00:00:01.70\00:00:06.30
When my heart begins
to fear, He is my Light.
00:00:06.33\00:00:09.37
I can smile for He
is near, Jesus my Light.
00:00:09.40\00:00:14.11
When I'm blue and
feeling sad, He is my Light.
00:00:14.18\00:00:18.68
He reminds me I can
be glad, Jesus my Light.
00:00:18.71\00:00:23.42
He is the Light,
Yes Jesus my Light.
00:00:23.49\00:00:27.72
In Him is no
darkness, in Him is no night.
00:00:27.76\00:00:32.56
Wherever He leads me,
He makes my way bright.
00:00:32.59\00:00:37.57
I'll shine for
Jesus, Jesus my Light.
00:00:37.60\00:00:43.41
Here comes Aunt Francine.
00:00:43.44\00:00:45.94
Hey kids. I'm so glad to be with
you in the tree house today.
00:00:45.97\00:00:50.05
Thank you for coming and joining
me. I am so excited to learn
00:00:50.08\00:00:54.95
about Jesus today.
00:00:54.98\00:00:56.32
Are you? Yes (chorus) We
need to welcome our kids at
00:00:56.35\00:00:59.65
home. Welcome to Jesus My Light.
I'm Aunt Francine and this is
00:00:59.69\00:01:04.39
little Ginger. We're so excited
that you are joining us and we
00:01:04.43\00:01:08.43
want to learn about Jesus. He
was shining His Light for others
00:01:08.46\00:01:11.57
didn't He? Yeah. Yes and do
you like shining your Light for
00:01:11.60\00:01:14.70
others? Oh we want to shine
which reminds me of a song.
00:01:14.74\00:01:18.91
Shine Jesus Shine. Can we sing
that together? All right let's
00:01:18.94\00:01:23.01
hear it nice and loud. Ready?
00:01:23.04\00:01:24.85
Oh I want to live in the Light
of Jesus. Don't you? Yeah chorus
00:02:01.78\00:02:07.86
Do you know, even when He was
small He wanted to let His Light
00:02:07.89\00:02:12.53
shine? Are there things that we
like to do to help others? Thank
00:02:12.56\00:02:16.77
you Ben, I really appreciate
it. You're welcome. Hey I think
00:02:16.80\00:02:20.17
there's some mail. Maybe
not. Is there any mail today?
00:02:20.24\00:02:24.11
I'll check. Let's check, No mail
today. That's okay. Sometimes we
00:02:24.14\00:02:30.95
don't have mail. You know what
but are you ready for the story
00:02:30.98\00:02:34.72
about Jesus because He wrote His
love letter in the Bible. Can we
00:02:34.75\00:02:38.49
get that Bible over there? Who
can help me? Go ahead. Thank you
00:02:38.52\00:02:42.96
I think we need to get the love
letter of Jesus. Are you ready
00:02:42.99\00:02:47.00
to learn about Jesus? Yes
chorus. Are you ready to learn
00:02:47.03\00:02:50.90
Jesus at home? Let's learn to
love. Let's tell our Bible story
00:02:50.97\00:02:54.50
Here we are. ¤ ¤
00:02:54.54\00:03:02.18
Jesus wanted to shine His Light.
He couldn't wait for the special
00:03:02.21\00:03:06.58
time when He would be 12 years
old. Do you know where He could
00:03:06.61\00:03:09.85
go when He was 12 years old?
The temple. The temple. Now it's
00:03:09.88\00:03:13.96
possible that He was part
of a synagogue and would know a
00:03:13.99\00:03:16.73
little bit about the scriptures.
And would even participate but
00:03:16.76\00:03:19.83
in the temple in Jerusalem which
was about 20 miles away he was
00:03:19.86\00:03:27.14
excited to go and travel. Do
you like going on a trip? Yeah
00:03:27.17\00:03:30.11
chorus. So for years Jesus was
was anticipating that He would
00:03:30.14\00:03:34.71
be going to the temple and He
would participate. But you know
00:03:34.74\00:03:38.08
what's interesting about Jesus?
I really like Jesus for one
00:03:38.11\00:03:41.32
special reason. When He was
there and He would travel with
00:03:41.35\00:03:44.72
the caravan and they would all
go there you know where Jesus
00:03:44.75\00:03:48.06
was often found? Everybody was
participating and now He could
00:03:48.09\00:03:51.59
go to the temple. And when
He's there talking; you know the
00:03:51.63\00:03:56.00
story well, don't you? You
know the story very well. He's
00:03:56.03\00:03:58.43
talking with what, whom? The
priests. The priests and He is
00:03:58.47\00:04:02.10
so excited. But you know what?
