When my heart begins
to fear, He is my light.
00:00:07.34\00:00:09.70
I can smile for He
is near. Jesus my Light.
00:00:09.74\00:00:14.01
When I'm blue and
feeling sad He is my Light.
00:00:14.04\00:00:18.71
He reminds me I can
be glad. Jesus my Light.
00:00:18.75\00:00:23.22
He is the Light
Yes Jesus my Light
00:00:23.25\00:00:27.72
In Him is no
darkness In Him is no night.
00:00:27.76\00:00:32.43
Wherever He leads me
He makes my life bright.
00:00:32.46\00:00:37.77
I'll shine for
Jesus, Jesus my Light.
00:00:37.80\00:00:43.20
Here comes Aunt Francine.
00:00:43.24\00:00:44.97
Hi kids. How are you? I'm so
glad to see you today. It's a
00:00:45.01\00:00:51.91
wonderful time to be in our
tree house so we can learn about
00:00:51.95\00:00:57.45
Jesus. I would like to welcome
you at home to Jesus My Light.
00:00:57.49\00:01:02.49
I'm Aunt Francine and this is
Little Ginger. We want to talk
00:01:02.52\00:01:06.16
about Jesus today because
you know what, wherever He went
00:01:06.19\00:01:09.36
those that were looking for
truth and wanted to know more
00:01:09.40\00:01:12.60
about God where He was drawing
them closer to who God was and
00:01:12.63\00:01:17.37
everyone wanted to be close
to Jesus. Are you ready to learn
00:01:17.41\00:01:22.01
today? Yeah! All right. You know
people that know about God want
00:01:22.04\00:01:26.75
to follow Him and really give
their hearts to him and you know
00:01:26.78\00:01:30.42
we have to make a decision to
follow Jesus which reminds me of
00:01:30.45\00:01:34.62
a song, I Have Decided to Follow
Jesus. Will you sing it with us?
00:01:34.66\00:01:38.76
¤ ¤
00:01:38.79\00:01:44.77
Have any of you had to do
something and never go back for
00:02:28.28\00:02:34.22
something else? I've met
some families that had to leave
00:02:34.25\00:02:38.15
everything behind and go and
flee. Sometimes they come from
00:02:38.19\00:02:44.39
different countries and
sometimes there is war or
00:02:44.43\00:02:47.26
something going on and they had
to leave everything in order to
00:02:47.30\00:02:51.00
find safety. And you know that's
what we need to be able to do
00:02:51.03\00:02:53.90
isn't it? We need to be able to
leave everything behind just to
00:02:53.94\00:02:57.67
follow Jesus. Thank you
for singing that song for us.
00:02:57.71\00:03:00.84
Are you ready for a
Bible story? Yeah! Yes! ¤
00:03:00.88\00:03:07.62
Jesus was ready to find His
disciples, people that would
00:03:07.65\00:03:11.59
want to follow Jesus. And so He
was walking by the Jordan River
00:03:11.62\00:03:16.32
and on His way there who was
already preaching over there?
00:03:16.36\00:03:19.79
John the Baptist!
00:03:19.83\00:03:21.36
You know it well. It's
John the Baptist and he had some
00:03:21.40\00:03:24.13
followers too. And he had
specifically two disciples and
00:03:24.17\00:03:28.04
they were Andrew and John. And
Andrew and John were there and
00:03:28.07\00:03:32.44
they realized that this has to
be the Messiah because John the
00:03:32.47\00:03:36.71
Baptist said This is the
Lamb of God. And so they started
00:03:36.75\00:03:39.28
following Jesus and it didn't
stop there because Andrew had
00:03:39.31\00:03:44.79
to go tell somebody
else. Who did he have to tell?
00:03:44.82\00:03:46.96
Simon Peter.
