00:00:02.13\00:00:05.23
When my heart begins
to fear He is my Light.
00:00:05.27\00:00:10.71
I can smile for He
is near. Jesus my Light.
00:00:10.74\00:00:15.14
When I'm feeling
sad, He is my Light.
00:00:15.18\00:00:18.81
He reminds me I can
be glad, Jesus, my Light.
00:00:18.85\00:00:23.32
He is the light,
Yes Jesus my Light.
00:00:23.39\00:00:27.89
In Him is no
darkness, In Him is no night.
00:00:27.92\00:00:32.53
Wherever He leads me,
He makes my way bright.
00:00:32.56\00:00:37.60
I'll shine for
Jesus, Jesus my Light.
00:00:37.63\00:00:43.41
Here's Aunt Francine.
00:00:43.44\00:00:44.77
Hi kids. I'm so glad to be
here in the tree house. Yaaaay.
00:00:44.81\00:00:52.08
Well I think you
for closing that door.
00:00:52.11\00:00:54.78
It's no problem.
00:00:54.82\00:00:56.15
Aaah. I am so excited to see
you Come on over here Kalil. I'd
00:00:56.18\00:01:00.89
like to have you. I like having
all of you here at the tree
00:01:00.96\00:01:04.33
house. Is that enough room? Yes.
Oh I'm so glad. Hey, we need to
00:01:04.36\00:01:09.00
welcome the kids at home. Would
you like to say Welcome kids?
00:01:09.03\00:01:12.90
This is Jesus My Light. And I'm
Aunt Francine and this is little
00:01:12.93\00:01:16.71
Ginger and we are so delighted
that you are coming with us in
00:01:16.74\00:01:20.38
our tree house. We want to know
a little bit more about Jesus
00:01:20.41\00:01:24.05
and His character. Do you
know that He likes spending time
00:01:24.08\00:01:27.85
early in the morning and in the
evening and do you know what He
00:01:27.88\00:01:31.99
liked to do in Nazareth. He
would often go up the mountains
00:01:32.02\00:01:37.83
and He would love to talk to His
heavenly Father. And He would
00:01:37.86\00:01:40.63
study the scriptures every once
in a while and let His light
00:01:40.70\00:01:45.10
shine. You know that reminds me
of a song that says Thy Word Is
00:01:45.13\00:01:49.64
A Lamp Unto My Path. Do you know
that song? Do you really know it
00:01:49.67\00:01:54.61
Would you like to sing it? Shall
we ask Ben to play it for us?
00:01:54.64\00:01:57.65
Play it Ben. Yaaay.
00:01:57.68\00:01:59.65
Will you sing it with us?
00:01:59.68\00:02:06.39
Oh I'm so glad that God wants
to be the light of each of our
00:03:07.62\00:03:12.92
paths. Yeah! You know He
would spend lots of time there.
00:03:12.95\00:03:15.32
Have you ever been where it's
really, really dark and you were
00:03:15.36\00:03:20.70
scared. Yes, yes. Yes. You
haven't. You're lucky. Can I
00:03:20.73\00:03:25.47
tell you a quick part of a story
here. I was in Michigan and we
00:03:25.60\00:03:29.77
had to walk about a half a mile
and we forgot our flashlight and
00:03:29.80\00:03:33.88
it's midnight. We had just
helped bake a whole bunch of
00:03:33.91\00:03:37.65
bread for a camp and we had
to walk to our cabin. And we
00:03:37.68\00:03:42.08
couldn't see anything. And
what do you think we had to do?
00:03:42.12\00:03:44.32
Pray. You're right, that's
exactly what we did. And then
00:03:44.35\00:03:48.19
once we were really quiet
and listening to God's voice we
00:03:48.22\00:03:53.63
could pay attention after we
said Amen we heard the water and
00:03:53.70\00:03:59.30
we could hear it and we kind of
knew what path we needed to go.
00:03:59.33\00:04:02.77
And it's only because we were
quiet and listening to God's
00:04:02.80\00:04:07.28
Word. Wouldn't you like to have
that? Yeah, yeah. You know what,
00:04:07.31\00:04:10.98
hey, before we go to our Bible
story Kalil will you help us get
00:04:11.01\00:04:15.75
a, let's see if there's any mail
I want to know if we got any
00:04:15.78\00:04:19.55
mail lately. I haven't
checked the mail lately.
00:04:19.59\00:04:22.09
We got some.
00:04:22.12\00:04:23.93
Do we? Yaaay. I love having mail
Do you like having mail? Yeah.
00:04:23.96\00:04:28.96
Ooooh. Oh, Ginger's excited
about seeing mail too. Look at
00:04:29.00\00:04:35.94
this. I have some beautiful
pictures. Wow. And you know what
00:04:35.97\00:04:40.58
Can you read what it says? It's
kind of hard to read. I actually
00:04:40.61\00:04:46.15
can't read some of these
pictures. But you know what,
00:04:46.18\00:04:49.32
that is so special. What is
a special love letter from God?
