00:00:01.73\00:00:06.43
When my heart begins
to fear, He is my Light.
00:00:06.47\00:00:09.50
I can smile for He
is near, Jesus my Light.
00:00:09.54\00:00:13.98
When I'm blue and
feeling sad, He is my Light.
00:00:14.01\00:00:20.05
He reminds me I can
be glad, Jesus my Light.
00:00:20.08\00:00:23.28
He is the Light,
yes, Jesus my Light
00:00:23.32\00:00:28.02
In Him is no
darkness, in Him is no night.
00:00:28.06\00:00:32.69
Wherever He leads me,
He makes my way bright.
00:00:32.73\00:00:37.43
I'll shine for
Jesus, Jesus my Light.
00:00:37.47\00:00:43.67
Hey, here comes Aunt Francine Hi
00:00:43.71\00:00:46.88
Hi kids, Oh it's so wonderful
to be in this tree house.
00:00:46.91\00:00:52.41
Thank you for closing that
door How are you today? Oh yay.
00:00:52.45\00:00:58.95
I like that. I'm so excited to
be here. And we need to welcome
00:00:58.99\00:01:03.43
our kids at home. Welcome to
Jesus my Light. We want to learn
00:01:03.46\00:01:08.00
about Jesus. I'm Aunt Francine
and this is little Ginger.
00:01:08.03\00:01:12.03
You know, Jesus had an
interesting personality.
00:01:12.07\00:01:15.47
I wish I could have been there
to see Him. Because you know
00:01:15.50\00:01:18.24
what? Even when we think
somebody gets angry, do you see
00:01:18.27\00:01:21.81
them get all red in the face?
Sometimes people get it, but you
00:01:21.84\00:01:25.75
know what, even when Jesus was
disappointed in how people were
00:01:25.78\00:01:29.75
treating His house, the children
loved to be with Jesus. Don't
00:01:29.78\00:01:35.12
you want to be with Jesus? Yes!
Jesus loves all the children.
00:01:35.16\00:01:38.96
Everyone of us. That makes
me think of a particular song.
00:01:38.99\00:01:43.23
Do you want to sing it with
us? Which song shall we sing?
00:01:43.26\00:01:45.53
Jesus Loves the Little Children.
00:01:45.57\00:01:47.74
I agree. Let's sing that song.
00:01:47.77\00:01:49.90
All right. ¤ ¤
00:01:49.94\00:01:55.11
Oh, I'm so glad that Jesus loves
each one of us. Each one of you
00:02:27.04\00:02:31.95
is very special to Jesus. I'm so
glad that He came to us. Thank
00:02:31.98\00:02:37.35
you for singing for that. Are
you ready for our Bible story?
00:02:37.39\00:02:40.52
Yes! Yeah! How
about you at home, are you
00:02:40.56\00:02:43.12
ready for our Bible story?
00:02:43.16\00:02:46.16
So it was about the Passover
time and Jesus was doing what He
00:02:46.19\00:02:51.37
normally did in going right to
the temple. Do you like to go to
00:02:51.40\00:02:55.50
church and pray? Yeah! Yes!
So Jesus was participating right
00:02:55.54\00:03:00.34
there at the temple and possibly
giving His half a shekel. Now
00:03:00.38\00:03:05.75
a half a shekel was what the
priests required at the temple.
00:03:05.78\00:03:09.72
Now does that sound right? They
had to exchange a shekel that
00:03:09.75\00:03:14.96
they would normally buy things
with with a temple shekel.
00:03:14.99\00:03:18.79
So they would switch that
out and you know what? What the
00:03:18.83\00:03:22.53
priests would do sometimes? When
they would switch the money they
00:03:22.56\00:03:26.10
would charge extra. Would that
be fair? No! That wasn't fair at
00:03:26.13\00:03:30.91
all. And so what they decided.
They would put it in and Jesus
00:03:30.94\00:03:34.91
knew that and He saw all these
poor people and many of them
00:03:34.94\00:03:39.68
would go the priests and
say please, please, I want the
00:03:39.71\00:03:43.55
blessings from God. And the
priest would say, Oh go away.