Jesus didn't act like He knew it
00:04:02.14\00:04:05.44
all. That's not Jesus. You know
what He did? What sometimes is
00:04:05.47\00:04:09.74
really good to do is to ask
questions. Have you ever asked a
00:04:09.78\00:04:13.62
question knowing the answer?
Yeah chorus. Sometimes that's
00:04:13.65\00:04:17.29
less threatening. Sometimes if
you're really good you can ask a
00:04:17.32\00:04:21.62
question and so that's exactly
what Jesus was doing. He would
00:04:21.66\00:04:24.93
go and He was talking to the
priests but also he was asking
00:04:24.96\00:04:28.80
them questions and in that
way it was nonthreatening to the
00:04:28.83\00:04:32.63
priests and they realized
what? He knew a lot about the
00:04:32.67\00:04:35.87
scriptures, didn't He? Yeah. He
really knew a lot about it. So
00:04:35.90\00:04:40.08
you know the story very well.
What was happening? It was on
00:04:40.11\00:04:44.55
the eighth day and what
was happening to His family?
00:04:44.58\00:04:47.25
They were leaving Him.
00:04:47.32\00:04:49.12
They were leaving and Mary
thought Jesus was with Joseph
00:04:49.15\00:04:53.66
or with other family members
or some cousins or his brothers.
00:04:53.69\00:04:56.93
And Joseph thought that Mary
was with Him and they were just
00:04:56.96\00:05:00.90
traveling and they took a whole
day's trip. Have your parents
00:05:00.93\00:05:04.63
left you for a whole day all by
yourself. No. Maybe Ricardo but
00:05:04.67\00:05:09.14
not yet I hope not
00:05:09.17\00:05:10.97
because we want to have
parents with us. But you know
00:05:11.01\00:05:14.84
what? What was Jesus doing?
00:05:14.88\00:05:16.58
He was asking questions.
00:05:16.61\00:05:20.32
He was asking questions and
talking about what? The Bible.
00:05:20.35\00:05:25.55
The special Bible. You're right.
He wanted to know more about it
00:05:25.59\00:05:29.69
and so He was asking. When
He saw the lamb being offered
00:05:29.72\00:05:35.30
possibly in the morning more and
more He was filled with the Holy
00:05:35.33\00:05:39.13
Spirit that He might be the Lamb
of God. No, I think that He knew
00:05:39.17\00:05:43.61
He was going to be the Lamb
of God. He was understanding the
00:05:43.64\00:05:47.51
scripture and my goodness, you
know, I would have love to have
00:05:47.58\00:05:51.45
been there. Wouldn't you have
loved to be there. Yeah chorus.
00:05:51.48\00:05:54.35
Shall we look in our picture
book and see what that might
00:05:54.38\00:05:56.55
have been like. Yeah. I would
like to see a picture book and
00:05:56.58\00:06:00.96
let's see if we can open up our
picture book and find the story
00:06:00.99\00:06:07.00
of Jesus. Now you know the story
very well. Do you think Mary and
00:06:07.03\00:06:10.97
Joseph slept that night?
00:06:11.00\00:06:13.10
Maybe not.
00:06:13.13\00:06:14.97
I don't think so. When they
discovered that Jesus wasn't
00:06:15.00\00:06:18.07
with them. Oh no! They were
so fearful. I don't think they
00:06:18.11\00:06:21.91
could sleep a wink. Why?
00:06:21.94\00:06:23.85
Because they were scared.
00:06:23.88\00:06:25.88
They were scared. And not only
that, do you remember the story?
00:06:25.91\00:06:28.72
It was Herod's son that was
ruling at that time and you know
00:06:28.75\00:06:32.92
what? They were still fearful
that his son might try to kill
00:06:32.95\00:06:37.36
Jesus. And so, yes, they didn't
sleep much that night and I can
00:06:37.43\00:06:40.83
imagine how quickly they had to
travel back. And, you know, this
00:06:40.90\00:06:45.17
was a long day and then
they were looking all over in
00:06:45.20\00:06:48.64
Jerusalem. And did they find
Jesus? No chorus. They couldn't
00:06:48.67\00:06:52.64
find Him. Huge sigh. You
know the story well, right. They
00:06:52.67\00:06:57.15
finally, hear Jesus and they
go around the corner and what
00:06:57.18\00:06:59.91
happens? They find... You're
right. Here is Joseph and he's
00:06:59.95\00:07:05.15
looking. Do you want to come
over and come close? Yeah, see
00:07:05.19\00:07:11.13
he's looking over here and this
is a priest and he's looking and
00:07:11.16\00:07:14.36
he's saying Wow He really knows.