00:03:46.99\00:03:48.46
Simon Peter. He goes and tells
Simon Peter and then it doesn't
00:03:48.49\00:03:52.23
stop there. Jesus the next day
is going to the Lake of Galilee
00:03:52.26\00:03:55.70
and on His way there He finds
Phillip. And Phillip, do you
00:03:55.73\00:03:58.90
think he could keep quiet.
No! No, he couldn't keep quiet
00:03:58.93\00:04:03.10
either because he had to go tell
somebody else. Everybody had to
00:04:03.14\00:04:06.21
go spreading it out. It's
like everybody was drawn and if
00:04:06.24\00:04:09.34
you're connected to Jesus you're
going to pull other people to
00:04:09.38\00:04:12.11
know more about Jesus. Did
you know that? Sometimes we can
00:04:12.15\00:04:16.72
share the love of Jesus just by
the way we're living and we can
00:04:16.75\00:04:19.85
follow Jesus. So here's another
interesting thing. Do you know
00:04:19.89\00:04:23.59
I'm thinking of something that's
kind of like a magnet. Do you
00:04:23.63\00:04:30.20
like magnets? Yeah! Do any of
you have magnets at home? Yeah.
00:04:30.23\00:04:34.57
I like to play with magnets.
What do you know about magnets?
00:04:34.60\00:04:37.94
Now I didn't bring...I should
have brought Amanda's magnets
00:04:37.97\00:04:40.58
with us in our tree house but
I didn't do that. Anyway I like
00:04:40.61\00:04:45.11
pulling a whole string of
magnets, right? Oh you want to
00:04:45.15\00:04:48.48
pull out some magnets for us?
I think there's some magnets in
00:04:48.52\00:04:51.69
that treasure box. Good job.
Thank you, Alec. Yes, can you
00:04:51.72\00:04:56.76
bring that over? Yes, we need
some magnets. And you know what
00:04:56.79\00:05:01.13
when we're connected with Jesus
we're going to be like a magnet.
00:05:01.16\00:05:04.87
So here's two magnets. Now did
you ever notice that if you put
00:05:04.90\00:05:09.90
two norths together they don't
really...You can't connect them.
00:05:09.94\00:05:15.41
They don't want to connect. And
if you put two souths together
00:05:15.44\00:05:19.41
they what? They repel. That's
exactly what happens. They repel
00:05:19.45\00:05:23.69
They can't connect with each
other. But if you have a north
00:05:23.72\00:05:28.26
and a south what happens?
00:05:28.29\00:05:29.62
They connect. They stick.
00:05:29.66\00:05:30.99
They can stick together. You're
right. And you can have a whole
00:05:31.03\00:05:35.90
row of these magnets, right?
Uh-huh. And so you can have a
00:05:35.93\00:05:39.93
whole row of them and when
you're really connected to the
00:05:39.97\00:05:42.67
source of Jesus you're connected
Now here...we might need to
00:05:42.70\00:05:47.08
leave a little bit of room but
I have something, (Sneeze) Oh
00:05:47.11\00:05:49.58
bless you. Oh Ginger wants
to learn about it too. So, oops.
00:05:49.61\00:05:55.32
Well we're going to try it
without the wheels. So we're
00:05:55.35\00:05:56.69
just going to turn it around
this way, okay? And so here it
00:05:56.72\00:06:00.36
is, we've got a magnet, right?
And so sometimes there's people
00:06:00.39\00:06:04.19
that you hang out with at school
Are there some people that you
00:06:04.23\00:06:08.46
don't like being around with?
Yeah, hm-huh. Sometimes it's as
00:06:08.50\00:06:14.74
if they're repelling them.
They're moving away. And move
00:06:14.77\00:06:20.44
your way. You don't want to be
with them. But you know what if
00:06:20.48\00:06:23.41
you have the character of Jesus
hopefully, you're drawing people
00:06:23.45\00:06:28.58
towards you, right? That's
exactly what we want to do.
00:06:28.62\00:06:33.52
We don't want to be having
bad choices because people just
00:06:33.56\00:06:37.63
don't want to hang out with you.
