The Greatest Gift
ROCKY: (Rocky and Piper enter) Piper, what is the greatest gift that anyone can give?
PIPER: Rocky, that gift has already been give.
ROCKY: What gift is that?
PIPER: I wrote a poem that'll explain it. It's called "The greatest Gift."
A gift is something given
No matter how you've been:
A gift is something given
No matter if you've sinned.
Gifts aren't much of a gift,
Unless they're given in love
And we have the greatest Gift
From our Father up above.
Jesus is the greatest Gift
From the greatest Love of all:
Jesus is the greatest Gift
For our Father loves us all.
ROCKY: Oh, I see! Jesus is the greatest Gift to everyone!
Can you tell me where it talks about it in the Bible?
PIPER: Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
ROCKY: So, you're sayin' that Jesus has brought to us His gift of eternal life?
PIPER: Yes, Rocky! So when a person gets saved, he has Jesus in his heart
and he has life forever in heaven with Jesus!
ROCKY: Wow, that's the greatest Gift in the whole world!
PIPER: It certainly is and Jesus offers it to everyone who wants it!
ROCKY: What Bible vers says that?
PIPER: II Peter 3:9 says, "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men
count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should parish,
but that all should come to repentance."
ROCKY: That's like John 3:16 that says "God so loved the world."
PIPER: You got that right!
ROCKY: You know what? I'm gonna ask my friends, "What is the greatest gift?"
and see if they can answer it right!
PIPER: That's a very good idea, Rocky! (Turns to audience)
Hey, boys and girls, maybe you can do the same thing!
We gotta go for now. See you later! (Rocky and Piper exit)
