Do you know where He could 03:09 go when He was 12 years old? The temple. The temple. Now it's 03:13 possible that He was part of a synagogue and would know a 03:16 little bit about the scriptures. And would even participate but 03:19 in the temple in Jerusalem which was about 20 miles away he was 03:27 excited to go and travel. Do you like going on a trip? Yeah 03:30 chorus. So for years Jesus was was anticipating that He would 03:34 be going to the temple and He would participate. But you know 03:38 what's interesting about Jesus? I really like Jesus for one 03:41 special reason. When He was there and He would travel with 03:44 the caravan and they would all go there you know where Jesus 03:48 was often found? Everybody was participating and now He could 03:51 go to the temple. And when He's there talking; you know the 03:56 story well, don't you? You know the story very well. He's 03:58 talking with what, whom? The priests. The priests and He is 04:02 so excited. But you know what? Jesus didn't act like He knew it 04:05 all. That's not Jesus. You know what He did? What sometimes is 04:09 really good to do is to ask questions. Have you ever asked a 04:13 question knowing the answer? Yeah chorus. Sometimes that's 04:17 less threatening. Sometimes if you're really good you can ask a 04:21 question and so that's exactly what Jesus was doing. He would 04:24 go and He was talking to the priests but also he was asking 04:28 them questions and in that way it was nonthreatening to the 04:32 priests and they realized what? He knew a lot about the 04:35 scriptures, didn't He? Yeah. He really knew a lot about it. So 04:40 you know the story very well. What was happening? It was on 04:44 the eighth day and what was happening to His family? 04:47 They were leaving Him. 04:49 They were leaving and Mary thought Jesus was with Joseph 04:53 or with other family members or some cousins or his brothers. 04:56 And Joseph thought that Mary was with Him and they were just 05:00 traveling and they took a whole day's trip. Have your parents 05:04 left you for a whole day all by yourself. No. Maybe Ricardo but 05:09 not yet I hope not 05:11 because we want to have parents with us. But you know 05:14 what? What was Jesus doing? 05:16 He was asking questions. 05:20 He was asking questions and talking about what? The Bible. 05:25 The special Bible. You're right. He wanted to know more about it 05:29 and so He was asking. When He saw the lamb being offered 05:35 possibly in the morning more and more He was filled with the Holy 05:39 Spirit that He might be the Lamb of God. No, I think that He knew 05:43 He was going to be the Lamb of God. He was understanding the 05:47 scripture and my goodness, you know, I would have love to have 05:51 been there. Wouldn't you have loved to be there. Yeah chorus. 05:54 Shall we look in our picture book and see what that might 05:56 have been like. Yeah. I would like to see a picture book and 06:00 let's see if we can open up our picture book and find the story 06:07 of Jesus. Now you know the story very well. Do you think Mary and 06:11 Joseph slept that night? 06:13 Maybe not. 06:15 I don't think so. When they discovered that Jesus wasn't 06:18 with them. Oh no! They were so fearful. I don't think they 06:21 could sleep a wink. Why? 06:23 Because they were scared. 06:25 They were scared. And not only that, do you remember the story? 06:28 It was Herod's son that was ruling at that time and you know 06:32 what? They were still fearful that his son might try to kill 06:37 Jesus. And so, yes, they didn't sleep much that night and I can 06:40 imagine how quickly they had to travel back. And, you know, this 06:45 was a long day and then they were looking all over in 06:48 Jerusalem. And did they find Jesus? No chorus. They couldn't 06:52 find Him. Huge sigh. You know the story well, right. They 06:57 finally, hear Jesus and they go around the corner and what 06:59 happens? They find... You're right. Here is Joseph and he's 07:05 looking. Do you want to come over and come close? Yeah, see 07:11 he's looking over here and this is a priest and he's looking and 07:14 he's saying Wow He really knows. Oh I would like to imagine what 07:19 that was like to have Jesus there. The Savior of Israel will 07:26 not only save the people, 07:27 but he will also take the sins of all and He 07:30 will be like the lamb. Spoken by the prophet Isaiah. 07:35 Son, Why have you done this to us. You father and I have sought 07:38 you anxiously. 07:40 Why were you looking for me? Don't you know I must be in my 07:43 Father's house. Parents let the boy stay with us. We would be 07:47 happy to school Him in the ways of the scriptures and learn to 07:51 be with the rabbis. He would be an asset because He knows so 07:54 much of the scriptures and their interpretation. 07:56 Well it seems He knows as much of the scripture as you do so 08:00 why would He need to learn from you? Thank you for the offer but 08:04 it is God who is instructing Jesus as He is learning far more 08:08 than you would ever be able to teach him. 08:11 No wonder Jesus was surprised. After all what was he doing? 