00:01 ♪ ♪
00:06 When my heart begins to fear, He is my Light. 00:09 I can smile for He is near, Jesus my Light. 00:14 When I'm blue and feeling sad, He is my Light. 00:20 He reminds me I can be glad, Jesus my Light. 00:23 He is the Light, yes, Jesus my Light 00:28 In Him is no darkness, in Him is no night. 00:32 Wherever He leads me, He makes my way bright. 00:37 I'll shine for Jesus, Jesus my Light. 00:43 Hey, here comes Aunt Francine Hi 00:46 Hi kids, Oh it's so wonderful to be in this tree house. 00:52 Thank you for closing that door How are you today? Oh yay. 00:58 I like that. I'm so excited to be here. And we need to welcome 01:03 our kids at home. Welcome to Jesus my Light. We want to learn 01:08 about Jesus. I'm Aunt Francine and this is little Ginger. 01:12 You know, Jesus had an interesting personality. 01:15 I wish I could have been there to see Him. Because you know 01:18 what? Even when we think somebody gets angry, do you see 01:21 them get all red in the face? Sometimes people get it, but you 01:25 know what, even when Jesus was disappointed in how people were 01:29 treating His house, the children loved to be with Jesus. Don't 01:35 you want to be with Jesus? Yes! Jesus loves all the children. 01:38 Everyone of us. That makes me think of a particular song. 01:43 Do you want to sing it with us? Which song shall we sing? 01:45 Jesus Loves the Little Children. 01:47 I agree. Let's sing that song. 01:49 All right. ♪ ♪ 02:27 Oh, I'm so glad that Jesus loves each one of us. Each one of you 02:31 is very special to Jesus. I'm so glad that He came to us. Thank 02:37 you for singing for that. Are you ready for our Bible story? 02:40 Yes! Yeah! How about you at home, are you 02:43 ready for our Bible story? 02:46 So it was about the Passover time and Jesus was doing what He 02:51 normally did in going right to the temple. Do you like to go to 02:55 church and pray? Yeah! Yes! So Jesus was participating right 03:00 there at the temple and possibly giving His half a shekel. Now 03:05 a half a shekel was what the priests required at the temple. 03:09 Now does that sound right? They had to exchange a shekel that 03:14 they would normally buy things with with a temple shekel. 03:18 So they would switch that out and you know what? What the 03:22 priests would do sometimes? When they would switch the money they 03:26 would charge extra. Would that be fair? No! That wasn't fair at 03:30 all. And so what they decided. They would put it in and Jesus 03:34 knew that and He saw all these poor people and many of them 03:39 would go the priests and say please, please, I want the 03:43 blessings from God. And the priest would say, Oh go away. 03:47 And so when Jesus was coming to the temple, He had that 03:51 compassionate look on everyone's face. And everybody comes in and 03:55 I can just see Jesus there and He's seeing all of that and He's 04:00 seeing all of the commotion. Were they doing what they were 04:03 supposed to be doing in the temple? No! No, they weren't 04:07 doing what they were supposed to be doing. And so Jesus, I assume 04:11 if He was angry it was a good kind of angry. Have you ever 04:16 been angry for a good reason. Yes! Ooo and I can see Jesus and 04:23 He said this is not about my Father's business. And so he 04:27 decided...what did He do? He grabbed a coil and I can see 04:31 the look and it was as if He was piercing at everyone's eyes. 04:36 They felt it and especially the priests. Now normally the 04:42 priests would have said something about it and said, 04:44 Whoo, stop. But there was something about Jesus that they 04:49 recognized. He had some authority. Hmm. Interesting. 04:53 I can only imagine what that was like. And so you know what they 04:57 did? They would go there and people would just all of a 05:02 sudden... Do you know what Jesus did. What did He do? 05:04 He knocked the tables over. 05:06 He knocked over all the tables. And then what happened next. 05:10 He allowed the animals out. 05:12 Well I'm assuming the animals walked out. You're right. And it 05:15 was interesting. He had this kind of-We need to be about our 05:20 Father's business. And they weren't treating the temple the 05:23 right way. Where should we be when we're worshiping God? 05:27 In the temple, right? In the church. Do you like going to 05:30 church? We don't want to do things at church that shouldn't 05:34 be what we should be doing. We should be praising God. And so I 05:38 can imagine just at that time... You know there's sometimes where 05:42 we have to clean things out. We call it the cleansing of the 05:46 temple sometimes. And when Jesus was cleansing the temple, we say 05:50 cleansing the temple, was He really cleaning it out? No. They 05:55 had to clean it within their hearts. But you know what's 05:57 interesting? Just afterward, you know who comes running to Jesus? 06:01 His disciples. 06:03 I would say it's His disciples. But even more precious than that 06:08 Do you know what's really special to Jesus. Children. 