Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts.
The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't.
The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled.
But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige".
"The Prestige" dalam film dan dunia sulap merupakan kebanggan bagi pesulap itu sendiri. Tapi bagaimana dengan kehidupan nyata dalam pelayanan? Bukankah sebuah kebanggaan dan tepuk tangan sorak sorai malaikat di Sorga yang menjadi "The Prestige" dalam dunia penginjilan.
Menjadi sebuah kebanggaan jika kita -sebagai Gospel Magician- mendapatkan The Prestige setelah usai perform, namun, terlebih lagi, Injil yang diberitakan menjadi menu paling utama sehingga seribu malaikat di Surga bertepuk tangan untuk satu jiwa yang dimenangkan.
Kapan terakhir kalinya Anda merasakan "The Prestige" dalam pelayanan penginjilanmu?
Are you watching closely? Di dunia ini masih banyak jiwa yang harus dimenangkan.
