00:03 It's time to share there's a world out there,
00:07 Looking for a friend like Jesus. 00:10 It's time to share there's a world out there. 00:13 Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:17 Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:20 Kid's time, kid's time, kid's time. 00:24 Hi, boys and girls as you can see 00:26 I have here beside a cross 00:29 and the cross has become a symbol, 00:30 very meaningful to people who love Jesus 00:33 but it wasn't always that way, 00:35 the cross used to be a symbol of death 00:37 for the worst of crimes and the most 00:39 despised criminal you can think of 00:42 would have been sentenced to death 00:43 by actually being nailed to a cross. 00:46 It was a cruel death, a slow death. 00:49 But the kind of death that the society felt 00:51 evil people deserved. 00:54 Then came Jesus, Jesus had never committed 00:57 a crime in his whole perfect life. 01:00 He had never ever done anything bad. 01:02 All he had done was love people, heal them, give 01:06 them encouragement and comfort. Now that isn't 01:08 bad is it? But Jesus was nailed to a cross 01:12 just like the worst of criminals. 01:15 Amazing thing is about this is that he let this 01:18 happen to him. He allowed himself to be 01:21 made fun of, to be called names, 01:23 be beaten and eventually killed in the 01:25 most cruel way imaginable, hanging on a cross. 01:29 You know the flies were buzzing in his open 01:32 wounds and his chest was being crushed 01:34 by his own weight. Why did he do this? 01:38 The answer's almost unbelievable. 01:41 He did it so that you and I could have 01:44 our sins forgiven and be with him 01:46 in heaven someday. 01:48 Can you believe that, he loves us so much boys 01:50 and girls, he just longs to have us 01:53 be with him. Now the cross instead 01:55 of being a symbol of shame it's a symbol of 01:58 Jesus love and a symbol of the hope that we 02:01 have of having our sins forgiven 02:02 and being with him for Jesus came out 02:05 of his grave alive after hanging on that cross. 02:10 Now, he is in heaven loving us and helping 02:12 us to live for him. know I want to live for 02:15 him each and everyday to show him how 02:18 thankful I am for what he did for me, 02:20 don't you? Now we are going to 02:22 hear about this beautiful story of Jesus 02:25 in a few moments. But for right now 02:27 lets go to Ranger Jim, he is going to share 02:30 with us another one of his talks on animals. 02:32 This time, a donkey. 02:41 Hi boys and girls, this is Ranger Jim. 02:44 We have another special friend for you 02:46 to see you today, my friend Barbara 02:48 has a beautiful creature here that 02:50 we are going to be talking about 02:51 and what kind of a creature is this anyway. 02:55 This is a Mediterranean donkey. 02:56 I see a Mediterranean donkey, 03:00 is this full size? I believe she is about as 03:03 big as she will get. And as you told me 03:07 before that she is about two years old. 03:08 Yes. Well, you have this animal 03:11 for a special reason could you tell us about 03:13 that. She is a guard donkey for the sheep. 03:15 A guard donkey. Yes. 03:17 I have heard of guard dogs. 03:18 Well, we have a guard dog also, but this is a 03:20 guard donkey and her job is to chase dogs out 03:25 of our pasture, stray dogs and coyotes, 03:28 anything that would come in, that would try 03:30 to harm the sheep. Her job is to chase them 03:32 away and she does it by instinct, 03:35 natural instinct. Well, do you mean this 03:38 animal is capable of chasing away a coyotes? 03:40 Oh, yes and stomping one if necessary, 03:44 kicking, and when she gets to the right 03:49 age she is just very young right 03:51 now but at this point she is chasing dogs 03:53 and she will chase the coyotes, 03:56 we've had other guard donkeys 03:57 that have done that and they do a very 04:01 good job of protecting. 04:02 Well, is this animal native to the US or is 04:05 it from... I don't think so, I 04:07 don't know a lot about the donkeys. I think 04:09 that she is native to the Mediterranean 04:12 area. And you spoke a 04:14 moment ago I don't know if the cameras 04:16 will show or not but she has a cross, across 04:18 her shoulders and back. 04:20 Yes, yes and legend has it this is the type 04:24 of donkey that Jesus rode when he went in 04:26 to Jerusalem on palm Sunday and I stress 04:29 again legend, that probably was a 04:32 donkey about this size I would think. 