00:03:43.59\00:03:47.32
And so when Jesus was coming
to the temple, He had that
00:03:47.36\00:03:51.16
compassionate look on everyone's
face. And everybody comes in and
00:03:51.19\00:03:55.66
I can just see Jesus there and
He's seeing all of that and He's
00:03:55.70\00:04:00.40
seeing all of the commotion.
Were they doing what they were
00:04:00.44\00:04:03.34
supposed to be doing in the
temple? No! No, they weren't
00:04:03.37\00:04:07.84
doing what they were supposed to
be doing. And so Jesus, I assume
00:04:07.88\00:04:11.78
if He was angry it was a good
kind of angry. Have you ever
00:04:11.81\00:04:16.28
been angry for a good reason.
Yes! Ooo and I can see Jesus and
00:04:16.32\00:04:22.99
He said this is not about
my Father's business. And so he
00:04:23.02\00:04:27.26
decided...what did He do?
He grabbed a coil and I can see
00:04:27.30\00:04:31.63
the look and it was as if He
was piercing at everyone's eyes.
00:04:31.67\00:04:36.81
They felt it and especially
the priests. Now normally the
00:04:36.84\00:04:42.01
priests would have said
something about it and said,
00:04:42.04\00:04:44.08
Whoo, stop. But there was
something about Jesus that they
00:04:44.11\00:04:49.08
recognized. He had some
authority. Hmm. Interesting.
00:04:49.12\00:04:52.99
I can only imagine what that was
like. And so you know what they
00:04:53.02\00:04:57.76
did? They would go there
and people would just all of a
00:04:57.79\00:05:02.00
sudden... Do you know
what Jesus did. What did He do?
00:05:02.03\00:05:04.03
He knocked the tables over.
00:05:04.07\00:05:06.10
He knocked over all the tables.
And then what happened next.
00:05:06.13\00:05:10.14
He allowed the animals out.
00:05:10.17\00:05:12.81
Well I'm assuming the animals
walked out. You're right. And it
00:05:12.84\00:05:15.71
was interesting. He had this
kind of-We need to be about our
00:05:15.74\00:05:19.98
Father's business. And they
weren't treating the temple the
00:05:20.02\00:05:23.62
right way. Where should we
be when we're worshiping God?
00:05:23.65\00:05:27.82
In the temple, right? In
the church. Do you like going to
00:05:27.86\00:05:30.13
church? We don't want to do
things at church that shouldn't
00:05:30.16\00:05:34.63
be what we should be doing. We
should be praising God. And so I
00:05:34.66\00:05:38.83
can imagine just at that time...
You know there's sometimes where
00:05:38.87\00:05:42.30
we have to clean things out.
We call it the cleansing of the
00:05:42.34\00:05:46.34
temple sometimes. And when Jesus
was cleansing the temple, we say
00:05:46.37\00:05:50.41
cleansing the temple, was He
really cleaning it out? No. They
00:05:50.45\00:05:54.98
had to clean it within their
hearts. But you know what's
00:05:55.02\00:05:57.12
interesting? Just afterward, you
know who comes running to Jesus?
00:05:57.15\00:06:01.09
His disciples.
00:06:01.12\00:06:03.56
I would say it's His disciples.
But even more precious than that
00:06:03.59\00:06:08.30
Do you know what's really
special to Jesus. Children.
00:06:08.33\00:06:10.97
You're right, children. And you
know even though Jesus looked
00:06:11.00\00:06:16.04
like He might have been angry
for the right reason, they were
00:06:16.07\00:06:19.34
guilty and that's why they were
scared. And what did they do?
00:06:19.37\00:06:21.71
They fled. And they wanted
to flee. But you know what, the
00:06:21.74\00:06:27.52
children, where did they go?
They ran toward Jesus. You know
00:06:27.55\00:06:32.65
they wanted to be blessed
by Jesus. Don't you want to be
00:06:32.69\00:06:35.26
blessed by Jesus? Yes! Yeah! I
sure want to be blessed by Jesus
00:06:35.29\00:06:36.62
Yes! Yeah! I sure want to
be blessed by Jesus. You know I
00:06:36.66\00:06:41.06
think that when we have the
right heart with others we can
00:06:41.10\00:06:45.67
have a clean heart and clean up.
