No, that's it:

The sound of knocking at the door on Christmas Eve

Narrator: This play is about what happened in front of a church on Christmas Eve. At that time, many people came to the church door with hope. They think that as long as they can get into the church, they can get what they need. What are they doing in the church? Can you get everything you need? Please watch the whole play.

(The curtain rises: a church appears, brightly lit, and the hall rings with harmonious Christmas songs. )

Narrator: Look, a young man came to the church gate. Listen, why did he go to church?

Wu Zhiwen: My name is Wu Zhiwen, because I like listening to music since I was a child. My classmates, colleagues and even my father, mother, grandfather and grandmother call me a "music fan".

(At this moment, a harmonious Christmas song rang out in the hall, louder and louder. )

Wu Zhiwen: Wow! What wonderful music! This is the first time I have heard it since I was born. (I am intoxicated) This is not a dream! (rubbing his eyes with his hand and patting his face hard) It's not a dream, (looking around, seeing the church) Oh! It turned out to be church music. No wonder it is so charming. I have to get in there and enjoy myself. (Hurry to the door, push the door with your hand and see that the door is closed)

Voice inside: Friend, why are you here?

Wu Zhiwen: I come from far away, and now I am attracted by this wonderful music. I want to live in this music. Please open the door and let me in!

Door sound: Sacred music is beautiful, it can really touch people's hearts, because it comes from the author's response to God's love.

Wu Zhiwen: Then please open the door quickly and let me go in early to enjoy this wonderful music.

Door voice: Jesus Christmas shows that God loves the world. Do you want to believe in this loving God?

Wu Zhiwen: God? God? This music and God ... (pacing back and forth) Music is the best, but what about God? Alas ..... (I hate to leave)

Narrator: Many people came to the church gate just to appreciate the beauty of church music, but refused to accept Jesus. Ahem! Ignorant people! At this time, a pregnant woman came to the church door happily. Look at her happy. Maybe thank God, because she will be the mother of the child. Listen carefully and see what she is doing in church.

Huang Xiujuan: I got married in March this year. Counting the baby inside, it's been six or seven months. My in-laws and husband want me to have a fat son. Me! Needless to say! Even when I sleep at night, I dream that I gave birth to two fat boys. It is said that God is kind and willing to help others. Today is Christmas, so I have to go in and beg him. (walks to the door and knocks)

Voice inside: Friend, why are you here?

Huang Xiujuan: I heard that Jesus, the son of God, was born!

Door voice: Yes, we are here to celebrate and commemorate his birth!

Huang Xiujuan: Great. This is a great event. Everyone likes having a son. Please open the door and let me ask God for mercy. I dream of having a son!

Voice inside the door: Oh! You are so lucky. You're going to be a mother again.

Huang Xiujuan: Of course! Open the door for me!

Door voice: the future mother, giving birth to boys and girls are all gifts from God, and the fetus is the continuation of life and the mystery created by God! Now that you have come, would you like to bring the baby here to be born?

Huang Xiujuan: As long as I can have a son, I will definitely bring him here!

Voice inside the door: Boys and girls are all the same, because they are all given by God!

Huang Xiujuan: Hum! I just want a son! I won't come again until I have a son! (talking and running)

Narrator: Oh! The pregnant woman didn't come to thank God for having a baby, because she was going to be the mother of the baby. She left because she just came to have a son. Alas ...

(After a pause, a hymn came from the hall. ) Look, another young man is coming.

(Several men and women are singing and dancing. )

Chen Jun: Alas ... Alas ... (The others stopped singing and dancing and gathered around, and the music became smaller)

Others: For what? Which girl do you like?

Chen Jun: Look (pointing to the church door), someone has entered. How about we go in and have a look?

Fangfang: I don't know. Do you want tickets?

Lingling: You'd better not enter this place. If you do, I will hold you for a long time. Mahjong and poker are not fun. You can't watch children's laughter movies. In short, there is no point in living like this.

Zhang Hui: The music is good. With a little adaptation, dancing must be quite exciting. (At this time, the sacred music is loud again.)