04:34 That's very interesting, I see in 04:36 her ears that she has very very heavy hair 04:39 there and that's characteristic of 04:41 animals of that part of the country where 04:43 there's lots of sand blowing and sand 04:45 storms and that affords them 04:46 protection from that and as well I note that 04:49 also that she has very prominent nose hair 04:52 and that's typical of grazing, gives them 04:55 some feeling to the grass and how 04:57 faraway they are in to that, so she is a 05:00 lovely, lovely creature and I noticed the barn 05:03 behind that is a lovely barn and looks like 05:05 quite old. Yes it is. It was built 05:08 in the 1864 - 1865 time period by my 05:11 great grandfather who came here from 05:13 Pennsylvania and he built his home and the 05:17 first big barn called the horse barn in the 05:19 manner and style of barns and homes that 05:22 are found even today in Pennsylvania. It's a 05:25 bank barn with a ramp that goes up in to it, 05:28 where the hay was stored and feed for the 05:32 animals and for the horses. And the 05:34 horses were in the large stalls underneath 05:36 on the other side, very cool stalls. 05:39 This barn has been in continuous use by our 05:42 family for four generations now. 05:44 Well, isn't that wonderful. That's just 05:46 wonderful, tell are there many working 05:49 sheep branches here in this party of the 05:50 country? Well, we call them 05:51 sheep farms around here and we don't 05:54 have, there's perhaps only one farm that is 05:58 devoted that I know of locally that's 06:00 devoted solely to sheep. We have sheep 06:04 and cattle on this farm but one of our main 06:07 enterprises is the sheep enterprise. 06:10 I forgot to ask you, does this creature 06:12 have a name? Daisy. 06:13 Well, that's what we would expect 06:15 wouldn't, to be daisy. Daisy donkey. 06:17 I see Daisy donkey and she has been a 06:19 very good girl because she is a two 06:21 year old and she is not very comfortable 06:24 around people yet and especially around 06:26 television crews and things like that but 06:28 she has been a good girl this afternoon and 06:30 Daisy, we appreciate you coming on for the 06:32 boys and girls and being such a good girl 06:34 and behaving well. So once again boys and 06:40 girls another creature that God has made for 06:43 us to see, very unusual, you don't see 06:44 many of these and I am really surprised I 06:47 have learned something this 06:48 afternoon that I didn't know that you could 06:50 use donkeys to serve as guard dogs to 06:53 protect sheep and to me that's just 06:55 wonderful but we can always learn can't we 06:58 from all of these things and I would 07:00 usually tell you that when Jesus makes 07:02 something he always does a tremendous 07:04 job. So Ranger Jim telling 07:06 you, don't forget to tell Jesus that you 07:09 love him and appreciate him 07:10 because he really does love you. 07:13 Hello, boys and girls, have ever thought 07:23 about how all of us got here? 07:25 Bethany, what does the Bible say? 07:27 In the beginning God created the heaven 07:29 and earth, Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God 07:33 created the heavens and the earth. There is 07:36 a guy by the name of Charles Darwin, who 07:37 didn't agree with that. We would like to sing 07:39 him a song. Mr Darwin, I address 07:46 you to the subject of the song. 07:49 I hope you are not offended when I tell 07:52 you that your wrong. But when you tell me 07:55 that my ancestors a flower or a tree. 08:00 Mr Darwin, I have to disagree 08:05 You said that we were slimy ones and crawl 08:10 out of the sea Though I am no 08:13 scientist I know that wasn't me 08:15 I don't know just what possessed you to say 08:18 all the things you said. 08:20 When Jesus comes, your face will sure be 08:22 red. For it was God who 08:25 formed me from the dust and gave my 08:27 body a shape, it is he that I descended from 08:31 and that's what made me. It is he that loves 08:34 me, in case you need, this much I know is 08:37 true and Mr. Darwin, Jesus Christ loves 08:40 you. I have a little dog at 08:46 home, he's got a lot to give though he is my 08:49 little friend, he is not my relative 08:52 When I go in to the zoo to look at all the 08:55 living things it is just to visit 08:57 not a family gathering. 08:59 For it was God who formed me from the 09:03 dust and gave my body a shape, it is he 09:06 that I descended from and that's what made 09:08 me. It is he that loves me, in case you need, 09:12 this much I know is true and Mr. Darwin, 09:15 Jesus Christ loves you. 09:20 I cannot condemn you for the things you try 09:23 to say All I know is you and 09:26 I were never made that way and though 09:29 my little furry friend show similarities 09:32 Lets not make a monkey out of me. 09:37 Mr Darwin, when the life and dead in 09:41 heaven's court is tried I hope you change the 09:44 tune of your sayings sometime before you 09:47 die 'Cause when Jesus 09:49 comes he is going to take his children off 09:52 the ground and you are just going to have 09:54 to stick around For it was God who 09:58 formed me from the dust and gave my 10:00 body a shape, it is he that I descended from 10:04 and that's what made me. It is he that loves 10:07 me, in case you need this much I know is 10:09 true and Mr. Darwin, Mr. Darwin, Jesus 10:16 Christ loves you. You want a banana. 10:42 I've got a home in glory land that out- 10:44 shines the sun. I've got a home in 10:47 glory land that out -shines the sun. 10:50 I've got a home in glory land that out- 10:53 shines the sun.

