Yes, He had to. 00:01:45.80\00:01:47.20 You think He had favorite subjects in school? 00:01:47.24\00:01:50.57 And maybe one He didn't like so well, huh? 00:01:50.61\00:01:53.27 Okay. What about that? 00:01:53.31\00:01:54.94 Do you think Jesus like to lay on a grassy knoll 00:01:54.98\00:01:57.35 and look up at a blue sky and see the clouds go by 00:01:57.38\00:02:00.85 and think that one looks like a lamb or something? 00:02:00.88\00:02:03.65 I believe He did. 00:02:03.69\00:02:05.15 You think Jesus had a very special friend? 00:02:05.19\00:02:08.29 Yes, I think the term is now to sort of hang with. 00:02:08.32\00:02:11.69 I think that's true. 00:02:11.73\00:02:13.06 And you know my grandmother once told me 00:02:13.09\00:02:14.53 that she knew that Jesus like to run 00:02:14.56\00:02:16.50 through every mud puddle after a rain 00:02:16.53\00:02:18.43 because every boy likes to do that. 00:02:18.47\00:02:20.70 Now I don't know about the theology of that 00:02:20.74\00:02:22.10 but I like the idea, don't you? 00:02:22.14\00:02:23.97 Because I think most girls like to do that too, don't you? 00:02:24.01\00:02:27.58 And so another question that I like to ask 00:02:27.61\00:02:29.31 boys and girls, do you think Jesus had a pet? 00:02:29.34\00:02:31.81 Because you see, that's the first thing 00:02:31.85\00:02:33.82 that we love after mother and father, 00:02:33.85\00:02:35.55 and our brothers and sisters, 00:02:35.58\00:02:36.99 we learn to love our pet, don't we? 00:02:37.02\00:02:38.89 It may be a parakeet or cat or as you can see here today, 00:02:38.92\00:02:42.19 we have some special pets that we want to talk about. 00:02:42.22\00:02:45.46 And we have, 00:02:45.49\00:02:46.83 my two granddaughters are here today 00:02:46.86\00:02:48.33 and this little young lady's name is... 00:02:48.36\00:02:50.10 Sammy. 00:02:50.13\00:02:51.47 And this is... 00:02:51.50\00:02:52.83 Rachel. 00:02:52.87\00:02:54.20 And are these sisters, they're goats? 00:02:54.24\00:02:56.67 No. Sister and brother. 00:02:56.71\00:02:58.77 They're what? 00:02:58.81\00:03:00.14 Sister and brother. 00:03:00.18\00:03:01.51 And this one's name is... 00:03:01.54\00:03:02.88 Bridget. 00:03:02.91\00:03:04.25 This one is Bobby. 00:03:04.28\00:03:05.61 And they are pigmy goats. 00:03:05.65\00:03:07.05 Now do these goats get much larger than this? 00:03:07.08\00:03:09.55 A little. 00:03:09.58\00:03:10.92 A little bit. 00:03:10.95\00:03:12.29 Okay, but they're practically grown in size, aren't they? 00:03:12.32\00:03:14.36 Pigmy goats, my friends, boys and girls, 00:03:14.39\00:03:16.52 are from native of Africa 00:03:16.56\00:03:18.76 and they were spread throughout the world by whalers. 00:03:18.79\00:03:21.40 They learn they could take these tiny small goats aboard 00:03:21.43\00:03:23.70 their sailing vessel 00:03:23.73\00:03:25.07 and they could have their own dairy. 00:03:25.10\00:03:27.40 They could have goat's milk and they could have cheese 00:03:27.44\00:03:29.47 and things of that nature, didn't take much to feed them, 00:03:29.50\00:03:31.74 they will eat ragweeds, 00:03:31.77\00:03:33.38 cocklebur, honeysuckle, almost anything. 00:03:33.41\00:03:36.24 And they can survive on hay 00:03:36.28\00:03:38.38 that other animals could not survive on. 00:03:38.41\00:03:40.02 So they took them with them and traveled, 00:03:40.05\00:03:41.95 had their own fresh milk and cheese 00:03:41.98\00:03:43.99 and had the pigmy goats with them. 00:03:44.02\00:03:45.55 And so some whaling vessels still use this technique. 00:03:45.59\00:03:48.66 And so they are a very interesting creature, 00:03:48.69\00:03:51.13 they like to run, and jump, and chase across the pasture 00:03:51.16\00:03:54.20 and any fence is a challenge, they want to get outside. 00:03:54.23\00:03:56.73 They don't run away, 00:03:56.77\00:03:58.10 they just want to get on the other side of the fence 00:03:58.13\00:03:59.93 and nibble away and eat the weeds. 00:03:59.97\00:04:01.30 And they don't get too far from home 00:04:01.34\00:04:02.80 because then they were too far, 00:04:02.84\00:04:04.17 get too far for the regular food. 00:04:04.21\00:04:06.27 And mother and dad takes care of these goats everyday, 00:04:06.31\00:04:08.81 they go down and feed them at the barn, right? 00:04:08.84\00:04:11.01 No, we do. 00:04:11.05\00:04:12.65 Oh, Well, even when it's cold and bad? 00:04:12.68\00:04:14.75 Yup. Okay. 00:04:14.78\00:04:16.58 Just like Ranger Jim always tells you, if you have a pet, 00:04:16.62\00:04:19.69 Jesus expects us to take good care of it, doesn't He? 00:04:19.72\00:04:22.39 We have my friend, Zackery here today. 