We don't want to repel. Do you
00:06:37.66\00:06:42.40
want to try that? Does anybody
want to try it. It's kind of
00:06:42.43\00:06:45.50
hard. So. Yep. We'll probably
do it...Here come on over.
00:06:45.53\00:06:49.77
Yeah. Hold on. There we're
connected. And sometimes it's
00:06:49.80\00:06:56.38
really hard to get it off. But
you know what? We can learn a
00:06:56.41\00:07:00.22
lot about magnets and who
Jesus is. Everything in nature,
00:07:00.25\00:07:04.45
everything that God has created
is about knowing who Jesus is.
00:07:04.49\00:07:09.46
And I hope you want to learn
about Jesus. I'm going to leave
00:07:09.49\00:07:12.96
this for just a little bit
longer. Did you know that when
00:07:12.99\00:07:20.00
Simon Peter...Are you ready
to come around and look at our
00:07:20.04\00:07:22.07
picture book? Yeah! Yeah, see
what was happening. They wanted
00:07:22.10\00:07:26.54
to learn more about Jesus. ¤ ¤
00:07:26.57\00:07:33.08
Look the Lamb of God.
00:07:33.11\00:07:34.88
What are you looking for?
00:07:34.92\00:07:37.02
Rabbi, where are you staying?
00:07:37.05\00:07:39.29
Come with me and you'll see.
00:07:39.32\00:07:41.49
¤ ¤
00:07:41.52\00:07:51.83
Simon, Simon, we have
found the Messiah. Come quick.
00:07:51.87\00:07:55.34
¤ ¤ You are
Simon the son of Jonah.
00:07:55.37\00:08:06.85
But from now on you will be
called Peter which means rock.
00:08:06.88\00:08:10.85
¤ ¤
00:08:10.89\00:08:23.40
Follow me. ¤ ¤
00:08:23.43\00:08:31.91
We found the One who Moses
wrote about in the law and the
00:08:31.94\00:08:34.41
prophets. It's
Jesus, the son of Joseph.
00:08:34.44\00:08:39.58
Nazareth? Can anything
good come out of Nazareth?
00:08:39.61\00:08:42.02
Come and see. ¤ ¤
00:08:42.05\00:08:44.62
This man is truly one of God's
people. There's no faults in him
00:09:05.51\00:09:09.74
How do you know me?
00:09:09.78\00:09:13.28
Before Phillip told you
I saw you under a fig tree.
00:09:13.31\00:09:15.92
Rabbi, you are the Son of
God. You are the King of Israel.
00:09:15.95\00:09:22.12
Because I saw you under a fig
tree, you believe? You will see
00:09:22.16\00:09:27.66
many more
greater things that this.
00:09:27.70\00:09:30.20
And they were so excited to see
Jesus and they wanted to learn
00:09:30.23\00:09:34.30
about Him and be drawn to Him.
I want to be drawn to Jesus.
00:09:34.34\00:09:39.04
You see? Yeah! So here's John
the Baptist, John the Baptist
00:09:39.07\00:09:46.25
and his disciples and they were
like, Oh they wanted to follow
00:09:46.28\00:09:49.68
Jesus. And we want to follow
Jesus too in everything that we
00:09:49.72\00:09:53.66
do. Now did you know that earth
is a big magnet? What? Yes. The
00:09:53.69\00:10:03.03
earth is a big magnet. Iron and
nickel are things that can be
00:10:03.06\00:10:08.10
magnetized too. Okay. And
there's Cobalt. But you know
00:10:08.14\00:10:13.58
what the core of the earth
like I said... Do you know why
00:10:13.61\00:10:17.45
there's iron in the middle of
the earth? Do you know why it
is? I think God put
00:10:17.48\00:10:21.35
it there for a particular reason
because you know what that iron
00:10:21.38\00:10:26.02
does? It shields the earth from
the UV rays. And when it shields
00:10:26.05\00:10:32.43
the earth from the UV rays...
