“The Beggar of Bethesda” is a two-act Biblical drama about the lame man two-thousand years ago who was famously healed by Jesus Christ at the pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem. The beggar is not only lame, but jaded, cynical, apathetic, spending his days conning passersby out of money in the great Temple of Jerusalem. This all changes when a mysterious man appears from out of nowhere and commands that the beggar rise and walk – and, lo, he is cured. This great miracle, however, is not as welcome as expected – not to the temple authorities, not even to the beggar himself – and so he is banished from the city and forced to wander aimlessly. Then, suddenly, a second chance at living comes the beggar’s way – perhaps the only chance he will ever have – but is he faithful enough to take it? “The Beggar of Bethesda” is a play about our relationship with God – the chances He gives us, the overtures we spurn, and the self-destructive role we play in our lives without the strength to believe in something greater than ourselves.
