Hey, kids, it's time for Sabbath
School. Grab your Bibles and
00:00:01.96\00:00:03.30
let's go.
00:00:03.33\00:00:04.67
Welcome back to Sabbath School.
I am so glad that you're here
00:00:31.16\00:00:33.93
with us again today. (Miss
Ruthie) We have an exciting
00:00:33.96\00:00:37.23
program with our sharing time.
We have a really fun mission
00:00:37.27\00:00:40.87
story and our Bible story with
Miss Michelle is about who our
00:00:40.90\00:00:45.54
neighbor is. So before we get
to that, let's sing some praises
00:00:45.57\00:00:49.71
to Jesus. So join me in singing.
00:00:49.74\00:00:52.95
Hello boys and girls. My name
is Sue Hinkle and I want to tell
00:06:00.82\00:06:05.19
you a story that comes from
Adventist World Radio. Adventist
00:06:05.23\00:06:10.50
World Radio loves to share Jesus
with people all around the world
00:06:10.53\00:06:15.54
You know there's so many people
that have never heard about
00:06:15.57\00:06:19.27
Jesus. And one time there was
a very special Sabbath School
00:06:19.31\00:06:24.51
class. Do you have a very
special Sabbath School class
00:06:24.55\00:06:27.85
too? Well this Sabbath School
class had an idea. They wanted
00:06:27.88\00:06:33.29
to do something for Jesus to
tell other people about Jesus,
00:06:33.32\00:06:37.49
but they weren't sure what to
do but then they had an idea and
00:06:37.53\00:06:42.76
you know what they did?
They decided they were going to
00:06:42.80\00:06:48.20
collect money. They were going
to do everything they could to
00:06:48.24\00:06:51.71
try to raise money to send it
to Adventist World Radio so that
00:06:51.74\00:06:57.81
they could buy Bibles to send
to people that had never heard
00:06:57.85\00:07:02.68
about Jesus before. So the kids
started thinking, what can I do?
00:07:02.72\00:07:06.96
What can I do? And one
child they got money for their
00:07:06.99\00:07:11.33
birthday and they took all their
money and they brought it to
00:07:11.36\00:07:16.06
Sabbath School for their mission
project. And then some other
00:07:16.10\00:07:19.73
kids thought what can we do?
We'll have a bake sale. So their
00:07:19.77\00:07:23.97
moms and their dads they made
things, food and desserts, and
00:07:24.01\00:07:31.08
they sold it and all the money
that came in from that bake sale
00:07:31.11\00:07:36.99
then they gave that to Sabbath
School for their special mission
00:07:37.02\00:07:41.89
project. One boy that was a
little bit older, he decided he
00:07:41.92\00:07:47.90
would help mow lawns for people
and so he would mow some lawns
00:07:47.93\00:07:52.80
and they would get money and
they brought it. You know what?
00:07:52.83\00:07:57.91
They raised so much money. They
raised almost $2000 for Bibles.
00:07:57.94\00:08:05.85
Can you believe that? That's
a huge amount of money. And once
00:08:05.88\00:08:10.75
they had all that money
they sent it in to the office of
00:08:10.79\00:08:15.62
Adventist World Radio and
do you know what happened then?
00:08:15.66\00:08:18.69
Adventist World Radio bought
Bibles, lots of Bibles and sent
00:08:18.73\00:08:24.57
it up to this village in
the Philippines. In this remote
00:08:24.60\00:08:29.70
village many of them did not
know about Jesus until just a
00:08:29.74\00:08:34.21
little bit before. And they
started learning about Jesus but
00:08:34.24\00:08:37.91
they had no Bible to learn about
Jesus themselves. So what they
00:08:37.95\00:08:44.79
when they saw those Bibles
coming that the kids from the
00:08:44.82\00:08:49.12
Sabbath School had given
the money and the people bought
00:08:49.16\00:08:53.33
Bibles, then it came to their
village and they had boxes and
00:08:53.36\00:08:59.67
boxes of Bibles. They started
handing the kids Bibles, the
00:08:59.70\00:09:06.14
adults got Bibles and they were
so excited. They just took their
00:09:06.17\00:09:11.55
Bibles and they held it close
to them like that and don't you
00:09:11.58\00:09:16.15
think those Sabbath School kids
that raised the money for Bibles
00:09:16.18\00:09:19.99
were so excited that they had
done something for Jesus. They
00:09:20.02\00:09:26.19
had, they had done something
very important. Sometimes you
00:09:26.23\00:09:30.27
think, well I'm just little what
can I do for Jesus? You can do a
00:09:30.30\00:09:36.77
lot for Jesus, you know that?
