[to the audience] And that's how it all happened. A miracle right here in Bethlehem! And it's
because God loves us so much.
Mr. Izzy…Mr. Isaiah…was right on the mark. Jesus, Emmanuel, came to us on that quiet, holy
night. I was never the same.
The world has never been the same! And you're a better person now, Mac.
Or my name's not Mac N. Cheese!
Tell 'em what the "N" stands for, Mac.
"Noel!" Because, "Born is the King of Israel!"
And everybody said:
A---men!
[still to the audience] Now, if you stick around a little longer, I'll serve you some John the Baptist
Biscuits and Galilee Gravy!
Mmmm-mmmm!
Yep, we can feed your stomachs, but Jesus…well, He can feed your soul.
And that's the kind of food that lasts forever.
So, Mac, what do you say we all sing this last song?
That and a shekel will get you a cup of coffee.
I don't know—I would say our time together here tonight was…priceless.
Yes! And powerful like your spicy Bethlehem Buffalo Wings! So say goodnight to the people,
Polly.
Goodnight to the people!
Ya'll come back now, ya hear?!