Jiao: Come, come, come, let's dance to the music! Sirs began to jump, but they couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

Jiao: This music is not suitable for dancing. It is so boring. Let's go to the ballroom!

Gentlemen: This place is really boring. Let's go Go and play somewhere else.

Chen Jun: I said you guys, you should go first. I have an important matter to ask.

Gentlemen: Just looking for someone (as if looking for someone) (laughter). Then come forward quickly. Good luck. Bye-bye ... (four young people dancing)

When everyone else has left, Chen Jun faces the audience. )

Chen Jun: I am in my early thirties this year, and I have talked to several friends without success. Well, some girls are the same now, they value money, house and power. It is said that people who believe in Jesus have good character. Even the old lady next door said it was absolutely safe to find someone to go to church. Now I want to go in and see if I can find a satisfactory girlfriend. (As he said, the man took out his comb and mirror from his suit pocket, looked at his face, combed his hair, adjusted his clothes, went in and knocked on the door, and then took two steps.)

Chen Jun: No, no,no. My boots haven't been polished yet. Find someone! (Say that finish, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, bent down to polish his boots and walked on. He just walked to the door, rubbing his hands carefully and knocking tentatively. )

Voice inside: Friend, why are you here?

Chen Jun: I know that believing in Christianity is also persuading people to be kind. People who believe in Jesus have good character. Let me go in and find someone. Please help!

Voice outside: Young friend, you are wrong, this is not a marriage agency-

Chen Jun: (eyes burning with desire) I don't ask much, as long as I am a few years younger, shorter ... a little shorter, thin and chubby. What if I get married, as long as she doesn't have children?

He pushed the door again, but it was still closed. At this time, there is a beautiful hymn-Silent Night ...)

Jun Chen: Alas … it seems hopeless. Let's learn about Jesus first. Alas, Christmas Eve! (disappointing)

Narrator: Some young people came to church not to know Jesus, but to find someone in the church. When their purpose could not be achieved, they had to leave disappointed. When they found someone, they said goodbye to Jesus. There are two young people coming, perhaps with their different purposes!

(Jinshan whistles and puts his hand on Hai Yin's main shoulder)

Hai Yin: Jinshan, do you know where Jesus came from?

Jinshan: (Don't whistle) Are you talking about Jesus in Christianity?

Hai Yin: Yes! Do you know which country he comes from?

Jinshan: I heard that it seems to be Jewish. Hey, Hai Yin, why do you ask?

Hai Yin: You said he was Jewish and, er, always a foreigner, right?

Jinshan: Yes, he is a foreigner. So what?

Hai Yin: (patting Jinshan with his hand) Listen. ...

(At this time, the music happens to be: Come and worship the song together)

Jinshan: Listen to what?

Hai Yin: The church is not singing: "Come on, come on, let's go to Bethlehem ..." (Singing)

Jinshan: Oh dear! Yes! Great!

Hai Yin: Please let Jesus be an economic guarantee, and go to the Jewish state first! (surprise)

Jinshan: Yes! Then it is easy to find opportunities to go to Paris, London and Tokyo. Now we really have a golden mountain and a silver sea!

Hai Yin and Jinshan: (singing and walking forward) Come together, come together, go to Bethlehem!

Hai Yin: (Suddenly remembering something) Hey, Jinshan, we must be polite when we go in. Jesus is a big shot. Don't be so obsessed with money as usual. Even impolite (putting on airs-rubbing your thumb and forefinger means sending money through the back door).

Jinshan: Hey, do you still need to teach this? How can you make a lot of money without spending a little money on watermelons without losing some sesame seeds? If Jesus is willing to help, I will earn a lot of money abroad, and I will thank him greatly.

(Hai Yin and Jinshan look at each other, serious, raise their hands and knock at the door, but nothing happens)

Hai Yin: This is a rare opportunity. Let's hold on to it. Come on, let's break in. They tried to hit it, and then the door opened. At this moment, Juan Lin came out from the inside, stood at the door and saw their ridiculous appearance. )

Jinshan and Hai Yin: (Jumping up happily, the door opens! The door is open! We can go in and go abroad! Go in! )

(They want to go in and look up at Juan Lin)

Jinshan: (eagerly) Hey, if you come out, will Jesus make an economic guarantee?