Do you know that there's some
00:06:45.70\00:06:50.07
other things that we need to
clean up? You know there's one
00:06:50.11\00:06:53.01
thing about Aunt Francine. Aunt
Francine likes chocolate and if
00:06:53.04\00:07:00.52
I get it as a gift and let's say
somebody gave me this chocolate
00:07:00.55\00:07:06.15
and I like chocolate. Now if
this is sitting in my house you
00:07:06.19\00:07:10.46
know what happens? It doesn't
last very long. What do you
00:07:10.49\00:07:15.93
think I have to do with this box
of chocolate when I'm ready to
00:07:15.96\00:07:19.60
go...because it's always there
tempting me. What do I have to
00:07:19.63\00:07:23.20
do? Eat it? Eat it! Hide it? Oh
hide it! But if I hide it I know
00:07:23.24\00:07:28.11
where it is. Is that going to
help? You know what I like to do
00:07:28.14\00:07:31.61
I, first of all, say thank you
for the gift. But you sometimes
00:07:31.65\00:07:36.25
when it's something really sweet
or something nice, I like to
00:07:36.28\00:07:39.59
share it. And so maybe a little
bit later we can share it. Would
00:07:39.62\00:07:43.96
you like to have some chocolate?
Okay, how many of you would like
00:07:43.99\00:07:47.00
to have chocolate? Yeah, we'll
put it here. Ginger's ready to
00:07:47.03\00:07:50.23
have chocolate. But you
know what? I have to clean up
00:07:50.27\00:07:54.77
sometimes the things that are...
Because if I eat it all at once
00:07:54.80\00:07:58.54
what's going to happen? You get
sick. I might just get sick and
00:07:58.57\00:08:02.98
that wouldn't be a good thing.
And then I might not feel so
00:08:03.01\00:08:06.11
good. But you know what? We want
to have lots of Jesus don't we?
00:08:06.15\00:08:10.75
So I need to get rid of
different things. Would you
00:08:10.79\00:08:14.46
like to see some Bible scenes.
Yeah! Oh I would like to see
00:08:14.49\00:08:18.69
Jesus and His Bible scene and
see what that was like. Because
00:08:18.73\00:08:23.63
here, woop let's see, here
is Jesus. Oh look at all the
00:08:23.67\00:08:29.04
shekels. Noisy crowd.
00:08:29.07\00:08:40.62
Take these things away. Do not
make my Father's house a house
00:08:40.65\00:08:47.66
of merchandise.
00:08:47.69\00:08:49.02
It is written in the
scriptures, my strong devotion
00:08:49.06\00:08:53.66
to your temple will destroy
you. This was prophesied.
00:08:53.70\00:08:58.43
Show us a miracle as a sign from
God. Prove that you have the
00:09:00.14\00:09:04.37
right to do these things.
00:09:04.41\00:09:07.18
Bring this temple down and in
three days I will raise it up.
00:09:07.21\00:09:10.75
It has taken us 46 years to
build this temple and you think
00:09:10.78\00:09:17.12
you can rebuild it in three days
00:09:17.15\00:09:21.89
Fear not for I will deliver you.
You will glorify my name and
00:09:21.92\00:09:30.53
that's why I came.
00:09:30.57\00:09:32.27
I love you, Jesus.
00:09:32.30\00:09:33.97
I love you too.
00:09:34.00\00:09:35.80
You know there's some animals
that I know about. Do you know
00:09:35.84\00:09:39.97
what kind of animals like to
clean their home too. Have you
00:09:40.01\00:09:44.85
heard of the little ant?
Yeah! Sometimes ants do some
00:09:44.88\00:09:50.39
particular things and let
me show you. You can stay here.
00:09:50.42\00:09:53.52
And I'm going to show you
something very particular about
00:09:53.56\00:09:57.76
some ants. Now how many-body
parts does the ant have? Three?
00:09:57.79\00:10:02.70
Three-body parts. You're right.