Do you know that you could raise
00:09:36.81\00:09:41.34
money for something very special
too. Maybe you want to think how
00:09:41.38\00:09:47.02
can I raise money? Maybe I could
do chores around the house.
00:09:47.05\00:09:52.09
Maybe mommy and daddy would
give me money if I did something
00:09:52.12\00:09:56.12
special. Maybe you could
ask your grandma, your grandpa
00:09:56.16\00:10:00.83
if they would somehow help give
money and you could do a very
00:10:00.86\00:10:07.77
special project too. Wouldn't
that be really exciting? And you
00:10:07.80\00:10:12.34
don't even have to send the
money far away. You could even
00:10:12.37\00:10:16.44
do something special in your
own neighborhood. So this week I
00:10:16.48\00:10:21.45
want you to think what can I
do for Jesus? What can I do that
00:10:21.48\00:10:26.55
might help share Jesus
with someone else? Okay boys and
00:10:26.59\00:10:30.79
girls. Bye bye.
00:10:30.83\00:10:33.86
¤ ¤
00:10:33.90\00:10:38.87
Hi everyone. I want to tell you
about some really special people
00:10:38.90\00:10:43.20
in my life. In fact they're the
people who live very close to
00:10:43.24\00:10:47.44
me. (Miss Michelle) I'd say I'm
talking about my neighbors. I
00:10:47.48\00:10:51.68
must have the best neighbors
ever. For example, our next door
00:10:51.71\00:10:57.65
neighbor is our grandma. Can
you imagine? My little boy loves
00:10:57.69\00:11:02.56
living next to his great grandma
it's so special. Also we share
00:11:02.59\00:11:07.46
the same driveway with some
more neighbors who are a lovely
00:11:07.50\00:11:10.30
couple who our family has
known for years and we know that
00:11:10.33\00:11:13.84
they are always there if we need
them and they're always so sweet
00:11:13.87\00:11:17.64
and kind to us. Then in the
front yard we have some really
00:11:17.67\00:11:20.48
fun kids to play with and their
mom and dad and grandma and
00:11:20.51\00:11:23.48
grandpa and then on the other
side we have another couple who
00:11:23.51\00:11:26.28
are so sweet. They even gave
us some free sand for my son to
00:11:26.31\00:11:30.65
play with in his sandbox
and he loves it. It's like his
00:11:30.69\00:11:34.92
favorite thing to do. And on the
other side some of our church
00:11:34.96\00:11:37.53
members are actually our
neighbors and it's so special to
00:11:37.56\00:11:40.40
have some really wonderful
neighbors all around us. Today
00:11:40.43\00:11:44.90
our question is, Who is
our neighbor? Let's pray.
00:11:44.93\00:11:50.51
Dear heavenly Father, thank you
so much for my neighbors. I just
00:11:50.54\00:11:54.04
want to pause and say thank you
for them. Thank you that they
00:11:54.08\00:11:56.68
look out for us and for each
other and thank you for giving
00:11:56.71\00:12:00.25
us really fun people in our
lives. I pray the Holy Spirit's
00:12:00.28\00:12:03.32
with us today as we talk about
who our neighbor is according
00:12:03.35\00:12:06.89
to you. Not what the world says.
In your name we pray, Amen.
00:12:06.92\00:12:11.23
All right. Today's story is
probably most commonly known as
00:12:11.26\00:12:16.87
the Good Samaritan. Now back in
Jesus's time the definition of
00:12:16.90\00:12:22.87
neighbor was a little different
when Jesus came up with a
00:12:22.90\00:12:27.18
definition. The Pharisee's
definition was the people who
00:12:27.21\00:12:30.48
live next door and many of
us may have that same definition
00:12:30.51\00:12:33.55
but Jesus' definition was
different than ours. In fact, He
00:12:33.58\00:12:38.19
said that there was a little
broader look at who was our
00:12:38.22\00:12:42.36
neighbor. In fact, in the 10
commandments it talks about how
00:12:42.39\00:12:45.39
we should treat our neighbor.
Exodus 20 verses 16 and 17 I
00:12:45.43\00:12:49.46
mean especially focus on the
last two commandments, number
00:12:49.50\00:12:52.03
nine and number 10. Twenty verse
16 and 17: In Exodus 20, back,
00:12:52.07\00:12:58.64
back, back here verses 16 and
17 Here we go. Sixteen says:...
00:12:58.67\00:13:05.15
You shall not bear false
witness against your neighbor.
