a story: Beautiful

Haik! Time to blog eh? Rites, I wanna share something a dear friend of mine shared to me. All credits go to Petra Gospel Centre and Rachel Diong for sharing this in great detail. It was a musical play entitled "Beautiful" which Petra GC did for Christmas 2009
Here's the summary...
It was about a doctor, who was finding a cure for a group of people who were infected by an abnormal disease. They were isolated on an island for years. Finally, after the doctor found the cure, he infected himself with the disease (to prove to them that it works) and set off for that island. The people there lived with the disease so long that (they had boils and wounds all over their faces and skins, and their life was up to 35 years only) they described the wounds as beautiful.
After the doctor reached the isolated area, he debated with them about the disease. How they were being tricked and lied to about it, and that there is more to life than that. Telling them that smooth and beautiful skin may be obtained if they use the cure that he discovered. A number of them agreed to try it. However the doctor was killed by the "Mayor" of the isolated island.
While some decided to follow his instructions to leave, and get a life in the outside world, some still stick to their so called "Beautiful" life.

It was linked to the gift given by God. A cure for sin. Sin, an even deadlier disease than cancer or AH1N1. Life may not be what we think it is and we might be blinded by others, our daily life, stories and even Satan.

Think the doctor as Jesus.The disease as sin. The action of the doctor infecting himself with the disease similar as Jesus coming in human form and to identify with us...Infecting self to prove that it works is like Jesus becoming man to face all the temptation to prove to us that God also understands what we're going through and Jesus manage to live a perfect life.
If the Doctor didn't infect himself and yet tell of a cure, I wouldn't believe it too cause there's no real evident proof that the cure works.
The "Mayor" killing the doctor is like the authorities aka Romans and the Jewish council which included Pharisees, Sadducee, Experts/Teachers of the Law...persecuting Jesus and the crucifixion.
