00:00:01.36\00:00:06.50
When my heart begins
to fear He is my Light.
00:00:06.53\00:00:09.20
I can smile for He
is near, Jesus my Light.
00:00:09.24\00:00:14.24
When I'm blue and
feeling sad Jesus my Light.
00:00:14.28\00:00:18.55
He reminds me I can
be glad, Jesus my Light.
00:00:18.58\00:00:23.12
He is the Light,
Yes, Jesus my Light.
00:00:23.15\00:00:27.76
In Him is no
darkness, In Him is no night.
00:00:27.79\00:00:32.39
Wherever He leads me
He makes my way bright
00:00:32.43\00:00:37.47
I'll shine for
Jesus. Jesus my Light.
00:00:37.50\00:00:41.60
Here comes Aunt Francine.
00:00:41.64\00:00:44.04
Hi kids. I'm so glad to see you.
How are you? Hi Ben. We're glad
00:00:44.07\00:00:51.91
to see you. I always enjoy your
music. Thank you. Thank you that
00:00:51.95\00:00:57.05
you can take some time here to
be with us. Absolutely. I'm so
00:00:57.09\00:01:00.52
delighted that we're here
learning about Jesus. This is
00:01:00.56\00:01:03.93
Jesus My Light, I'm Aunt
Francine and this is Little
00:01:03.96\00:01:07.50
Ginger. You know there's some
people that seem like they go
00:01:07.53\00:01:11.37
around and they don't have the
vision of Christ. Hmm. Sometimes
00:01:11.40\00:01:16.81
we need new eyes to see things
in a different perspective
00:01:16.84\00:01:20.61
which reminds me of
another song that we could sing:
00:01:20.64\00:01:23.91
Open the Eyes of My Heart.
00:01:23.95\00:01:25.51
Sounds good.
00:01:25.55\00:01:26.88
Do we need to open the eyes of
our heart? Yeah! Let's sing it
00:01:26.92\00:01:29.88
together.
00:01:29.92\00:01:31.25
¤ ¤
00:01:31.29\00:01:39.06
Oh I do want to see Jesus some
day. I'm so looking forward to
00:02:44.09\00:02:47.46
that. Are you kids ready at home
for another Bible story? Yeah!
00:02:47.50\00:02:53.60
Yes, I hope so. Let's get ready.
00:02:53.64\00:02:57.77
¤ ¤
00:02:57.81\00:03:01.24
Jesus has been healing everyone
that came to Him. He didn't
00:03:01.28\00:03:05.08
want to deny anyone. And
you know He had just finished
00:03:05.11\00:03:09.48
healing a girl, more like
raising a girl from the dead.
00:03:09.52\00:03:14.32
And so He was walking to
Capernaum and there in Capernaum
00:03:14.36\00:03:18.73
some men were following Him. And
you know what it was as if Jesus
00:03:18.76\00:03:23.20
was ignoring them. Have you ever
heard of Jesus ignoring someone?
00:03:23.23\00:03:28.14
No, no. Why would Jesus do that?
You know why. I believe that
00:03:28.17\00:03:34.41
it's possible that the Pharisees
were trying to cause Him
00:03:34.44\00:03:38.38
trouble. And so Jesus was trying
to pretend that He was ignoring
00:03:38.41\00:03:43.25
them but He wasn't really
ignoring them because He knew
00:03:43.28\00:03:45.69
what they would do right?
Because Jesus knows everything.
