Jesus my Light. 00:41 Here comes Aunt Francine. 00:44 Hi kids. I'm so glad to see you. How are you? Hi Ben. We're glad 00:51 to see you. I always enjoy your music. Thank you. Thank you that 00:57 you can take some time here to be with us. Absolutely. I'm so 01:00 delighted that we're here learning about Jesus. This is 01:03 Jesus My Light, I'm Aunt Francine and this is Little 01:07 Ginger. You know there's some people that seem like they go 01:11 around and they don't have the vision of Christ. Hmm. Sometimes 01:16 we need new eyes to see things in a different perspective 01:20 which reminds me of another song that we could sing: 01:23 Open the Eyes of My Heart. 01:25 Sounds good. 01:26 Do we need to open the eyes of our heart? Yeah! Let's sing it 01:29 together. 01:31 ♪ ♪ 02:44 Oh I do want to see Jesus some day. I'm so looking forward to 02:47 that. Are you kids ready at home for another Bible story? Yeah! 02:53 Yes, I hope so. Let's get ready. 02:57 ♪ ♪ 03:01 Jesus has been healing everyone that came to Him. He didn't 03:05 want to deny anyone. And you know He had just finished healing 03:09 a girl, more like raising a girl from the dead. And so He was 03:14 walking to Capernaum and there in Capernaum some men were 03:18 following Him. And you know what it was as if Jesus was ignoring 03:23 them. Have you ever heard of Jesus ignoring someone? No, no. 03:28 Why would Jesus do that? You know why. I believe that it's 03:34 possible that the Pharisees were trying to cause Him trouble. 03:38 And so Jesus was trying to pretend that He was ignoring 03:43 them but He wasn't really ignoring them because He knew 03:45 what they would do right? Because Jesus knows everything. 03:48 Everything about us. So they we're following Jesus regardless 03:52 that Jesus didn't even turn around. So when they spent some 03:57 time...Again Jesus wanted to show His love for them. And you 04:00 know He talked about people that are spiritually blind. Are you 04:05 blind sometimes. Sometimes we don't see things that your 04:08 parents see. Have you noticed that? Yeah, sometimes your 04:12 parents know more things than we do. And you know when we tell 04:17 others we want to know when to talk and when not to talk. Is 04:21 that hard sometimes? Yeah. Some of us...How many of you like to 04:25 talk all the time and some of us don't want to say a word at all. 04:30 Sometimes that's okay. Because you know, Jesus can tell us when 04:36 we should be talking and when it's not a good time to talk. 04:39 Can you imagine that? Sometimes we need to know when to talk and 04:43 when to be silent. So Jesus was spending time with these people 04:47 and these Pharisees wanted to cause a lot of trouble. And so 04:51 when they were there with Jesus they loved to be with Jesus. And 04:54 you know let's go to our Bible pictures. Would you like to see 04:58 our Bible pictures. Yeah! ♪ ♪ 05:08 And let's see our Bible pictures (Indistinct chatter.) Here we go 05:13 These are pictures that I love to see. See here. They're 05:16 following Jesus. ♪ ♪ 05:40 Son of David, Son of David. Have mercy on us Lord. 05:43 Do you believe that I am able to do this? 05:48 Yes Lord, Of course, Lord. 05:51 According to your faith let it be to you. 05:53 ♪ ♪ 06:04 See that no one knows it. 06:08 Thank you, Thank you. Thank you, Thank you. 06:12 And now they have new sight. They have a new way of looking 06:17 at things. Now I don't know about you but do you think these 06:21 people were happy? Um-huh. Yeah. It was wonderful and so they 06:25 were full of joy. And so you know, I don't know if you know 06:27 if you know something about some people that are blind. Did you 06:33 know that sometimes blind people (You can stay here, you can stay 06:37 here) That sometimes there are blind people okay and they don't 06:43 see very well and yet they use some other senses. What else can 06:47 you use. If you can't see what are your other four senses. 06:50 Your ears, your touch, what else Your smell and your taste. Taste 06:59 you're right. So there's a story about a man that was in a tall 07:06 building and he had his seeing eye dog with him. And you know 07:10 what happened? Something very interesting happened. There was 07:15 a big fire in this building and everybody couldn't see where to 07:20 go because the smoke was so thick. No one knew where to go. 07:24 But you know what between the man and the dog they were able 07:29 to lead some people out from that fiery furnace. Can you 07:33 imagine that, that fiery building. And so they were able 07:37 to use their other senses so we don't want to be blinded by 07:42 certain things. We want to be able to see through other senses 07:46 know the Bible talks about being spiritually blind. Do you want 07:51 to be spiritually blind? Mm-mmm. No way. I don't want to be 07:55 spiritually blind. You know there's some animals in nature 07:59 that are somewhat blind. Do you know what animal...Whoa let me 08:06 go back to my picture here. What is it? This is a mole and you 08:12 know moles are born blind. Yeah sometimes kittens or puppies 08:17 were born blind but you know what. They use their other 08:19 senses and what do you think these moles eat? 08:21 They eat worms. 