Do you know what UV rays are?
00:10:32.46\00:10:35.13
What is it? The Sun. The sun,
you're right. We get UV rays
00:10:35.16\00:10:40.40
from the sun. And sometimes that
is putting a protection around
00:10:40.44\00:10:44.27
us. So when we're following
Jesus, okay, and we're connected
00:10:44.31\00:10:49.11
to Him, okay, when we're drawing
closer to Jesus do you know that
00:10:49.14\00:10:53.62
I believe that Jesus puts a
protection around us. There's
00:10:53.65\00:10:58.45
a lot of things that if you are
following Jesus Satan doesn't
00:10:58.49\00:11:04.26
even bother you. Now there's
other times that Satan works
00:11:04.29\00:11:07.06
really hard but Jesus says He
puts a protection around us and
00:11:07.10\00:11:11.43
says only so far. Because
there's a lot of things like if
00:11:11.47\00:11:14.70
you were doing drugs or
something or going around the
00:11:14.74\00:11:17.21
wrong people, okay, you're
drawing to the wrong crowd. And
00:11:17.24\00:11:21.58
we don't want to do that. We
want to be connected with Jesus,
00:11:21.61\00:11:24.95
right? Yeah, and I hope that you
want to be connected to Jesus.
00:11:24.98\00:11:28.65
Are you ready for some questions
I hope you are. Okay, let's see
00:11:28.68\00:11:35.16
if we can get some questions.
Are you ready? Yeah! All right.
00:11:35.19\00:11:40.13
What did the two men who later
became disciples call Jesus in
00:11:40.16\00:11:44.40
this story? Was it A - The rabbi
which means teacher; or B -
00:11:44.43\00:11:52.87
Jesus; or C - Son of God. Do you
know what it is? Did you get it
00:11:52.91\00:11:58.68
right at home? Yes, it's
A - Rabbi, which means what?
00:11:58.71\00:12:03.42
Teacher.
00:12:03.45\00:12:04.79
Teacher, you're right. What did
Nathaniel ask Jesus? What time
00:12:04.82\00:12:09.79
is it? How do you know me?
or May I follow you? Do you know
00:12:09.82\00:12:15.86
what it is? Okay. A - What time
is it; B - How do you know me?
00:12:15.90\00:12:22.30
or C - May I follow you? Which
one is it? If you said B at home
00:12:22.34\00:12:25.94
you're right. Okay, number
three: What does "Messiah" mean?
00:12:25.97\00:12:32.41
The Promised and Expected
Deliverer B - The Royal Priest;
00:12:32.45\00:12:36.99
or C - Father. Are you
ready? It means, you're right,
00:12:37.02\00:12:43.56
A - Promised and Expected
Deliverer. So we are expecting
00:12:43.59\00:12:49.56
Jesus. Are you hoping Jesus
is coming soon. Yeah! Will you
00:12:49.60\00:12:53.00
invite Him into your heart today
Yeah! I hope you take the time
00:12:53.03\00:12:57.14
to invite Jesus in your heart
today because things go a lot
00:12:57.17\00:13:00.68
smoother. We want to follow
Jesus. And in turn when we are
00:13:00.71\00:13:05.41
connected to the Main Magnet I
want to say, Jesus Christ, what
00:13:05.45\00:13:11.25
happens. We're going to
have other people learning about
00:13:11.29\00:13:15.72
Jesus and if we're connected
to Jesus, one person might be
00:13:15.76\00:13:20.30
connected to you and to Jesus
and the next person's going to
00:13:20.33\00:13:25.37
be connected to Jesus and the
next person and it's going to be
00:13:25.40\00:13:28.54
like a whole string of magnets.
Don't you want to do that?
00:13:28.57\00:13:31.41
I hope so. So let's live
for Jesus. Until next time we'll
00:13:31.44\00:13:35.68
see you at the tree house.
