"Judy,
wake up. Why are you outside in the cold holding that candle?" said Judy's
dad.
"It's my re-birth birthday celebration candle. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Tonight I met the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus died on a cross to pay my sin debt and rose again so I would believe and have eternal life. How could I have been blind to the truth?" The Christmas tree, dad. Let's go see it before we go home."
Tears of joy slide from the corners of her dad's eyes as he stammered, "Yes, let's see the tree. Oh! There's the Pastor. You remember my daughter, Judy? She accepted Christ tonight!"
"You're Brother John," exclaimed Judy! "Everyone calls me Pastor John. Why are you carrying the candle, Judy?"
"It's my re-birth birthday celebration candle," responded Judy. "You know, Let your light shine before others so they can see your good works. I want everyone to know I have received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior."
"Interesting and wonderful thought," said Pastor John. "Let's light up
the Christmas tree!"