06:11 You're right, children. And you know even though Jesus looked 06:16 like He might have been angry for the right reason, they were 06:19 guilty and that's why they were scared. And what did they do? 06:21 They fled. And they wanted to flee. But you know what, the 06:27 children, where did they go? They ran toward Jesus. You know 06:32 they wanted to be blessed by Jesus. Don't you want to be 06:35 blessed by Jesus? Yes! Yeah! I sure want to be blessed by Jesus 06:36 Yes! Yeah! I sure want to be blessed by Jesus. You know I 06:41 think that when we have the right heart with others we can 06:45 have a clean heart and clean up. Do you know that there's some 06:50 other things that we need to clean up? You know there's one 06:53 thing about Aunt Francine. Aunt Francine likes chocolate and if 07:00 I get it as a gift and let's say somebody gave me this chocolate 07:06 and I like chocolate. Now if this is sitting in my house you 07:10 know what happens? It doesn't last very long. What do you 07:15 think I have to do with this box of chocolate when I'm ready to 07:19 go...because it's always there tempting me. What do I have to 07:23 do? Eat it? Eat it! Hide it? Oh hide it! But if I hide it I know 07:28 where it is. Is that going to help? You know what I like to do 07:31 I, first of all, say thank you for the gift. But you sometimes when 07:36 it's something really sweet or something nice, I like to share 07:39 it. And so maybe a little bit later we can share it. Would you 07:43 like to have some chocolate? Okay, how many of you would like 07:47 to have chocolate? Yeah, we'll put it here. Ginger's ready to 07:50 have chocolate. But you know what? I have to clean up 07:54 sometimes the things that are... Because if I eat it all at once 07:58 what's going to happen? You get sick. I might just get sick and 08:03 that wouldn't be a good thing. And then I might not feel so 08:06 good. But you know what? We want to have lots of Jesus don't we? 08:10 So I need to get rid of different things. Would you 08:14 like to see some Bible scenes. Yeah! Oh I would like to see 08:18 Jesus and His Bible scene and see what that was like. Because 08:23 here, woop let's see, here is Jesus. Oh look at all the 08:29 shekels. Noisy crowd. 08:40 Take these things away. Do not make my Father's house a house 08:47 of merchandise. 08:49 It is written in the scriptures, my strong devotion 08:53 to your temple will destroy you. This was prophesied. 09:00 Show us a miracle as a sign from God. Prove that you have the 09:04 right to do these things. 09:07 Bring this temple down and in three days I will raise it up. 09:10 It has taken us 46 years to build this temple and you think 09:17 you can rebuild it in three days 09:21 Fear not for I will deliver you. You will glorify my name and 09:30 that's why I came. 09:32 I love you, Jesus. 09:34 I love you too. 09:35 You know there's some animals that I know about. Do you know 09:40 what kind of animals like to clean their home too. Have you 09:44 heard of the little ant? Yeah! Sometimes ants do some 09:50 particular things and let me show you. You can stay here. 09:53 And I'm going to show you something very particular about 09:57 some ants. Now how many-body parts does the ant have? Three? 10:02 Three-body parts. You're right. It has three body parts. And you 10:06 know actually, they go to the restroom in a certain place and 10:10 they put the food in a different place. They want to clean out 10:12 their home. Do you need to sometimes clean out what's not 10:17 necessary in your life? Sometimes you know what I have 10:21 to do? I actually take time on Sabbath and I don't even turn on 10:28 my cell phone. Now sometimes I watch the Sabbath program 10:34 because you know sometimes you can't go or you're sick or 10:39 something. I might watch the program on TV. But for the most 10:44 part I try to turn off my electronics because you know 10:47 what? I want to be focused on whom? Jesus. Who do we want to 10:52 clean our heart and to keep everything clean? God. I do. I'm 10:56 so glad that He wants us to be clean. So yes we want to have 11:02 the Spirit of Jesus, don't you? Yes! Yeah! I do. And you know 11:07 sometimes we have to have a prayer that we want Jesus to 11:13 clean our heart and to take away what might distract us from 11:15 what's pure, right? Do you think you're ready for some questions? 11:19 Yes! Are you sure you're ready for some questions? Yeah! Yes! 11:25 Okay. Let's see. Do you know what the coin was called in the 11:31 temple? Now hold on. Is it A - a pound, B - a mite, or C - a 11:39 Shekel. C! Did you get it right at home? Oh, I'm sure you did. 11:43 How many years did it take for the temple to be built? Was it 11:49 A - 36 years; B - 46 years or C - 56 years? B! Ohhh you're 12:01 right. B. If you said it at home you've got it. Jesus said 12:06 "Destroy this temple" and in how many days will I raise it up? 12:09 Was it A - 3 days; B - 7 days; or 10 days. C - 10 days. How 12:19 many days did Jesus say he would raise it up. A! A, you're right. 12:25 Three days Jesus would raise it up. What was He talking about 12:28 when He said He would raise it up? Himself. Himself, and when 12:33 would that happen? 12:34 Um, when He was buried. 12:38 After He was buried and how many days did it take Him? Three! It 12:42 only took Him three days. And you're right. These are promises 12:47 and Jesus wants to clean out our hearts and take out what we need 12:50 to get rid of. So is there something you can do that might 12:57 need a little cleaning and a little bit more of Jesus? 13:02 Yeah. You like being in the tree house? I sure like being in the 13:06 treehouse. And I'm so glad that you're joining us because we 13:10 want to shine for Jesus, don't we? Yeah! And Jesus can take out 13:14 whatever is distracting us and He is willing to help us. All we 13:18 have to do is ask Him, right? Yeah! Yes! Yes, so I hope you 13:23 will take the time to do that right? Would you take the time 13:26 at home to do that? Find something that you can work on 13:30 that you can shine for Jesus and clean out those things that 13:33 aren't pure. Thank you for joining us until next time at 13:38 Jesus my Light. 13:39 ♪ ♪ |
