C 2 (to C 3) I can’t believe we have to babysit!

C 1 You can tell me a story.
C 2 Which story should we tell you?
C 1 Tell me – the best story in the Bible.
C 3 (looks through story book)
. Ahhh, which one is that?
C 2 Oh, here, how about the story of Kind David?
. David loved and followed God. God loved David
. and saved David from King Saul.
C 1 No, that’s not the one.
C 3 Well, what about the story of the prophet Elijah
. who loved and followed God. God loved Elijah
. and saved him from starvation. (from being hungry)
C 1 Ahhh, no, that’s not the one.
C 2 Oh, what about the story about Naaman the leper?
. He decided to love and follow God. God loved him
. and saved him from being very sick.
C 1 Ummmm, no, that’s not the one. 2
C 3 Okay, what about the prophet Nehemiah?

. and saved Israel’s land from the enemies.
C 1 No, that’s not the one.
C 2 Okay, how about the story of Queen Esther, who

C 3 The story of Daniel is really awesome.

. and God saved him from the lions in the lion den.
C 1 Mmmmm, no, that’s not the one.
C 2 Okay, so what about Jonah? God loved Jonah,
. and Jonah loved God, but disobeyed God.
. After he decided to follow God,
. God saved him from the belly of the fish.
C 1 Noooo, that’s not the one either.
C 3 So give us a hint.
C 1 John the Baptist told everyone about it.
C 2 John the Baptist was a messenger of God.
C 3 Yeah, John the Baptist told the people about Jesus.
C 2 Oh, I know! The best story must be this –
. God loves all of us so much,
. that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ,
. to die for our sins, so if we love and follow God,
. God will save US - from eternal death.
C 1 That’s the one –
C 2 The best story in the Bible!
C 3 It is... It’s the best story anywhere.