00:03:45.72\00:03:48.52
Everything about us. So they
we're following Jesus regardless
00:03:48.56\00:03:51.99
that Jesus didn't even turn
around. So when they spent some
00:03:52.03\00:03:57.03
time...Again Jesus wanted to
show His love for them. And you
00:03:57.07\00:04:00.40
know He talked about people that
are spiritually blind. Are you
00:04:00.44\00:04:05.27
blind sometimes. Sometimes
we don't see things that your
00:04:05.31\00:04:08.18
parents see. Have you noticed
that? Yeah, sometimes your
00:04:08.21\00:04:12.11
parents know more things than
we do. And you know when we tell
00:04:12.15\00:04:17.22
others we want to know when
to talk and when not to talk. Is
00:04:17.25\00:04:21.52
that hard sometimes? Yeah. Some
of us...How many of you like to
00:04:21.56\00:04:25.19
talk all the time and some of us
don't want to say a word at all.
00:04:25.23\00:04:30.47
Sometimes that's okay. Because
you know, Jesus can tell us when
00:04:30.50\00:04:36.20
we should be talking and when
it's not a good time to talk.
00:04:36.24\00:04:39.64
Can you imagine that? Sometimes
we need to know when to talk and
00:04:39.67\00:04:43.71
when to be silent. So Jesus was
spending time with these people
00:04:43.75\00:04:47.78
and these Pharisees wanted to
cause a lot of trouble. And so
00:04:47.82\00:04:51.25
when they were there with Jesus
they loved to be with Jesus. And
00:04:51.29\00:04:54.69
you know let's go to our Bible
pictures. Would you like to see
00:04:54.72\00:04:58.73
our Bible pictures. Yeah! ¤ ¤
00:04:58.76\00:05:08.10
And let's see our Bible pictures
(Indistinct chatter.) Here we go
00:05:08.14\00:05:13.27
These are pictures that I
love to see. See here. They're
00:05:13.31\00:05:16.85
following Jesus. ¤ ¤
00:05:16.88\00:05:40.60
Son of David, Son of
David. Have mercy on us Lord.
00:05:40.64\00:05:43.47
Do you believe that
I am able to do this?
00:05:43.51\00:05:48.71
Yes Lord, Of course, Lord.
00:05:48.74\00:05:51.58
According to your
faith let it be to you.
00:05:51.61\00:05:53.65
¤ ¤
00:05:53.68\00:06:04.66
See that no one knows it.
00:06:04.69\00:06:08.63
Thank you, Thank
you. Thank you, Thank you.
00:06:08.66\00:06:12.13
And now they have new sight.
They have a new way of looking
00:06:12.17\00:06:17.57
at things. Now I don't know
about you but do you think these
00:06:17.61\00:06:21.41
people were happy? Um-huh. Yeah.
It was wonderful and so they
00:06:21.44\00:06:25.05
were full of joy. And so you
know, I don't know if you know
00:06:25.08\00:06:27.42
if you know something about some
people that are blind. Did you
00:06:27.45\00:06:33.72
know that sometimes blind people
(You can stay here, you can stay
00:06:33.76\00:06:37.03
here) That sometimes there are
blind people okay and they don't
00:06:37.06\00:06:43.20
see very well and yet they use
some other senses. What else can
00:06:43.23\00:06:47.10
you use. If you can't see
what are your other four senses.
00:06:47.14\00:06:50.71
Your ears, your touch, what else
Your smell and your taste. Taste
00:06:50.74\00:06:59.11
you're right. So there's a story
about a man that was in a tall
00:06:59.15\00:07:06.19
building and he had his seeing
eye dog with him. And you know
00:07:06.22\00:07:10.39
what happened? Something very
interesting happened. There was
00:07:10.43\00:07:15.40
a big fire in this building and
everybody couldn't see where to
00:07:15.43\00:07:20.50
go because the smoke was so
thick. No one knew where to go.
00:07:20.54\00:07:24.54
But you know what between the
man and the dog they were able
00:07:24.57\00:07:29.34
to lead some people out
from that fiery furnace. Can you
00:07:29.38\00:07:33.62
imagine that, that fiery
building. And so they were able
00:07:33.65\00:07:37.82
to use their other senses so
we don't want to be blinded by
00:07:37.85\00:07:42.09
certain things. We want to be
able to see through other senses
00:07:42.12\00:07:46.73
know the Bible talks about being
spiritually blind. Do you want
00:07:46.76\00:07:51.10
to be spiritually blind? Mm-mmm.
