Object:
Edith Burns lived in San Antonio, and she always introduced herself this way: "Hello, my
name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" When Edith was hospitalized and close
to death, she asked her doctor to put her in a room with a non-Christian so she could
share her faith. Everybody at the hospital loved Edith, but the head nurse, Phyllis Cross,
was not impressed. Phyllis rejected all of Edith's comments that Edith was praying for
her, until one day Phyllis asked Edith, "How come you ask others if they believe in
Easter, but you never ask me?" That day, Edith told Phyllis all about Christ, and Phyllis
gave her life to Jesus.
A few days later, on Easter Sunday, Phyllis went to take some flowers to Edith, but she had died during the night. Phyllis walked out of the room and sat down next to a few student nurses. She said, "Hi. My name is Phyllis Cross. Do you believe in Easter?"