08:23 They eat worms and grubs and they almost eat between 70 to 08:28 100 percent of their body weight each day. They're constantly 08:32 eating under the ground. Now do you think they have good 08:35 eyesight when they go up on top of the ground? Un-hmm. No they 08:40 don't have a good eyesight at all because they're going 08:42 through all over the place. And you know sometimes we make a 08:48 mess of things because we don't see clearly. How can we see 08:52 clearly? God's help. With God's help. What do we need to do? 08:56 (Indistinct chatter) Pray about it because you know what 08:59 sometimes we look with what we can see and we forget about the 09:04 things that we cannot see. What are some things that we cannot 09:07 see? We talked about some on some on some other programs, but 09:11 what are some things that we cannot see but we know are there 09:15 Yes, Rick. Um, God. God. We know God is there. How do we know God 09:20 is there? 09:21 Because we talk to Him every day 09:23 We talk to Him each day, but how do we know that He's there? 09:26 His word. By His word. And you know what? Through your life 09:30 Jesus is constantly and God is constantly working on us, right? 09:34 And we can see evidence of it just like we can see the 09:37 evidence of the Holy Spirit right? You're right. So I don't 09:41 want to be spiritually blind. I want to be able to see with new 09:45 eyes. Don't you want to see? Some of us need glasses, right? 09:48 What happens when you take off your glasses? Can you see much? 09:52 Wow! I can't see much if I'm not wearing contacts or glasses. 09:56 But you know what, Jesus wants us to be able to see. And you 10:03 know what, there's lots of things that Jesus wants us to do 10:04 and it seemed like Satan was constantly busy. And that's why 10:07 Jesus was going into the building. Did you see that? 10:11 Remember the story? Because Jesus was going into the 10:15 building because so many Pharisees were there trying to 10:19 cause trouble for Jesus. But He knew that and He didn't want His 10:25 ministry to be cut short. So sometimes we need to know when 10:29 to speak up, right, when to say something and when not to talk. 10:33 And so Jesus knew their hearts and knew that they would come 10:37 And you know Jesus has all the wisdom in the world. Don't you 10:40 want His wisdom. Yes. I want Jesus to live for us. You know 10:45 we need to find ways that we can witness for Jesus. I don't want 10:49 be like the mole that eats a lot and lot and lot. But I want to 10:54 have new eyesight with Jesus. When we help others we should 11:00 be able to know when it's good to help without them asking. 11:07 How do you know when somebody needs help? 11:09 Right when they fall down. 11:11 When they fall down. Oh let me help you. You're right. You know 11:15 sometimes when we ask Jesus early in the morning. We can say 11:19 Jesus I need to know how to help someone today. Have you ever 11:22 prayed that prayer before. That's a hard prayer sometimes 11:26 because you know what when I say Lord can you empty all of me and 11:30 let it be of you. Sometimes Jesus puts things in his path 11:36 just like Satan was very often trying to keep Jesus busy and 11:40 get you side tracked. Do you think he's trying to get you 11:43 sidetracked too? Uh-huh. He is He's constantly getting you side 11:46 tracked but you know what when you keep your eyes fixed on His 11:50 word okay, and write it into your heart you know that you can 11:55 have new eyesight. Not physical eyesight but spiritual eyesight. 12:00 Are you folks ready for some questions? Yeah! Oh I'm glad 12:05 you're so excited. What does blasphemy mean? Now we know that 12:11 these Pharisees were saying Oh! It mean... 12:14 It means to take God's name in vain. 12:18 Taking God's name in vain. Or _. Okay. How about let's 12:23 give you some questions? Are you ready for some questions? It 12:25 says: How about singing or praises; B - Insulting or 12:31 disrespecting God's character; or C - Worshiping God. Which one 12:36 do you think it is? If you said B, you're correct. Number two: 12:41 What did the two blind men say to Jesus? A - Son of David have 12:47 mercy on us; B - Jesus heal us! or C - Son of God wait for us! 12:54 Did you get it at home? If you got A you're right. How about 13:00 question number three: Why do you think that Jesus told them 13:04 "see that no one knows it"? Ooo. That's a tough one. Was it 13:09 A - To test the men; B - So the men would tell everyone; or 13:15 C - Because it would make it harder to share about God's love 13:18 Now this one's a tricky one. Do you know what it is? I thought 13:23 it would be C but really I think it's all of them. You see the 13:26 more we spend time with God the more clearly we can see His will 13:31 for us. I hope you can join us for another Jesus My Light. 13:36 ♪ ♪ |
