REVIEW/FOCUS (5-10 Minutes)
[Guided Conversation]
Many, many years ago (2,000) Jesus of Nazareth came to this
earth. He claimed to be God's Son. He said, "If you have
seen Me, you know what God is like." He said, "I have come
to do God's will on earth." The life, teachings and character
of Jesus is a standard to measure what is right and what
is wrong.
The video you are about to
see is called "The Story of Jesus for Children."
Some of you may have seen scenes from this video in your
church or school, or have already seen it on television.
What do you think the children who lived in the same towns
and cities Jesus taught in, said and thought about Jesus?
[For older children you may
wish to give the following facts.]
- Scenes from the original
film were done in the Holy Land, Israel, as close as possible
to where the original event shown took place 2,000 years
ago.
- Five years of research and dozens of
historians, archaeologists, and theologians worked to
ensure the film's accuracy.
- In the video, Jesus speaks only the
words recorded in the book of Luke from God's book, the
Bible.