00:13:05.18\00:13:08.68
That means you should
not lie. And then 17 says:...
00:13:08.72\00:13:12.02
You shall not covet your
neighbor's house, you shall not
00:13:12.05\00:13:14.29
covet your neighbor's wife nor
his male servant, nor his female
00:13:14.32\00:13:16.73
servant, nor his ox, nor his
donkey nor anything that is your
00:13:16.76\00:13:19.03
neighbors.
00:13:19.06\00:13:20.70
Now was Jesus saying, You
can lie about anybody as long as
00:13:20.73\00:13:24.70
they're not living next door to
you? And you know, Billy Bob Joe
00:13:24.73\00:13:31.01
who lives one town over you can
wish that you had his car but
00:13:31.04\00:13:35.24
your neighbor's car, nope, that
breaks the 10th commandment.
00:13:35.28\00:13:38.45
No. The principle of it is that
we shouldn't lie about people.
00:13:38.48\00:13:42.48
Or to people. And that we
shouldn't covet or want what
00:13:42.52\00:13:45.99
those people have. And that's
really important to not do those
00:13:46.02\00:13:50.26
things. So this helps to broaden
the definition of neighbor.
00:13:50.29\00:13:54.36
A neighbor isn't just someone
who lives right next door to you
00:13:54.40\00:13:57.30
A neighbor is actually
anyone around you. Anyone is
00:13:57.33\00:14:03.44
technically your neighbor
according to Jesus. Jesus
00:14:03.47\00:14:06.71
actually became our brother
and our neighbor and we're all
00:14:06.74\00:14:10.05
brothers and sisters then in
Jesus. Jesus says everyone and
00:14:10.08\00:14:13.85
He's our example so we should
also consider everyone to be our
00:14:13.88\00:14:17.65
neighbor. But you see back
then the Pharisees had a very
00:14:17.69\00:14:21.59
important list that they kept
going and I have it right here.
00:14:21.62\00:14:25.36
It says The Not My Neighbor List
They said okay people are my
00:14:25.39\00:14:29.73
neighbor except heathens, nope.
Samaritans, nope. Publicans,
00:14:29.76\00:14:36.14
nope, that's a tax collector.
Sinners, nope, well he probably
00:14:36.17\00:14:40.48
didn't have any neighbors then.
Poor people, nope. And oh they
00:14:40.51\00:14:44.95
forgot one, I better add one,
Yup these people definitely are
00:14:44.98\00:14:49.52
not my neighbors, ignorant
people are not my neighbor.
00:14:49.55\00:14:53.62
Right? Or a word that is more
commonly used today although
00:14:53.66\00:14:58.33
probably not one that we should
include in our everyday verbiage
00:14:58.36\00:15:00.70
is dumb. Dumb people are not my
neighbor. That's their list. Is
00:15:00.73\00:15:05.93
that a very Christlike list? No.
In fact, right with number four
00:15:05.97\00:15:12.01
they have no neighbors. In fact,
they are not their own neighbor.
00:15:12.04\00:15:14.81
Right? But they liked to think
they were better than everyone
00:15:14.84\00:15:17.91
else because they followed their
very special rules and that made
00:15:17.95\00:15:23.08
the best. Mmm. Hmm. And they
went even further to us to say
00:15:23.12\00:15:28.52
even like the people on the
list even them was like touching
00:15:28.56\00:15:31.29
them was like touching someone
with a disease, euww, that they
00:15:31.33\00:15:34.96
might catch. Can you imagine
living like that? They must have
00:15:35.00\00:15:37.80
had such sad lives. I actually
feel really bad for them. And on
00:15:37.83\00:15:41.34
top of that they loved to argue.
In fact, they loved to argue
00:15:41.37\00:15:45.07
about, like well who's good
enough to be my neighbor? Who's
00:15:45.11\00:15:46.44
good enough to be my friend?
Right. Neighbor might be a
00:15:46.47\00:15:49.11
synonym for friend. But Jesus
loved everyone and that made
00:15:49.14\00:15:53.11
them upset. Let's flip over to
Matthew 9 verse 11. This is just
00:15:53.15\00:15:58.55
one example that just really
upset them. And it says:...