Oh I would like to imagine what
00:07:14.40\00:07:19.53
that was like to have Jesus
there. The Savior of Israel will
00:07:19.57\00:07:26.21
not only save the people,
00:07:26.24\00:07:27.58
but he will also take
the sins of all and He
00:07:27.61\00:07:30.25
will be like the lamb.
Spoken by the prophet Isaiah.
00:07:30.28\00:07:35.28
Son, Why have you done this to
us. You father and I have sought
00:07:35.32\00:07:38.92
you anxiously.
00:07:38.95\00:07:40.29
Why were you looking for me?
Don't you know I must be in my
00:07:40.36\00:07:43.56
Father's house. Parents let the
boy stay with us. We would be
00:07:43.63\00:07:47.86
happy to school Him in the ways
of the scriptures and learn to
00:07:47.90\00:07:51.03
be with the rabbis. He would
be an asset because He knows so
00:07:51.07\00:07:54.44
much of the scriptures
and their interpretation.
00:07:54.47\00:07:56.64
Well it seems He knows as much
of the scripture as you do so
00:07:56.71\00:08:00.38
why would He need to learn from
you? Thank you for the offer but
00:08:00.41\00:08:04.65
it is God who is instructing
Jesus as He is learning far more
00:08:04.68\00:08:07.98
than you would ever
be able to teach him.
00:08:08.02\00:08:11.35
No wonder Jesus was surprised.
After all what was he doing?
00:08:11.39\00:08:15.12
He was being about His business.
Would your parents know where
00:08:15.16\00:08:18.76
where you'd be? Would they
know where to find you? He was
00:08:18.79\00:08:23.57
surprised because they should
have known where Jesus was.
00:08:23.60\00:08:26.84
It was obvious. He would always
be where he could learn more
00:08:26.87\00:08:30.74
about God as often as He could.
If He wasn't helping somebody
00:08:30.81\00:08:34.34
that is exactly what he wanted
to do. And you know that reminds
00:08:34.38\00:08:38.48
me of some other interesting
animals. Do you know some
00:08:38.51\00:08:42.05
animals that kind of... Do you
ever like to catch fireflies?
00:08:42.08\00:08:46.39
Yeah. Yeah, don't they Light up?
Do you like catching them? Yes.
00:08:46.42\00:08:52.96
I like catching them and then
letting them go. But you know
00:08:52.99\00:08:56.26
what, there's another deep, deep
animal in the ocean. Do you know
00:08:56.30\00:09:01.94
what that is? Jellyfish? You're
right, a jellyfish. And did you
00:09:01.97\00:09:05.71
that jellyfish,
almost 50 percent of them are
00:09:05.74\00:09:10.28
bioluminescent. Can you say that
word. Bioluminescent. And that
00:09:10.35\00:09:14.88
means that they can glow in the
very deep, deep ocean. Would you
00:09:14.92\00:09:19.82
like to see some? Come on
close Yeah, chorus. Here's some
00:09:19.85\00:09:23.73
bioluminescent jellyfish and
they like to shine in the very
00:09:23.76\00:09:28.90
dark and you know what? They
are 85 percent full of water.
00:09:28.93\00:09:33.44
Wow, chorus. That's real
interesting. You know what they
00:09:33.47\00:09:36.04
like to eat? Other animals.
Yeah And shrimp and fish. You're
00:09:36.07\00:09:42.08
right. They like to eat those
different things and you know
00:09:42.11\00:09:44.88
what's interesting about
them too? I don't know but I've
00:09:44.91\00:09:48.58
petted some on the top. Not
bioluminescent but sometimes you
00:09:48.62\00:09:52.02
can touch jellyfish but you have
to be very careful, so know what
00:09:52.05\00:09:54.99
you're doing. But I like that
they scare their prey by shining
00:09:55.02\00:09:59.06
their Light. What happens when
we shine our Light for Jesus?
00:09:59.09\00:10:02.10
We teach others about God.
00:10:02.13\00:10:04.40
You're right.