00:04:49.35\00:04:53.96
His Bible. His Bible. How often
do we take time to read the
00:04:53.99\00:05:02.10
scripture?. How many Bibles do
you think you have in your home?
00:05:02.13\00:05:05.90
Put up how many fingers you
think you might have in your
00:05:05.93\00:05:08.27
home. Alike (fingers up) And
how often do you take time to
00:05:08.30\00:05:12.64
read it in a day? Oh oh.
You know sometimes we don't take
00:05:12.67\00:05:19.05
time to read God's word. And you
know it's really hard because I
00:05:19.08\00:05:23.39
try to make a habit of trying
to read the Bible first thing in
00:05:23.42\00:05:27.39
the morning. And sometimes I'm
in such a hurry that I forget to
00:05:27.46\00:05:32.23
take time for God. Ohh, oh no.
You know what, I think we can
00:05:32.26\00:05:39.00
learn something about Jesus and
His character. Are you ready for
00:05:39.03\00:05:42.20
a Bible story?
Chorus of yes. ¤ ¤
00:05:42.24\00:05:45.71
So you know in the Bible was
probably there in some scrolls
00:05:51.35\00:05:54.15
or in some kind of scripture and
we don't know exactly how Jesus
00:05:54.22\00:05:57.49
might have had access to them.
We don't know if it was a gift
00:05:57.52\00:06:00.69
from the Magi or they used it
for money or maybe it was from
00:06:00.76\00:06:04.83
the temple. We don't know how He
got it but it seems like Jesus
00:06:04.86\00:06:10.97
possibly studied the scrolls.
And you know what? Did you know
00:06:11.00\00:06:14.67
what was interesting about those
scrolls? Do you know how they
00:06:14.70\00:06:17.81
write? Do you know how they
write? They write from right to
00:06:17.84\00:06:22.58
left. You know that. Good job.
And you know that they had 22
00:06:22.61\00:06:26.72
letters. Not so many vowels.
They had 22 letters. That's kind
00:06:26.75\00:06:31.15
of different. And so I can
imagine Jesus going up on the
00:06:31.19\00:06:36.93
mountain side very early in the
morning like He always did and
00:06:36.96\00:06:41.36
dusk where He would take time
for God. And I would just like
00:06:41.40\00:06:46.47
to imagine what that would have
looked like. Would you like to
00:06:46.50\00:06:49.47
see our picture book. See I can
imaging Jesus and you know what
00:06:49.50\00:06:56.78
I see Him praying and
taking time to read God's word.
00:06:56.85\00:07:00.95
The prophet Isaiah says, Surely
He has borne our griefs and
00:07:00.98\00:07:04.85
carried our sorrows. Yet we
esteemed Him stricken, smitten
00:07:04.89\00:07:08.52
by God and afflicted. But He was
wounded for our transgressions
00:07:08.56\00:07:12.43
He was bruised for our iniquity
the chastisement for our peace
00:07:12.46\00:07:16.56
was upon Him and by His stripes
we are healed. All we like sheep
00:07:16.60\00:07:20.84
have gone astray. We have turned
every one to his own way. And
00:07:20.87\00:07:25.21
the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all. He was
00:07:25.24\00:07:29.74
oppressed and He was afflicted.
Yet He opened not His mouth.
00:07:29.78\00:07:33.82
He was led as a lamb to the
slaughter and as a sheep before
00:07:33.85\00:07:37.75
it's shearers is dumb
so He opened not His mouth.
00:07:37.79\00:07:42.59
Heavenly Father, please help me
to do anything for you. Please
00:07:42.62\00:07:49.26
help me to know that I am
perfect in your sight and please
00:07:49.30\00:07:53.03
help me to learn all of your
scriptures. In your name I pray
00:07:53.07\00:07:56.94
Amen. ¤ ¤
00:07:57.01\00:08:07.52
I'm finding myself at a loss for
words. And the funny thing is
00:08:07.55\00:08:18.39
it's okay. The last
thing I need is to be heard.
00:08:18.43\00:08:28.80
But to hear what you would say.
00:08:28.84\00:08:34.88
Word of God speak Would
you pour down like rain.
00:08:34.91\00:08:41.65
Washing my heart
to see your majesty.
00:08:41.68\00:08:49.42
To be still and know
that you are in this place.
00:08:49.46\00:08:55.43
Please let me stay
and rest In your holiness.
