00:07 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. 00:18 He reminds me I can be glad, Jesus my Light. 00:23 He is the Light, yes, Jesus my Light. 00:27 In Him is no darkness, in Him is no night. 00:33 Wherever He leads me, He makes my way bright. 00:37 I'll shine for Jesus, Jesus my Light. 00:43 Hey guys, look, it's Aunt Francine. 00:44 Hi kids. Hi! Oh this is a wonderful day to be in the tree 00:50 house. Aren't you glad to be here? Yes! I'm so glad to be 00:54 here. Ooops. I am so delighted to be here and I think Ginger 00:59 is too. Oh, and we've got to welcome our kids at home. 01:04 Welcome to Jesus my Light. I'm Aunt Francine and this is little 01:08 Ginger. And we are going to talk about Jesus. And this is a 01:12 really happy time so we've got to have a lot of fun on this one 01:15 because you know what, Jesus liked having a lot of fun. And 01:20 you know what? This was a happy time and He did His very first 01:25 miracle. Do you know that? It was very special because it was 01:29 supposed to be a very happy time and you know what, I'm so glad 01:32 that Jesus was able to do some miracles. Aren't you glad? Yeah! 01:37 I'm very glad. Hey my God is so great. Aren't you glad He's so 01:43 great? Yeah! Yes, oh, let's sing that song. My God Is So Great. 01:48 You ready for the music. ♪ ♪ 02:24 That was wonderful. I enjoyed that song. Thank you, Dan, that 02:29 was so wonderful. Are you... Yes, it is fun. It's wonderful 02:34 to have fun with Jesus. Doesn't He want us to have fun? Yes! 02:38 Yes It's fun the love Jesus and to talk about Him everywhere we 02:43 go. So are you ready for a Bible story today? Yeah! How about you 02:47 at home, are you ready for our Bible story? This story is a fun 02:55 story because Jesus wanted to do something very special and He 02:58 wanted to be there for a very special occasion. How many of 03:02 you have been to weddings? Do you like weddings? 03:04 Yeah, especially the cake. 03:07 I think so, Oh you like the cake I like cake too. You know what? 03:12 Weddings are a special time but you know also birthdays are kind 03:15 of special, aren't they? Or especially when a baby is being 03:19 born. That is always a big celebration. And the cake, you 03:22 always like cake, right? Okay, I like cake and especially if it 03:25 was chocolate cake. Anyway, so Jesus was invited to a special 03:30 wedding in Cana and so He is walking there and I can only 03:35 imagine Mary, His mother, being so excited that she might be 03:39 able to see Jesus. And so she's anticipating Jesus's coming and 03:44 He's bringing His disciples and they're coming in and they're 03:48 there and Mary kind of... Just imaging what she might have done 03:54 She just kind of paused like, Wow! Jesus looked so different. 03:58 Why do you think Jesus looked different. She recognized Jesus 04:01 because of His face and His demeanor but He looked a little 04:04 different. Why do you think? What had happened earlier? 04:07 Because the Holy Spirit was in Him. 04:08 The Holy Spirit was with Him but also just beforehand, remember 04:12 when He was in the wilderness being tempted. He was probably 04:15 feeling a little weak. He was probably not as strong or as 04:19 physically fit. And so here Mary's so excited to see Jesus 04:23 and I can just see Jesus introducing the disciples and 04:26 saying oh welcome, welcome. So I can just imagine them just 04:32 sitting down at the tables and eating. Now, that's a fun time. 04:37 I'm imagining fig and grapes and you know that's one thing 04:43 that's always there...Yes Kahlil Wine. 04:44 They had wine. 04:46 And at that time it was grape juice, right? We know it was 04:50 grape because we can tell from the other verses in the Bible. 04:53 But you're right. We'll talk about that a little bit later 04:56 but you're right, it was grape juice. So it was very important 05:01 at every wedding there would be grape 05:05 juice or wine, we call it wine, but it was grape juice. And so 05:09 they had to make sure, because if you didn't have enough grape 05:12 juice, it was thought that you weren't being very respectful 05:16 and very thoughtful. So wine was very important at the weddings, 05:20 right, and you want to make sure you had enough. So you know the 05:25 story well. Do you know the story? I'm sure you remember the 05:28 story well. What happened? Do you remember what happened? 05:31 They ran out of wine or grape juice. 05:34 They ran out of grape juice. You're right. And so Mary who 05:38 was probably helping right there at the feast because it 05:40 was probably one of her relatives. She's thinking, Oh 05:44 I know who could deal with this. I know what to do. So she 05:49 probably, I'm assuming, I'm only imagining, she might have just 05:54 gone over next to Jesus and thought Hmm You know what? What 06:01 do you think she might have said 06:02 Jesus, do a miracle. 06:04 I think so. I think so. I can just see, here's one of these 06:10 servants probably. You want to come close? Come around here, 06:13 come in close. He's coming over here and He says what? 06:18 There's no wine. I am worried for the family and guests. 06:23 We have run out of wine. 06:25 Jesus, they have no wine. 06:34 Dear Woman. Why come to me? My hour has not yet come. 06:40 ♪ ♪ 06:48 Do whatever He tells you to do. 06:51 ♪ ♪ 07:00 Fill the jars with water. 