00:15:58.59\00:16:02.32
And one the Pharisee's saw
it [that would be Jesus] eating
00:16:02.36\00:16:06.06
with all sorts of different
people. And they said to his
00:16:06.09\00:16:10.00
disciples why does why does your
teacher eat with tax collectors
00:16:10.03\00:16:11.73
and sinners. [Ugh.] When Jesus
heard that he said to them,
00:16:11.77\00:16:16.67
Those who are well have no need
of a physician but those who are
00:16:16.71\00:16:20.14
sick. [Mm huh] But go and learn
what this means. I desire mercy
00:16:20.18\00:16:26.38
and not sacrifice. For I did
not come to call righteous but
00:16:26.41\00:16:31.42
sinners to repentance.
00:16:31.45\00:16:32.79
Let's think about what Jesus
said. He said, if I go and I
00:16:32.82\00:16:36.93
take my son's temperature, right
and it is not high then you're
00:16:36.96\00:16:43.97
not going to find in the
emergency room or at my son's
00:16:44.00\00:16:46.50
pediatrician are you? No. I
wouldn't go there because he's
00:16:46.53\00:16:50.17
not sick. He doesn't need a
doctor. But if I take my son's
00:16:50.21\00:16:54.18
temperature and it beeps
and it's red and, oh my, so high
00:16:54.21\00:16:57.88
then you sure know I'm going
to go and get some help for him.
00:16:57.91\00:17:00.08
Right? Just like that people who
don't recognize their need for
00:17:00.12\00:17:05.15
Jesus, it's like, I don't
know what I can do to help you.
00:17:05.19\00:17:08.66
But if people realize that we're
sick, we have a sin sickness,
00:17:08.69\00:17:12.59
then we can know that we can
go to Jesus and he will help us.
00:17:12.63\00:17:16.23
He will give us the medicine
which is His salvation that will
00:17:16.26\00:17:21.77
save us, that will heal us from
our sin sickness. And that's
00:17:21.80\00:17:26.11
when they continued to be
irritated with Him. They wanted
00:17:26.14\00:17:28.98
to trick him, so they sent a
lawyer. Now lawyers can be very
00:17:29.01\00:17:32.88
good at arguing and they can be
tricky people, although I have
00:17:32.91\00:17:35.35
some very good friends that are
lawyers and I know that they're
00:17:35.38\00:17:37.45
there to help other people. But
this lawyer was there to trick
00:17:37.49\00:17:42.39
Jesus. And so they said that
they were going to send him to
00:17:42.42\00:17:47.00
Jesus. And that's in Luke.
Interesting. We're going to hop
00:17:47.03\00:17:50.27
on over to Luke now for the rest
of this story. Luke chapter 10
00:17:50.30\00:17:54.74
and we're going to start up
in 25. Luke chapter 10 verse 25.
00:17:54.77\00:18:00.48
We're going to quickly read
through the story of the good
00:18:00.51\00:18:02.04
Samaritan. It's probably
familiar one to you. If not,
00:18:02.08\00:18:04.28
I hope you enjoy it for
the first time. Here goes.
00:18:04.31\00:18:06.41
And behold a certain lawyer
stood up and tested him saying,
00:18:06.45\00:18:09.85
Teacher, what should I do to
inherit eternal life? [I want to
00:18:09.88\00:18:12.95
live forever. What should I do?]
And he said to him, Well what is
00:18:12.99\00:18:15.86
written in the law? What is
it that's you're reading of?
00:18:15.89\00:18:17.89
[Lawyers are very smart people
and they read a lot and that's
00:18:17.93\00:18:20.53
why they're smart.] So he
answered him, Well it says you
00:18:20.56\00:18:23.30
shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart and all your
00:18:23.33\00:18:25.50
soul and all your strength and
all your might and your neighbor
00:18:25.53\00:18:27.44
as yourself. And He said to him,
you have answered rightly. Do
00:18:27.47\00:18:31.67
this and you will live. And he
wanting to justify himself said
00:18:31.71\00:18:35.94
to Jesus, Well
who is my neighbor?
00:18:35.98\00:18:37.55
He was feeling a
00:18:37.58\00:18:38.91
little guilty because he didn't
necessarily love people like he
00:18:38.95\00:18:41.38
should. So he decided to
ask another question to distract
00:18:41.42\00:18:44.45
Jesus and distract
himself from his guilt.
00:18:44.49\00:18:46.15
Then Jesus answered
00:18:46.19\00:18:48.89
and said [a story. I love Jesus'
stories, parables.] A certain
00:18:48.92\00:18:52.76
man went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho and fell among thieves
00:18:52.79\00:18:56.46
who stripped him of his clothing
wounded him and departed
00:18:56.50\00:18:59.63
leaving him half dead.