00:10:04.43\00:10:05.77
And Satan runs away from us.
00:10:05.80\00:10:07.14
You're right. Satan runs away
from us and that's what we want
00:10:07.17\00:10:08.57
to do. The more we spend time
with God and His word we chase
00:10:08.60\00:10:14.31
Satan away. Aren't you glad for
that? Yeah chorus. We too can
00:10:14.34\00:10:18.48
shine our Light. Is this
something that you can do at
00:10:18.51\00:10:21.02
home or in your community
that you can shine for Jesus.
00:10:22.25\00:10:25.25
You can pray, read your Bible.
00:10:25.29\00:10:27.66
Read you Bible.
00:10:27.69\00:10:29.46
Find out about God.
00:10:29.49\00:10:30.83
You're right. How can you tell
others about God. Give me an
00:10:30.86\00:10:32.19
example of that.
00:10:32.23\00:10:33.60
You can go to like
people's houses and just
00:10:33.63\00:10:34.96
like talk about
the good news of Jesus.
00:10:35.40\00:10:37.27
You're right. When I was a
teacher you know what I used to
00:10:37.30\00:10:40.14
like to do? I used to like
having an adopted grandparent.
00:10:40.17\00:10:44.04
Do you have somebody that you
know in your church or community
00:10:44.11\00:10:47.48
that would love to have somebody
just like you spending time with
00:10:47.51\00:10:51.05
them? I think so. Think of
some grandparent that you could
00:10:51.08\00:10:54.45
spend... And here's some kids
helping with their grandparent
00:10:54.48\00:10:58.45
and looking back. Look at that.
They're making some bread. We
00:10:58.49\00:11:01.56
can shine for Jesus. Are
you ready for some questions?
00:11:01.59\00:11:04.56
Yeah chorus. You were paying
attention. Let's see if you are
00:11:04.59\00:11:10.07
ready to learn these questions.
00:11:10.10\00:11:12.97
Ah you already got the answer.
Twelve years old. You're right.
00:11:18.41\00:11:23.55
How about city was Jesus at
the time when he was going to
00:11:23.58\00:11:31.09
Jerusalem, what city did he come
from? Nazareth chorus. What was
00:11:31.12\00:11:40.60
Nazareth called? A wicked city.
It was wicked as wicked and they
00:11:40.63\00:11:46.10
thought nothing good could come
from Nazareth. But where did
00:11:46.13\00:11:48.27
Jesus come from. Nazareth chorus
You're right. So even if we live
00:11:48.30\00:11:52.17
in where there's a lot of sin
and we can still shine our Light
00:11:52.21\00:11:54.74
for others, right? All right
here's the third question. Okay
00:11:54.78\00:11:58.95
let me do my sign language on
this one. Do you know what the
00:11:58.98\00:12:03.89
Passover represented? Was it A:
when the angel passed over the
00:12:03.92\00:12:10.13
door post. A. B: Moses
parted the sea or C: When the
00:12:10.16\00:12:17.60
Israelites left Egypt.
00:12:17.63\00:12:19.00
A chorus. You're right. When the
angel passed over. That's when
00:12:19.03\00:12:23.74
they wanted to celebrate and
thank Jesus, thank God, I should
00:12:23.81\00:12:28.91
say, thank God for passing over
and sparing their lives. I'm so
00:12:28.94\00:12:33.65
thankful that we can live for
Jesus. Aren't you? Yeah chorus.
00:12:33.72\00:12:36.28
And I hope you find some kind of
person that you can shine your
00:12:36.32\00:12:40.19
light whether it's a grandparent
in your community or in your
00:12:40.26\00:12:45.76
neighbor. Sometimes my daughter
likes to go to a neighbor close
00:12:45.79\00:12:49.13
by. Now we don't have a lot of
time but we can bring... If you
00:12:49.16\00:12:52.57
find our website at 3ABNKids.tv

Are you ready to make
some bioluminescent jellyfish?

Yeah, chorus. Yes. So we're
excited. I hope that you will
00:13:02.48\00:13:06.95
take time to learn about Jesus
and find His love. Would you
00:13:07.02\00:13:11.69
please get out the craft,
the bioluminescent jellyfish.
00:13:11.72\00:13:15.19
I would like us to make it.
I hope that you're willing to
00:13:15.22\00:13:18.86
shine for Jesus in everything
that you do because Jesus can
00:13:18.89\00:13:23.16
use you on the smallest things.