You see you might 12:40 not know me but my name is Nicodemus 12:43 and I used to be very wealthy man. I was a 12:46 leader of the Jews but something happened 12:48 to me one special night that I wanted 12:50 tell you about that changed all that. 12:53 You see there was a man that came, Jesus 12:57 Christ of Nazareth, and he came to our 13:00 little town. He had started speaking on 13:02 the hillsides around and I went to listen to 13:06 him, he was very interesting. He was 13:09 teaching like I never heard before and I 13:12 thought who is this person here. I want to 13:15 find out more about this person. Not long 13:18 after that he came to the temple one day 13:20 and started turning up tables and made a 13:23 whip and started shouting and telling 13:25 all the people to leave. Oh my, this 13:28 person is not afraid of anybody; I really got 13:31 to get to know him so I made plans to meet 13:34 this Jesus Christ of Nazareth. 13:36 So, but I thought I am a wealthy important 13:39 person I can't go talk to a poor insignificant 13:44 person, that would be too humiliating. So I 13:47 thought well, I will go at night time, so I 13:51 went off one night and I knew where he 13:55 was staying, out there with his disciples. So 13:58 I went up to him and I saw him I said, Rabbi, 14:02 teacher, we know that you are from God. No 14:05 one could do the things that you do, 14:07 lest you be from God. And he looked at me 14:10 and he said. Truly I tell you, you must be 14:14 born again. I said what? What am I 14:18 supposed to do? Mom, mom I have to 14:21 be born again. No that's not... 14:25 I can't go into my mom's tummy and be 14:28 born again. And he assured me, no that's 14:31 not what he was talking about? Not 14:34 that kind of born again. You must be 14:36 born of the water and of the spirit. That 14:40 really got my mind to thinking, what could 14:41 this mean born of the water and the spirit. 14:43 So, I started thinking the water must have 14:49 something do with John the Baptist. 14:50 'Cause John the Baptist used to 14:52 baptize everybody in the water. So, I go 14:54 yeah that means you got to change your 14:56 life and you have got to be renewed, re- 14:58 cleansed. But the spirit I didn't really 15:01 understand what that was. 15:03 So, Jesus started to talk to about the 15:05 spirit. So it's like the wind, it blows you 15:08 can't see it but it goes here and there. And 15:11 he was kind of saying, how your supposed to 15:13 be so intelligent, ruler of the Jews and all 15:16 this and you don't even understand 15:17 spiritual things and at that moment I 15:20 realized I didn't. And with me with all my 15:23 education and all my wealth this person 15:26 actually knew more than I did. 15:27 Then I wondered well, what's he going 15:30 to say next I am trying to figure this 15:32 thing out. I am not figuring out very well. 15:34 He said now you remember when 15:37 Moses lifted up the serpent in the 15:39 wilderness. And I remember that when 15:41 Moses lifted up the serpent on his staff in 15:44 the world in his, if you looked at that 15:45 serpent you got bit by a snake you wouldn't 15:47 die. So I thought wow, 15:50 that's an interesting thing to say, what 15:53 about it? He goes, so must the son of man 15:56 be lifted up? What was he talking about? 16:00 So, I thought again and then he said the 16:05 most amazing thing I ever heard. He said, 16:08 "For God so loved the world that he gave his 16:12 only begotten son that whosoever believes in 16:15 him should not perish but have ever lasting 16:18 life." I had never heard 16:21 anything like this before. Was he 16:25 suggesting to me that he was God himself, 16:28 that he was the son of man? I just was taken 16:32 back, I couldn't understand, he went 16:34 on to talk about coming to the light, 16:37 not living in darkness. Was I living in 16:40 darkness? Well, it wasn't soon after that 16:44 night that I heard the Pharisees in the 16:48 Sanhedrin council started counseling to 16:50 kill this Jesus. I said no, no, no, we 16:53 don't want to kill this Jesus. We don't know 16:56 about him, he is probably from God. I 16:59 was a little scared about what to say but 17:01 I stood up for him and I said no, we don't 17:03 want to be killing this Jesus. They were sure 17:06 abet on going out and that day they wanted 17:09 to kill him. I said no, we don't 17:11 know he is from God or not. So, I thought 17:17 well, what can I do to keep them from 17:20 killing him. Well, I am going to stand up 17:23 for him until I've really decided what I 17:25 think about him and one day I came to the 17:28 temple, what would you know they are 17:31 planning. They have already given 