00:18:59.67\00:19:01.00
Thieves busted
out, they grabbed his
00:19:01.04\00:19:03.67
wallet, this is Miss Michelle's
wallet. They took his money,
00:19:03.71\00:19:06.34
they took his credit cards.
They probably didn't want a zoo
00:19:06.37\00:19:10.11
membership, but who knows.
They took his Costco card. They
00:19:10.15\00:19:13.78
took his, Mmm, they
probably couldn't use his health
00:19:13.82\00:19:15.52
insurance card. They took
his, ah, driver's license, that
00:19:15.55\00:19:18.65
wouldn't help them much. So they
took everything and they left
00:19:18.69\00:19:21.56
him for dead. They beat him
up too. They didn't just take
00:19:21.59\00:19:25.19
things, they beat him up
and they left him for dead. Wow!
00:19:25.23\00:19:29.06
This is a sad start to the
story let's see what happens.
00:19:29.10\00:19:32.03
Now by chance a certain priest
came by on the road. [Priest,
00:19:32.07\00:19:35.87
right? This would have been like
one of their pastors back then.]
00:19:35.90\00:19:38.14
And when he saw him, he
passed by on the other side.
00:19:38.17\00:19:41.24
He clutched his Bible closer and
thought, Oh no. Woops, sorry,
00:19:41.51\00:19:44.41
probably made a loud noise
there. I don't want to help him
00:19:44.45\00:19:47.78
I don't have time. I need to
make it to church. I got to prep
00:19:47.82\00:19:50.15
my sermon for tomorrow. I
don't know what day it was. But
00:19:50.19\00:19:53.86
anyway. And he
didn't help. How sad.
00:19:53.89\00:19:55.76
Likewise a Levite,
[that would have been
00:19:55.79\00:19:57.13
someone who works for the
church] When he arrived at the
00:19:58.09\00:20:00.80
place, he came and looked.
He saw him and passed by on the
00:20:00.83\00:20:04.27
other side.
00:20:04.30\00:20:05.63
Once again, they
thought that even if they
00:20:05.67\00:20:07.00
touched these sorts of
people that they were touching
00:20:07.04\00:20:08.60
someone with a disease. How sad.
All this man needed was some
00:20:08.64\00:20:13.48
help.
00:20:13.51\00:20:14.84
But a certain Samaritan
as he journeyed came where he
00:20:14.88\00:20:18.45
was and when he saw him he had
compassion on him. So he went
00:20:18.48\00:20:26.42
to him
00:20:26.45\00:20:27.79
and he got out his first
aid kit, he was prepared and he
00:20:27.82\00:20:31.83
took his bandage and he bandaged
his wounds. They're making this
00:20:31.86\00:20:37.87
hard to get into. Anyway, he
bandaged his wounds and he took
00:20:37.90\00:20:41.87
care of him. Like everyone
should have, right? And then he
00:20:41.90\00:20:47.21
put him up on his donkey. And
let's continue reading what the
00:20:47.24\00:20:49.88
Bible says. I guess I don't need
to put that back in there right
00:20:49.91\00:20:52.01
now. Let's keep reading.
00:20:52.05\00:20:53.38
So he went to the man and was
pouring oil and wine on them.
00:20:58.02\00:20:59.69
And he sat him on his own animal
and brought him to an inn and
00:20:59.72\00:21:01.82
took care of him. Now on
the next day when he departed he
00:21:01.86\00:21:04.23
took out some money and he gave
it to the inn keeper and said to
00:21:04.26\00:21:08.76
him, Take care of him. Whatever
more you spend I will come again
00:21:08.80\00:21:13.17
and will repay you. So which of
these three do you think was a
00:21:13.20\00:21:17.07
neighbor to him who
fell among the thieves.
00:21:17.11\00:21:18.84
Now by this time God had spoken
to the lawyer's heart and the
00:21:18.87\00:21:21.81
lawyer knew. He knew the
Pharisees were not correct in
00:21:21.84\00:21:25.25
their dealings with other
people and who was actually the
00:21:25.28\00:21:27.95
neighbor. But he also was
very steeped. The time and the
00:21:27.98\00:21:33.82
culture of that time was
so ingrained in him that he
00:21:33.86\00:21:36.89
couldn't bring himself to say
the word Samaritan. He couldn't
00:21:36.93\00:21:39.66
say well the
Samaritan was the good neighbor.
00:21:39.69\00:21:41.36
So the man answered, He who
showed mercy on him [which is
00:21:41.40\00:21:45.87
code for the Samaritan].