No way. I don't want to be
00:07:51.13\00:07:55.67
spiritually blind. You know
there's some animals in nature
00:07:55.70\00:07:59.74
that are somewhat blind. Do you
know what animal...Whoa let me
00:07:59.77\00:08:05.98
go back to my picture here. What
is it? This is a mole and you
00:08:06.01\00:08:12.35
know moles are born blind. Yeah
sometimes kittens or puppies
00:08:12.39\00:08:17.59
were born blind but you
know what. They use their other
00:08:17.63\00:08:19.89
senses and what do
you think these moles eat?
00:08:19.93\00:08:21.83
They eat worms.
00:08:21.86\00:08:23.70
They eat worms and grubs and
they almost eat between 70 to
00:08:23.73\00:08:28.37
100 percent of their body weight
each day. They're constantly
00:08:28.40\00:08:32.57
eating under the ground.
Now do you think they have good
00:08:32.61\00:08:35.84
eyesight when they go up on top
of the ground? Un-hmm. No they
00:08:35.88\00:08:40.05
don't have a good eyesight
at all because they're going
00:08:40.08\00:08:42.85
through all over the place.
And you know sometimes we make a
00:08:42.88\00:08:48.59
mess of things because we don't
see clearly. How can we see
00:08:48.62\00:08:52.33
clearly? God's help. With God's
help. What do we need to do?
00:08:52.36\00:08:56.16
(Indistinct chatter) Pray
about it because you know what
00:08:56.20\00:08:59.93
sometimes we look with what we
can see and we forget about the
00:08:59.97\00:09:04.84
things that we cannot see. What
are some things that we cannot
00:09:04.87\00:09:07.38
see? We talked about some on
some on some other programs, but
00:09:07.41\00:09:11.31
what are some things that we
cannot see but we know are there
00:09:11.35\00:09:15.08
Yes, Rick. Um, God. God. We know
God is there. How do we know God
00:09:15.12\00:09:20.52
is there?
00:09:20.56\00:09:21.89
Because we talk to Him every day
00:09:21.92\00:09:23.26
We talk to Him each day, but
how do we know that He's there?
00:09:23.29\00:09:26.49
His word. By His word. And
you know what? Through your life
00:09:26.53\00:09:30.53
Jesus is constantly and God is
constantly working on us, right?
00:09:30.57\00:09:34.47
And we can see evidence of
it just like we can see the
00:09:34.50\00:09:37.61
evidence of the Holy Spirit
right? You're right. So I don't
00:09:37.64\00:09:41.48
want to be spiritually blind. I
want to be able to see with new
00:09:41.51\00:09:45.48
eyes. Don't you want to see?
Some of us need glasses, right?
00:09:45.51\00:09:48.85
What happens when you take off
your glasses? Can you see much?
00:09:48.88\00:09:52.42
Wow! I can't see much if I'm
not wearing contacts or glasses.
00:09:52.45\00:09:56.42
But you know what, Jesus wants
us to be able to see. And you
00:09:56.46\00:10:03.16
know what, there's lots of
things that Jesus wants us to do
00:10:03.20\00:10:04.53
and it seemed like Satan was
constantly busy. And that's why
00:10:04.57\00:10:07.47
Jesus was going into the
building. Did you see that?
00:10:07.50\00:10:11.17
Remember the story?
Because Jesus was going into the
00:10:11.21\00:10:15.31
building because so many
Pharisees were there trying to
00:10:15.34\00:10:19.31
cause trouble for Jesus. But He
knew that and He didn't want His
00:10:19.35\00:10:25.12
ministry to be cut short. So
sometimes we need to know when
00:10:25.15\00:10:29.09
to speak up, right, when to say
something and when not to talk.