Hai Yin: I think we can go abroad soon, right? Jesus is willing to be our financial guarantee. He is not a simple man. We are going abroad this time!

Juan Lin: (surprised) What? You want to go abroad, too

Two people: (smiling and nodding) Yes!

Juan Lin: You have the wrong house!

Jinshan: What? Is Jesus playing the devil's advocate again? Didn't you just ask us to "come together, come together and go to Bethlehem"?

Juan Lin: I just wanted to find Jesus, so I squeezed in through the crowd and turned around, but I couldn't even find Jesus.

Hai Yin: Maybe he will stay in some fancy hotel!

Juan Lin: I think so, too, but I took out foreign currency and tried to find a way, but they just wouldn't say, OK, let's find another way.

Narrator: Some people come to the church and want to ask the Lord to help them go abroad. Once they fail to go abroad, they return disappointed and even complain. Look, they are young and middle-aged, and now old people want to come here. Guess why they came?

(At this moment, two old men came over, leaning on crutches. )

Liu Jin: Sister, how is your family?

Liu Yin: My son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter are really filial and care about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Liu Jin: You are a blessed person.

Liu Yin: But not long ago, I went to the hospital for an examination. The doctor said I have some Ca. I haven't been feeling well recently. I'm a little scared. No, I'm going to church today to ask Jesus to heal me. What about you? How have you been recently?

Liu Jin: Well, it's a long story. I have four sons, all of whom are grandchildren.

Liu Yin: You are so lucky. You have many sons. When you get old, you will be taken care of.

Liu Jin: Some people say that many children are more blessed, which is wrong. Many children are more miserable.

Liu Yin: How can Dozy be more miserable?

Liu Jin: You know, I raised my sons with great pains and married them. They exhausted our health by having children. It broke my fucking heart, but now I'm old and useless. None of my sons will leave me to live in his house, leaving me alone in a leaky house.

Liu Yin: (angrily) This, this is too much.

Liu Jin: On one occasion, I was ill and I didn't have clean water for three days.

Liu Yin: Your descendants didn't give you anything to eat.

Liu Jin: Oh, you're welcome. They are well aware of this. They all pretended not to know, because they were afraid to pay my medical expenses.

Liu Yin: Then what happened?

Liu Jin: Later, a man who believed in Jesus learned about it and brought me medicine and boiled water. Under her care, the disease finally recovered. Otherwise, the body stinks and no one knows.

Liu Yin: It's good to believe in Jesus (praise again and again)

Liu Jin: Today is Christmas. I just went to church to find caring believers.

Liu Yin: Yes, let's go to church together.

(Silver willow knocks at the door)

Voice inside the door: Friend, why are you here?

Liu Yin: I am only 76 years old, and my children and grandchildren are very filial. The doctor said that I have some incurable diseases, and I don't want to leave this world so early. I heard that Jesus has great power to raise the dead. Please open the door, let me in, and ask Jesus to heal me so that I can live a few more years in the world.

The voice inside the door: the Lord Jesus is powerful. He can not only cure people's physical diseases, but also save their souls. As long as you believe in him, he will save your's soul and never die.

Liu Yin: Well, as long as Jesus can cure me, I will believe him, no matter how much it costs.

Voice inside the door: everyone will die, and there will be a trial after death. If you want to enjoy eternal life, you should accept Jesus as your savior, so as not to suffer forever after death.

Liu Yin: Believe in Jesus. Still dying, what do I believe in?

(Liu Jin knocks at the door)

Voice inside the door: Friend, why are you here?

Liu Jin: I am old and my children and grandchildren are unfilial. I want to go in and find people who believe in God. They will often come to see me and take care of my life. I also have my share of Christmas relief. After my death, many believers can come to the funeral without spending a penny. The funeral is very lively.

Door voice: the children of the Lord have the life of the Lord and the love of God. They will help you, but you should not only think about the immediate needs, but also think about the future destination of your soul. You have few days left in this world, so repent and believe in Jesus!