00:08:55.46\00:09:03.41
I can just imagine Jesus having
a wonderful time out in nature
00:09:03.44\00:09:11.65
listening to God. Would you like
to take time and make it for
00:09:11.68\00:09:17.19
Jesus. Take that time, even if
it's just one verse in the Bible
00:09:17.22\00:09:21.49
before you go to school. That's
a hard thing to do. I have to
00:09:21.52\00:09:25.49
practice it too but can you
do that for me? Because that's
00:09:25.53\00:09:29.10
something that's really
important because that message
00:09:29.13\00:09:31.23
can go throughout the whole day.
You know somebody that I knew
00:09:31.27\00:09:36.00
and a story, there is a person
that is a surgeon and I want to
00:09:36.04\00:09:43.21
know if you recognize who this
person is. Let's see if I can
00:09:43.24\00:09:47.62
get it on and he is right here.
Do you know who this person is?
00:09:47.65\00:09:52.25
Who is this person? Hmm.
Ben Carson? That is Ben Carson.
00:09:52.29\00:09:58.16
And you know what, he had a
little temper and he had to pray
00:09:58.19\00:10:04.57
Jesus, you've got to help me.
And you know what his favorite
00:10:04.60\00:10:06.53
book is now? The Bible.
You've got it. It is the Bible.
00:10:06.57\00:10:10.61
You know, we can learn so much
about nature and the skies and
00:10:10.64\00:10:15.04
we can find out about the
cumulus clouds and cirrus clouds
00:10:15.08\00:10:21.72
and stratus and the nimbus. I
can tell you've been to school.
00:10:21.75\00:10:27.46
We can learn so much about
nature and about God and He
00:10:27.49\00:10:32.93
wants to have His word in your
heart. Don't you want to have
00:10:32.96\00:10:36.13
Him in your heart today? Yeah!
I sure do. Are you ready for
00:10:36.16\00:10:39.70
some questions with Aunt
Francine? Yeah. You think you're
00:10:39.73\00:10:43.20
ready. Oh let's see how ready
you are. So Aunt Francine's
00:10:43.24\00:10:47.01
going to take her notes and
do your know your sign language?
00:10:47.08\00:10:50.35
Okay, here's A. So here we go.
00:10:50.38\00:10:53.05
Was it A - Orally, B - reading.
or C - Both orally and reading.
00:10:55.62\00:11:04.33
Woo. That's a tough one. How
many of you said C. Did you say
00:11:04.36\00:11:08.50
C. You are right. It was orally,
meaning talking and reading the
00:11:08.53\00:11:14.24
scriptures. That's how we can
learn about God's word, right?
00:11:14.27\00:11:17.01
Yeah. Right? Okay.
00:11:17.04\00:11:20.98
Would it be A - During the noon
time. B - Early in the morning
00:11:25.11\00:11:30.29
and at dusk or C - When He was
helping others? When was Jesus
00:11:30.32\00:11:36.59
often talking with his heavenly
Father? Did you say B. Yes,
00:11:36.62\00:11:43.13
you're right. I'm so glad that
we can have Jesus as our light.
00:11:43.16\00:11:47.34
Do you want Him to be your light
today? Yeah, Yes. Shall I tell
00:11:47.37\00:11:50.91
you a quick story? Yeah. You
know it was really, really dark
00:11:50.94\00:11:54.78
one time. Did I tell you that
story? How dark it was. Have you
00:11:54.81\00:11:58.11
ever been really, really scared?
In your covers and sometimes
00:11:58.15\00:12:03.39
you're so scared you don't know
what you're going to do. What
00:12:03.42\00:12:06.69
can you do when
you're really, really scared?
00:12:06.76\00:12:09.16
You can pray.
00:12:09.19\00:12:10.53
You can pray. And remember some
of those verses. So if you take
00:12:10.56\00:12:14.46
time to read the Bible what
do you want to do? You want to
00:12:14.50\00:12:19.90
write it in your hearts, right?
Because we want God's word to be
00:12:19.93\00:12:23.91
the light for our path. Are you
ready to have Jesus as the light
00:12:23.94\00:12:27.08
for your path? I'm so
thankful that Jesus wants
00:12:27.11\00:12:30.65
to be the light for
00:12:30.68\00:12:32.01
our path. Don't you want
to make time for Him each day?
00:12:32.05\00:12:34.78
Yes (chorus). We don't have a
lot of time for our craft today
00:12:34.82\00:12:38.32
but you know what? How can we
make the word special to us and
00:12:38.35\00:12:43.93
put it in our hearts. What
do we need to do? Read the Bible
00:12:43.96\00:12:48.63
every day and make time for that
We don't have a lot of time for
00:12:48.66\00:12:52.20
our craft today but
you can find it where?
00:12:52.23\00:12:54.60
At 3ABNKids.tv. We hope you can
join us until next time where
00:12:54.64\00:13:01.18
Jesus can shine for you.