17:34 permission to kill him, and he is being 17:37 killed at that very moment. I said what, I 17:39 ran out of the temple. I went through the 17:41 city and town and all the people are 17:43 crowded up to the little hill of Golgotha 17:46 and there on the hill raised up is Jesus 17:50 nailed to a cross. And all of a sudden I 17:53 realized the words that he said that night 17:56 that I met with him, if I be lifted up like the 18:00 serpent in the wilderness I will draw 18:03 men unto me and at that moment I 18:07 realized he was the Messiah, he was the 18:10 son of God and I gave my heart to him and I 18:14 was filled with peace at that moment and I 18:16 realized that all this wealth and this fame, 18:19 this knowledge meant nothing to me. 18:21 I wanted to spread this good news of 18:24 what Jesus had meant and I realized that 18:27 what that born again meant that I would re- 18:29 give my life over to him and that I would 18:33 not be living in this world anymore but in 18:36 the spiritual world and that's when I 18:38 started selling my fancy clothes, giving 18:41 my wealth to help the disciples. 18:43 I met Peter and James and John. I helped 18:46 them, I started giving money to them and 18:48 find the other Christians and we 18:50 started spreading this good news around 18:52 and that's what I am doing today. 18:54 I go from place to place, sharing my 18:57 wealth with whoever I can, helping them and 19:00 telling about that night that I met Jesus 19:02 and what he said to me. 19:04 And I think its now about time that I 19:06 would be moving on, so I have to say 19:09 goodbye boys and girls. It was nice 19:10 talking to you and I hope that someday 19:13 you'll realize those words re-born again. 19:16 Bye, bye now. Will see you later. 19:37 O'Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary 19:43 Pure and holy, tried and true 20:25 With thanksgiving, I'll be a living Sanctuary for You 21:06 I've Been Redeemed (I've been redeemed) 21:09 By the Blood of the Lamb (By the blood of the Lamb) 21:12 I've been redeemed (I've been redeemed) 21:15 By the blood of the Lamb I've been redeemed by 21:20 the blood of the Lamb Saved and sanctified I am 21:25 All my sins are washed away 21:34 I've been redeemed I've Been Redeemed 21:36 (I've been redeemed) By the Blood of the Lamb 21:39 (By the blood of the Lamb) I've been redeemed 21:42 (I've been redeemed) By the blood of the Lamb 21:45 I've been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb 21:48 Filled with the Holy Ghost I am 21:52 All my sins are washed away, I've 22:07 been redeemed. I've Been Redeemed 22:10 (I've been redeemed) By the Blood of the Lamb 22:15 (By the blood of the Lamb) I've been redeemed 22:16 (I've been redeemed) By the blood of the Lamb 22:19 I've been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, 22:22 Filled with the Holy Ghost I am 22:25 All my sins are washed away, I've been redeemed. 22:30 Thank you for that beautiful song I've 22:50 been redeemed.

Yes, when my friends 23:32 come over and they spend a night or they 23:34 just come over for a day and they want to 23:36 do different things like watch a certain 23:39 movie that is unacceptable for kids 23:44 to watch and different things like that, I just 23:47 asked them if they wanted to watch 23:49 different movie like one about Jesus or... 23:52 Some of these that you have right here.Yes. 23:55 You've got one right here that who is Jesus 23:59 and now when you wanted to watch a 24:00 Bible video what did your friends say, they 24:01 don't know, I don't want to watch that or you... 24:03 Well, they usually give it a chance and if 24:06 they don't like it, they will just start doing 24:08 something else, but they usually give it 24:11 one chance and so when they spend a 24:15 night with me, we have worship and 24:19 then we go into the normal thing which 24:23 worship for us is just singing and... 24:26 We're talking about worshiping God 24:28 right?Yes.Okay Well, we sing and we 24:31 read the Bible in different devotions 24:34 and then we pray and we go into our normal 24:40 routine which is studying the Bible or 24:43 doing our sabbath lesson which is about 24:46 the Bible and then we. Your friends think 24:50 you're pretty weird to be doing this or are 24:52 they kind of interested in. 24:55 Well, they most of the time like to do what 24:57 they want to do if they come over and 24:59 watch what I'm doing and read it with me 25:01 and there is a game with everyone to help 25:04 you learn and they always enjoy doing 25:06 that with me and sometimes they have 25:13 different coloring pages, so I give them 25:15 one and they really enjoy like to do that 25:17 and so.