Liu Jin: I know it is good to believe in Jesus, but I think if I believe in the Lord, I can't be with my wife forever after I die, so I will be more lonely after I die. My son and daughter-in-law are superstitious. If they know that I believe in the Lord, they will insult me even more. Moreover, after I died, they didn't give me anything on holidays, so I was more bitter after I died than alive. I also heard that believers mainly believe in young people, and those who believe in God in their later years will be suspended in mid-air, which really makes them suffer when they are alive and when they die. I ... I ... I can't believe in God. (afraid of underground)

Narrator: Some people know the love of the Lord, but because of secular prejudice and family pressure, they have to give up the beautiful blessing of eternal life. Alas, how stupid the world is!

(Enguang comes to the door of the church)

Enguang: My family has been followers of Jesus for generations. My brothers and sisters, father, mother, grandfather and grandmother all believe in God. I heard that my grandfather's grandfather also believes in God. It's been more than ten generations. Today, every Christmas, I want to go in and have a look. (knocking at the door again)

Voice inside: Friend, why are you here?

Enguang: My family has been believers for generations. Can't I go in?

Door voice: That's good. Have you accepted Jesus yourself?

Enguang: Doesn't it mean that one person believes that the whole family will be saved? There are so many believers in my family, why should I believe them? Anyway, they got my share.

Door voice: the birth of Jesus Christ is related to everyone who accepts him as savior.

Enguang: Of course! I heard a lot from my grandmother, grandfather, father and mother. My classmates also believe in God. I know many people in the church. This is very important!

Door voice: If you don't accept Jesus as savior, you will hear more truth and know more believers. The grace of the Lord has nothing to do with you.

Enguang: Oh, by the way, last time the church registered the names of its followers, my mother wrote my name down, too. Hey! Now you can go in!

Voice inside the door: It's no use. You don't even believe it yourself. Your name is not in the book of life in heaven.

Enguang: Oh, I see! (back)

(At this moment, a sedate young man in his early thirties (Tian Li) walks up with a Bible in his hand and happens to meet Grace. )

Enguang: Hey, do you want to go to church?

Tian Li: (Nodding) Hmm.

Enguang: Are your family believers?

Tian Li: (shaking his head) No.

Enguang: Do you believe in the Lord yourself?

Tian Li: I just believe it quickly.

(EnGuang looked at Tian Li. Tian Li didn't understand what this meant, so he went into the church. )

Enguang: My ancestors couldn't get in. He just believed it. Can he come in soon? I have to investigate (just hide aside).

(Tian Li knocks at the door)

Voice inside: Friend, why are you here?

Tian Li: I have lived in this world for decades and experienced various things. My father died when I was a child, and my mother raised me, but an inevitable disaster took her life. I cried and lamented that a girl used her youth to awaken my courage in life, but soon, because my parents didn't agree, she wrote to me in tears and told me that we broke up. I was desperate several times. She said: he will not break the crushed reed, nor will he blow out the residual lamp. It was the word of the Lord that made me find the true meaning of life and gained a new life from then on. Please open the door and let me in to share the grace of the Lord.

Door voice: Come in, son. Truth belongs to those who really seek it. If you look for it, you will find it.

At this moment, the door opened and a beautiful song rang out in the hall. )

Enguang: (running out) Oh, I see! Those who truly believe in God can go in at any time. It's no use not accepting grandparents' truth. By the way, I'm going to accept Jesus as my personal savior today.

(Hurriedly knocking at the door)

Voice inside: Friend, why are you here?

Enguang: I used to think that my ancestors believed in the Lord and the grace of the Lord was mine. Now I know that only by truly accepting Jesus can I get the grace of the Lord. Lord, forgive me all my previous sins. Don't abandon me. Please open the door. I am willing to accept Jesus as my savior.

The voice inside the door: Children of the Lord, come in. This sanctuary belongs to the Lord and also to your.

The door opened and a beautiful and harmonious Christmas song floated everywhere.

Narrator: On Christmas Eve, different motives and purposes of knocking at the door and entering the church reappeared before our eyes. Dear brothers and sisters, friends, what is the purpose of our joining the church? Which of these people is it? If we want to enter the kingdom of truth and eternity, please open the door and let the Lord Jesus be born in your heart.

(end of the play)