It has three body parts. And you
00:10:02.73\00:10:06.63
know actually, they go to the
restroom in a certain place and
00:10:06.67\00:10:10.44
they put the food in a different
place. They want to clean out
00:10:10.47\00:10:12.94
their home. Do you need to
sometimes clean out what's not
00:10:12.97\00:10:17.21
necessary in your life?
Sometimes you know what I have
00:10:17.25\00:10:21.15
to do? I actually take time on
Sabbath and I don't even turn on
00:10:21.18\00:10:28.82
my cell phone. Now sometimes
I watch the Sabbath program
00:10:28.86\00:10:34.53
because you know sometimes
you can't go or you're sick or
00:10:34.56\00:10:39.13
something. I might watch the
program on TV. But for the most
00:10:39.17\00:10:44.21
part I try to turn off my
electronics because you know
00:10:44.24\00:10:47.54
what? I want to be focused on
whom? Jesus. Who do we want to
00:10:47.58\00:10:52.58
clean our heart and to keep
everything clean? God. I do. I'm
00:10:52.61\00:10:56.72
so glad that He wants us to
be clean. So yes we want to have
00:10:56.75\00:11:02.52
the Spirit of Jesus, don't you?
Yes! Yeah! I do. And you know
00:11:02.56\00:11:07.83
sometimes we have to have a
prayer that we want Jesus to
00:11:07.86\00:11:13.13
clean our heart and to take
away what might distract us from
00:11:13.17\00:11:15.04
what's pure, right? Do you think
you're ready for some questions?
00:11:15.07\00:11:19.94
Yes! Are you sure you're ready
for some questions? Yeah! Yes!
00:11:19.97\00:11:25.38
Okay. Let's see. Do you know
what the coin was called in the
00:11:25.41\00:11:31.52
temple? Now hold on. Is it A
- a pound, B - a mite, or C - a
00:11:31.55\00:11:39.09
Shekel. C! Did you get it right
at home? Oh, I'm sure you did.
00:11:39.13\00:11:43.43
How many years did it take for
the temple to be built? Was it
00:11:43.47\00:11:49.67
A - 36 years; B - 46 years
or C - 56 years? B! Ohhh you're
00:11:49.70\00:12:01.75
right. B. If you said it at
home you've got it. Jesus said
00:12:01.78\00:12:06.42
"Destroy this temple" and in how
many days will I raise it up?
00:12:06.45\00:12:09.52
Was it A - 3 days; B - 7 days;
or 10 days. C - 10 days. How
00:12:09.56\00:12:19.93
many days did Jesus say he would
raise it up. A! A, you're right.
00:12:19.97\00:12:25.14
Three days Jesus would raise
it up. What was He talking about
00:12:25.17\00:12:28.71
when He said He would raise it
up? Himself. Himself, and when
00:12:28.74\00:12:33.48
would that happen?
00:12:33.52\00:12:34.85
Um, when He was buried.
00:12:34.88\00:12:38.12
After He was buried and how many
days did it take Him? Three! It
00:12:38.15\00:12:42.56
only took Him three days. And
you're right. These are promises
00:12:42.59\00:12:47.10
and Jesus wants to clean out our
hearts and take out what we need
00:12:47.13\00:12:50.90
to get rid of. So is there
something you can do that might
00:12:50.93\00:12:57.67
need a little cleaning and
a little bit more of Jesus?
00:12:57.71\00:13:02.84
Yeah. You like being in the tree
house? I sure like being in the
00:13:02.88\00:13:06.61
treehouse. And I'm so glad that
you're joining us because we
00:13:06.65\00:13:10.15
want to shine for Jesus, don't
we? Yeah! And Jesus can take out
00:13:10.19\00:13:14.96
whatever is distracting us and
He is willing to help us. All we
00:13:14.99\00:13:18.56
have to do is ask Him, right?
Yeah! Yes! Yes, so I hope you
00:13:18.59\00:13:23.00
will take the time to do that
right? Would you take the time
00:13:23.03\00:13:26.70
at home to do that? Find
something that you can work on
00:13:26.74\00:13:30.87
that you can shine for Jesus
and clean out those things that
00:13:30.91\00:13:33.91
aren't pure. Thank you for
joining us until next time at
00:13:33.94\00:13:38.11
Jesus my Light.
