Easter is just days away, and while many will be celebrating His resurrection, it can often be a struggle to relate to Jesus’ life as a common man, something R&B Productions aims to help with when they present “The Sisters of Jesus” at 7 p,m. May 2 and 3, at the Agape Fellowship Church, 485 E. Third St., Williamsport.

“When we look at Jesus today, we look at him as a perfect man, a humble man, the Son of God,” said promoter and Pastor Ron Johnson, of the Diamond Street Christian Church.

“This is before his ministry, which he only had for three years before he was crucified. So I want to get in touch and see, did he have a normal or dysfunctional family like everybody else’s,” Johnson said.

Johnson said that prior to His ministry, the only person that knew he was the Son of God was his mother, Mary.

“Nobody knew he was the Messiah in his family, so we tried to tap into as many of his family as possible,” Johnson said.

“His brother, James, was a rebel, he’s supposed to take over the household, but he’s all about hanging out with the boys on the streets. His younger sister is living somewhere else, traveling with her son, and she’s more of a peacekeeper and his older sister is stuck close to home,” he explained.

Johnson said a central theme of the play is that it shouldn’t take a tragedy to bring people closer to God.

“At the end of the play, there was a tragedy that happened, and this is how they found out who he was,” Johnson said, stating that it was only after the death of His nephew, when Jesus brought him back to life that his family realized who He truly was.

“It shows that, just like everyday life, we seem to go through a tragic event or be in a desperate mode to really come to Jesus, and we shouldn’t have to,” Johnson said.

“We shouldn’t have to come to rock bottom if we already know who Jesus is,” he said.

“We should always come to him, 24/7,” Johnson said.