And Jesus said to him, Go and do
00:21:45.90\00:21:50.31
likewise.
00:21:50.34\00:21:53.61
Wow! Isn't that amazing? The
Bible says you shall love the
00:21:53.64\00:21:58.91
Lord your God with all
your heart and your neighbor as
00:21:58.95\00:22:02.95
yourself, in Luke 10 verse 27.
And this story once again used
00:22:02.98\00:22:09.66
a Samaritan just like our
story from last Sabbath with the
00:22:09.69\00:22:12.66
Samaritan who remembered to say
thank you. Those stories with
00:22:12.69\00:22:15.26
the Samaritan, someone who
wouldn't typically be considered
00:22:15.30\00:22:20.00
to be one of God's chosen people
wouldn't have even made the
00:22:20.04\00:22:23.04
neighbor list. Samaritans
are number two on the Not My
00:22:23.07\00:22:25.87
Neighbor List and yet the
Samaritan showed what God is
00:22:25.91\00:22:30.48
actually like. Wow! Have we
passed by someone that we can
00:22:30.51\00:22:36.42
help? Mmm. That's a sobering
thought isn't it? And sometimes
00:22:36.45\00:22:41.06
sadly in today's day and age
it's not safe to help people.
00:22:41.09\00:22:44.36
But when it is safe it's really
important that we do that.
00:22:44.39\00:22:47.96
Even when we don't feel that
it's the safest we can try to
00:22:48.00\00:22:50.50
think of something that maybe we
can do. I know it's hard because
00:22:50.53\00:22:54.24
maybe somebody is asking you for
money and you don't have any.
00:22:54.27\00:22:57.17
Or maybe someone's asking you
for a ride, but you don't feel
00:22:57.21\00:22:59.77
safe having them ride in the
vehicle with you. It's sad the
00:22:59.81\00:23:02.24
times that we live in, isn't it?
But there are always ways that
00:23:02.28\00:23:05.41
we can be a good neighbor to
other people. Maybe you can make
00:23:05.45\00:23:08.15
a list of those ways with your
family and think of some ways
00:23:08.18\00:23:10.85
that you can show others
what being a good neighbor, what
00:23:10.89\00:23:13.72
loving God really looks like.
Because when people see us they
00:23:13.76\00:23:18.39
should think wow, that's someone
who shows mercy on someone else.
00:23:18.43\00:23:22.83
Mmm. I hope people can say that
about us today. And Jesus can
00:23:22.86\00:23:27.04
help us to become more merciful
and more like the good Samaritan
00:23:27.07\00:23:30.97

It's time now for our memory
verse. Let's say it together.
00:25:11.44\00:25:14.71
Luke 10:27:... You shall love
the Lord your God with all your
00:25:14.74\00:25:20.45
heart and your
neighbor as yourself.
00:25:20.48\00:25:22.98

00:25:23.02\00:25:38.67
I love stories that my grandpa
told me (Uncle George) when I
00:25:38.70\00:25:42.00
was young. Grandpa liked to sell
books and he did in some very
00:25:42.04\00:25:47.11
interesting places. Sometimes it
was even dangerous. One evening
00:25:47.14\00:25:55.58
he was selling books, because
you see people were home to buy
00:25:55.62\00:25:59.65
books about Jesus at night.
So he came to a house and he
00:25:59.69\00:26:05.36
knocked on the door and a
gentleman opened the door and
00:26:05.39\00:26:10.60
said, What can I do for you? I'm
selling books. So he invited him
00:26:10.63\00:26:16.00
in and when Grandpa went into
that house something felt kind
00:26:16.04\00:26:20.64
of strange because there wasn't
just one man there, there was
00:26:20.68\00:26:24.18
two, three, four, five, six men.
And somebody locked the door
00:26:24.21\00:26:30.19
behind him. He was in trouble.
And they said, What are you
00:26:30.22\00:26:36.02
selling? And he kind of kept
an eye on what was going on and
00:26:36.06\00:26:39.59
knew it wasn't quite right. They
were going to try to hurt him.
00:26:39.63\00:26:43.03
And so he prayed to Jesus and he
said, Jesus help me. And he said
00:26:43.06\00:26:49.80
to the men, I don't think I
belong here and he walked to the
00:26:49.84\00:26:54.38
locked door and he opened the
door and he walked out. He knew
00:26:54.41\00:26:59.11
that his angel had unlocked the
door to keep him safe. It's good
00:26:59.15\00:27:05.35
when we can work with Jesus as
a partner in our work isn't it?
