He asks if that's what she really wants.
She enthusiastically agrees, telling "Jesus" that she really wants him to make all the decisions for her. He agrees and sits down on the stool. The woman is then joined consecutively by two friends who invite her to participate with them in something. The first friend wants to do something bad, and then the second wants to do something good. Jesus says "no" to the bad invitation and "yes"...
