MC: Good morning, Milton. You really look happy. Why are you smiling?

PUPPET: I am happy and I am smiling because I won a prize, a trophy,
fame and fortune.

MC: Wow! That's pretty impressive. What did you do?

PUPPET: Because I did a miracle. I did the impossible. 

MC: Oh yeah, how did you do that?

PUPPET: I invented a new man.

MC: You created a man! That's impossible! Only God can create people.
There are some things that only God can do and that'sone of them.

PUPPET: Oh, you don't know anything. Do you want to see my creation?

MC: Yes, of course. Let's see this marvel.

PUPPET: (He goes out to get his creation. Comes back in a few seconds
with his creation - a drawing of a man. And shows it to the crowd.)

MC: (Laughs!) Milton, you call this your invention? Is this the man
you created?

PUPPET: Yes, isn't it great!!!

MC: No, Milton, I hate to tell you but it isn't very good. It's
missing a few things to really be a man

PUPPET: Missing? Missing what?

MC: Well for one its missing hands.

MC: It's still not a man. It is missing hair.

MC: Now it's still missing ears... a mouth.... eyes.... nose.....

PUPPET: I'll fix that. Leaves for a momemnt and returns with the "man"
all fixed up, but all mixed up.)

MC: Milton! Now he's really a mess. You've got all his parts in the
wrong places. Why do you have put his nose on the top of his head?

PUPPET: So he doesn't smell anybody's bad breath.

MC: Why are his ears in front of his face?

PUPPET: So he can hear people whispering in front of him.

MC: Why does he have only one eye?

PUPPET: The other is in the back of his head to see who is behind him.

MC: But Milton, he is so ugly!!!!

PUPPET: I'll fix that. Be right back!  (He returns with a new man
correctly drawn.) OK, here he is!  He has it all - eyes, ears, nose,
mouth, hands, etc.

MC: Well, this is better but he still is missing something very
important.

PUPPET: What is missing?

MC: It's not alive! It still lacks real life!!!

PUPPET: But I don't know how to give him life!

MC: That is a good point Milton. You can do alot of things and I am
sure you are very talented but you can't give life. Only God can give
life. And only God can give us life when we die. That is called
eternal life. When we trust in Jesus as our savior he gives us eternal
life. That's what our verse teaches us today. John 3:16