07:02 ♪ ♪ 07:14 Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast. 07:17 ♪ ♪ 07:24 Grape juice. 07:26 ♪ ♪ 07:40 Bridegroom, people always serve the best wine first. Later after 07:46 the guests have been drinking well they serve the cheaper wine 07:48 but you have kept the best wine till now. 07:55 ♪ ♪ And so Jesus very calmly just 08:00 walked over the servants, I'm imagining, and said, Fill 08:04 up those six jars. And so you can imagine...Do you know how 08:08 heavy those jars must have been? They must have been really heavy 08:12 because they were like 30 gallons of grape juice but in 08:18 this case it was what? Water! You know that so well. And so 08:22 here I can just imagine him taking the jars out and they're 08:26 going to the well and they're having to fill it up. And so 08:30 they bring them back there and then Jesus says what? What does 08:34 Jesus tell them to do? 08:36 Take it to the person who's in charge or the host. 08:40 Yes and He says go ahead and give it. And I can just see 08:44 their eyes like ah, what are you talking about. Are you sure 08:49 about that. And so yes. And so he sends it and what happens 08:55 next? 08:56 They take it to him and he tastes it and he says 08:59 this is the best wine. 09:00 It is the best wine and it was wonderful. And he said, Oh 09:04 that's so sweet. You know, when we know who Jesus is, it's so 09:09 sweet. We want more of his love don't we? Yeah. He can do 09:12 anything in our lives no matter what we do. Jesus wants to be 09:18 the sweetest thing in our lives. I want Him to live for us. You 09:22 know, we talked about grape juice, right? Did you know that 09:29 those old wine sacks, you know the wine sacks that they use. We 09:33 don't know if it was goat skin or what but they could even last 09:36 a whole year without being fermented. That's kind of 09:40 interesting and we know that Jesus on the cross didn't want 09:44 want any wine, right? So we know that it wasn't wine but we know 09:50 that it was grape juice. Now grape juice has some good 09:53 qualities. Oh! What's Ginger doing with our grapes? I think 09:56 she's having fun with our craft grapes here. She's having fun 10:00 but that's okay. You know grape juice is really good for our 10:04 stomach and so if you have an upset stomach sometimes they say 10:06 oh go ahead and have some grape juice. 10:09 And if you have constipation it can make you use the restroom. 10:14 Oh, it might help you have a bowel movement. You're right. 10:15 So grape juice is really good for us. So I know Jesus wanted 10:20 to talk about those things. And you know, I'm thinking that 10:26 sometimes we don't have much to bring to Jesus. What did He ask 10:30 them to bring? Water, right? And yet Jesus was able to do 10:37 something very special. When we do what Jesus wants us to do and 10:40 just follow directions, life goes a lot smoother, don't you 10:45 think. Yes, Kahlil. 10:47 I also read the story where Jesus fed 5000 people with five 10:51 loaves and two fishes. 10:53 You're right. Everything is so much better when Jesus is 10:55 involved and He likes having a big party. Don't you think so? 11:01 I love having grape juice and you know enjoy that time, right? 11:06 Enjoy having some grape juice. So do you think you're ready for 11:10 some questions? Yeah! How about you at home? Are you ready for 11:14 some questions. I am going to pull out my questions. What is a 11:21 miracle? Can it be explained by nature and science. B - It 11:25 cannot be explained by scientific law or nature; or, C- 11:30 A trick someone plays. What do you think a miracle is? That's 11:37 kind of a hard one but you're right if you said B - Cannot be 11:41 explained by science or law or nature, you're correct. Only God 11:46 can help perform those miracles through Jesus. So, can I do a 11:51 miracle? No. But it's God who can do those things. So what is 11:56 the first miracle performed when He began His ministry? Was it 12:01 A - Healing a blind man; B - Changing water into grape juice; 12:06 or C - A boatload of fish? B! B. I know you got that one at 12:13 home, right? And how about the third question: Did you catch 12:17 this one? How many jars were filled? Woo. A - Three; B - Six; 12:25 or C - Ten? What did you get? Did you say six? You are correct 12:36 It was six jars. You know, we can have Jesus fill our hearts 12:41 and fill our lives with a new Spirit that is so much sweeter 12:45 than anything, we can talk about. Aren't you willing to share 12:48 about Jesus. Yeah!. You know what's interesting is that Jesus 12:53 went back to where He always went. People were saying who did 12:56 this miracle, who did this miracle? And where was Jesus at 13:00 that point? You're right. Usually, He was gone. He was out 13:05 probably on the mountainside. What was He doing, again? 13:08 Praying! Pray, what he always loved to do. Talking to His 13:13 heavenly Father. And you know that reminds me. We want to take 13:17 time to spend with God because life is much sweeter with Jesus. 13:23 Don't you want to have Jesus in your heart and live for Him each 13:28 day and let your light shine for Him. I hope you'll join us 13:33 to the next time on Jesus my Light. 13:36 ♪ ♪ |