08:15 He was being about His business. Would your parents know where 08:18 where you'd be? Would they know where to find you? He was 08:23 surprised because they should have known where Jesus was. 08:26 It was obvious. He would always be where he could learn more 08:30 about God as often as He could. If He wasn't helping somebody 08:34 that is exactly what he wanted to do. And you know that reminds 08:38 me of some other interesting animals. Do you know some 08:42 animals that kind of... Do you ever like to catch fireflies? 08:46 Yeah. Yeah, don't they Light up? Do you like catching them? Yes. 08:52 I like catching them and then letting them go. But you know 08:56 what, there's another deep, deep animal in the ocean. Do you know 09:01 what that is? Jellyfish? You're right, a jellyfish. And did you 09:05 that jellyfish, almost 50 percent of them are 09:10 bioluminescent. Can you say that word. Bioluminescent. And that 09:14 means that they can glow in the very deep, deep ocean. Would you 09:19 like to see some? Come on close Yeah, chorus. Here's some 09:23 bioluminescent jellyfish and they like to shine in the very 09:28 dark and you know what? They are 85 percent full of water. 09:33 Wow, chorus. That's real interesting. You know what they 09:36 like to eat? Other animals. Yeah And shrimp and fish. You're 09:42 right. They like to eat those different things and you know 09:44 what's interesting about them too? I don't know but I've 09:48 petted some on the top. Not bioluminescent but sometimes you 09:52 can touch jellyfish but you have to be very careful, so know what 09:55 you're doing. But I like that they scare their prey by shining 09:59 their Light. What happens when we shine our Light for Jesus? 10:02 We teach others about God. 10:04 You're right. 10:05 And Satan runs away from us. 10:07 You're right. Satan runs away from us and that's what we want 10:08 to do. The more we spend time with God and His word we chase 10:14 Satan away. Aren't you glad for that? Yeah chorus. We too can 10:18 shine our Light. Is this something that you can do at 10:22 home or in your community that you can shine for Jesus. 10:25 You can pray, read your Bible. 10:27 Read you Bible. 10:29 Find out about God. 10:30 You're right. How can you tell others about God. Give me an 10:32 example of that. 10:33 You can go to like people's houses and just 10:35 like talk about the good news of Jesus. 10:37 You're right. When I was a teacher you know what I used to 10:40 like to do? I used to like having an adopted grandparent. 10:44 Do you have somebody that you know in your church or community 10:47 that would love to have somebody just like you spending time with 10:51 them? I think so. Think of some grandparent that you could 10:54 spend... And here's some kids helping with their grandparent 10:58 and looking back. Look at that. They're making some bread. We 11:01 can shine for Jesus. Are you ready for some questions? 11:04 Yeah chorus. You were paying attention. Let's see if you are 11:10 ready to learn these questions. 11:18 Ah you already got the answer. Twelve years old. You're right. 11:23 How about city was Jesus at the time when he was going to 11:31 Jerusalem, what city did he come from? Nazareth chorus. What was 11:40 Nazareth called? A wicked city. It was wicked as wicked and they 11:46 thought nothing good could come from Nazareth. But where did 11:48 Jesus come from. Nazareth chorus You're right. So even if we live 11:52 in where there's a lot of sin and we can still shine our Light 11:54 for others, right? All right here's the third question. Okay 11:58 let me do my sign language on this one. Do you know what the 12:03 Passover represented? Was it A: when the angel passed over the 12:10 door post. A. B: Moses parted the sea or C: When the 12:17 Israelites left Egypt. 12:19 A chorus. You're right. When the angel passed over. That's when 12:23 they wanted to celebrate and thank Jesus, thank God, I should 12:28 say, thank God for passing over and sparing their lives. I'm so 12:33 thankful that we can live for Jesus. Aren't you? Yeah chorus. 12:36 And I hope you find some kind of person that you can shine your 12:40 light whether it's a grandparent in your community or in your 12:45 neighbor. Sometimes my daughter likes to go to a neighbor close 12:49 by. Now we don't have a lot of time but we can bring... If you 12:52 find our website at 3ABNKids.tv you can find some crafts too. 12:58 Are you ready to make some bioluminescent jellyfish? 13:02 Yeah, chorus. Yes. So we're excited. I hope that you will 13:07 take time to learn about Jesus and find His love. Would you 13:11 please get out the craft, the bioluminescent jellyfish. 13:15 I would like us to make it. I hope that you're willing to 13:18 shine for Jesus in everything that you do because Jesus can 13:23 use you on the smallest things. Even like these wonderful 13:26 jellyfish. You can find them at 3ABNKids.tv Right? Yeah chorus. 13:32 So look for them and keep shining for Jesus. 13:35 ♪ ♪ |