00:10:29.12\00:10:33.60
And so Jesus knew their hearts
and knew that they would come
00:10:33.63\00:10:37.07
And you know Jesus has all the
wisdom in the world. Don't you
00:10:37.10\00:10:39.97
want His wisdom. Yes. I want
Jesus to live for us. You know
00:10:40.00\00:10:44.97
we need to find ways that we can
witness for Jesus. I don't want
00:10:45.01\00:10:49.21
be like the mole that eats a lot
and lot and lot. But I want to
00:10:49.24\00:10:54.85
have new eyesight with Jesus.
When we help others we should
00:10:54.88\00:11:00.36
be able to know when it's good
to help without them asking.
00:11:00.39\00:11:07.20
How do you know
when somebody needs help?
00:11:07.23\00:11:09.63
Right when they fall down.
00:11:09.66\00:11:11.60
When they fall down. Oh let me
help you. You're right. You know
00:11:11.63\00:11:15.70
sometimes when we ask Jesus
early in the morning. We can say
00:11:15.74\00:11:18.97
Jesus I need to know how to help
someone today. Have you ever
00:11:19.01\00:11:22.44
prayed that prayer before.
That's a hard prayer sometimes
00:11:22.48\00:11:26.05
because you know what when I say
Lord can you empty all of me and
00:11:26.08\00:11:30.39
let it be of you. Sometimes
Jesus puts things in his path
00:11:30.42\00:11:36.56
just like Satan was very often
trying to keep Jesus busy and
00:11:36.59\00:11:40.40
get you side tracked. Do
you think he's trying to get you
00:11:40.43\00:11:43.00
sidetracked too? Uh-huh. He is
He's constantly getting you side
00:11:43.03\00:11:46.07
tracked but you know what when
you keep your eyes fixed on His
00:11:46.10\00:11:50.54
word okay, and write it into
your heart you know that you can
00:11:50.57\00:11:55.41
have new eyesight. Not physical
eyesight but spiritual eyesight.
00:11:55.44\00:12:00.48
Are you folks ready for some
questions? Yeah! Oh I'm glad
00:12:00.52\00:12:05.12
you're so excited. What does
blasphemy mean? Now we know that
00:12:05.15\00:12:11.23
these Pharisees were
saying Oh! It mean...
00:12:11.26\00:12:14.06
It means to take
God's name in vain.
00:12:14.10\00:12:18.70
Taking God's name in vain.
Or _. Okay. How about let's
00:12:18.73\00:12:23.00
give you some questions? Are
you ready for some questions? It
00:12:23.04\00:12:25.34
says: How about singing
or praises; B - Insulting or
00:12:25.37\00:12:31.45
disrespecting God's character;
or C - Worshiping God. Which one
00:12:31.48\00:12:36.72
do you think it is? If you said
B, you're correct. Number two:
00:12:36.75\00:12:41.16
What did the two blind men say
to Jesus? A - Son of David have
00:12:41.19\00:12:47.80
mercy on us; B - Jesus heal us!
or C - Son of God wait for us!
00:12:47.83\00:12:54.17
Did you get it at home? If you
got A you're right. How about
00:12:54.20\00:13:00.58
question number three: Why do
you think that Jesus told them
00:13:00.61\00:13:04.58
"see that no one knows it"?
Ooo. That's a tough one. Was it
00:13:04.61\00:13:09.48
A - To test the men; B - So
the men would tell everyone; or
00:13:09.52\00:13:14.99
C - Because it would make it
harder to share about God's love
00:13:15.02\00:13:18.53
Now this one's a tricky one. Do
you know what it is? I thought
00:13:18.56\00:13:23.30
it would be C but really I think
it's all of them. You see the
00:13:23.33\00:13:26.63
more we spend time with God the
more clearly we can see His will
00:13:26.67\00:13:31.44
for us. I hope you can join
us for another Jesus My Light.