00:04:22.42\00:04:24.36 And I have difficulty speaking the name of the sheep 00:04:24.39\00:04:28.46 but he does it very well. 00:04:28.50\00:04:29.83 He's going to do it slowly for Ranger Jim 00:04:29.86\00:04:31.60 so I can remember. 00:04:31.63\00:04:32.97 Would you say it for me? 00:04:33.00\00:04:34.34 Karakul. 00:04:34.37\00:04:35.70 Karakul sheep and this is very, very old breed of sheep. 00:04:35.74\00:04:39.21 We can count this back to 600 or 800 years before Christ. 00:04:39.24\00:04:43.28 And they were an unusual sheep, 00:04:43.31\00:04:44.71 and the fact that they are a broad tailed sheep. 00:04:44.75\00:04:47.42 If we have the time, boys and girls, 00:04:47.45\00:04:48.95 today to spread their tail out, their tail is this wide, 00:04:48.98\00:04:51.79 and it's quite thick. 00:04:51.82\00:04:53.66 And this serves the same purpose 00:04:53.69\00:04:55.52 as does the humps on a camel's back. 00:04:55.56\00:04:58.46 It is stored fat or nutrition, 00:04:58.49\00:05:01.16 this sheep can survive in an area 00:05:01.20\00:05:03.67 where no other sheep of any breed can survive. 00:05:03.70\00:05:06.94 They have very hard teeth. 00:05:06.97\00:05:09.60 The cause of the demise of the sheep is 00:05:09.64\00:05:11.61 that its teeth wear out from chewing 00:05:11.64\00:05:13.88 and this sheep has very hard teeth. 00:05:13.91\00:05:16.48 It also has the habit of grinding its teeth. 00:05:16.51\00:05:18.75 I've been up here sort of, cringing 00:05:18.78\00:05:20.12 because a couple of times, it's been going... 00:05:20.15\00:05:23.59 And so, but this is a very, very interesting creature. 00:05:23.62\00:05:27.49 They are quite rare. 00:05:27.52\00:05:28.86 In fact, they're only about 1200 of these 00:05:28.89\00:05:30.46 in the whole United States. 00:05:30.49\00:05:32.19 And Zack has sheep and do you show them in forage? 00:05:32.23\00:05:35.00 Yes.

It was a miracle. 00:16:24.18\00:16:25.71 They're so old. 00:16:25.75\00:16:27.48 And an angel came to Zachariah 00:16:27.52\00:16:29.38 before the baby was born to tell them 00:16:29.42\00:16:31.49 to name their son John 00:16:31.52\00:16:32.85 and that he'll prepare the way for the Lord. 00:16:32.89\00:16:35.29 Doesn't this sound like this baby John 00:16:35.32\00:16:37.46 will prepare the way for the Messiah? 00:16:37.49\00:16:39.63 Well, it sure sounds like 00:16:39.66\00:16:41.00 it's time for the Messiah to come real, real soon. 00:16:41.03\00:16:44.07 I bring you news of great joy to all people. 00:16:44.10\00:16:49.34 For unto you is born this day in the city of David, 00:16:49.37\00:16:54.31 a Savior who is Christ, the Lord, 00:16:54.34\00:16:58.55 and this is how you will recognize Him. 00:16:58.58\00:17:01.52 You will find the baby wrapped in clothes lying in the manger. 00:17:01.55\00:17:07.26 Joy to the world 00:17:15.23\00:17:17.63 Joy to the world the Lord is come 00:17:26.37\00:17:31.71 Let earth receive her King 00:17:31.75\00:17:37.29 Let every heart prepare Him room 00:17:37.32\00:17:42.69 And heaven and nature sing Heaven and nature sing 00:17:42.72\00:17:48.13 And heaven, heaven, nature sing 00:17:48.16\00:17:53.57 Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns 00:17:57.94\00:18:03.21 Let men their songs employ 00:18:03.24\00:18:08.62 While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains 00:18:08.65\00:18:14.16 Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy 00:18:14.19\00:18:19.69 Repeat, repeat the sounding joy 00:18:19.73\00:18:24.87 He rules the world with truth and grace 00:18:29.14\00:18:34.44 And makes the nations prove 00:18:34.48\00:18:39.61 The glories of His righteousness 00:18:39.65\00:18:45.09 And wonders of His love And wonders of His love 00:18:45.12\00:18:50.13 And wonders, wonders of His love 00:18:50.16\00:18:55.63 And wonders, wonders of His love 00:18:55.66\00:19:02.14 Don't you wish you could have been 00:22:35.98\00:22:37.42 on the hillside that night 00:22:37.45\00:22:39.02 when the angels came to the shepherds 00:22:39.05\00:22:41.16 and to tell them about the new born king? 00:22:41.19\00:22:43.83 I would have loved to hear the angels singing 00:22:43.86\00:22:45.89 as they welcomed Jesus to this earth. 00:22:45.93\00:22:48.30 How much He must have loved us 00:22:48.33\00:22:50.37 to give up heaven and come to this world? 00:22:50.40\00:22:52.97 What a holy and special night that was. 00:22:53.00\00:22:56.34 The angel said, "Thou shall call His name Jesus 00:26:32.62\00:26:35.66 because He will save the people from their sins." 00:26:35.69\00:26:38.33 Jesus, what a beautiful name. 00:26:38.36\00:26:40.70 He is to be the Savior of the world. 00:26:44.87\00:26:47.07 Joseph, just look at Him, 00:26:47.10\00:26:48.60 isn't He the most beautiful baby 00:26:48.64\00:26:50.01 you've ever seen?
