My name is Tubby, as you can see I am a bookworm and I live here
in this wonderful library
Hi! I am Freckles, I am a cool book worm
and I am Gumbo. Its story time
Hello kids, isn't it a nice day. I am really sad Holy, Tubby ate my chocolate!
I just took a small bite! Now Now! Don't fight kids, we should all learn to
share. Now don't you want to hear a story from the Bible? Yes we do all right kids
today's story is about Jesus and Satan Jesus went to a desert to get ready for
future tasks he fasted for 40 days he didn't eat or drink anything by the end
of the forty days Jesus was tired and hungry Satan who was the enemy of God
thought of tempting Jesus he came next to him and challenged him if you really
are the son of God are you saying then why don't you turn this town's into
bread jesus replied the Holy Scriptures say that we cannot live on bread alone
we also need the nourishment of God's words Satan took Jesus to a high
mountain where he could see all the kingdoms of the world and said if you
pray to me then all you see from here is yours
jesus said the Holy Scriptures say we must only pray to our God
and nobody else saten then took Jesus to Jerusalem and made him stand on the edge
of the temple and asked why don't you throw yourself of this edge and like the
scriptures say God's angels will come to save you
jesus said where the scripture is also safe not to put got to test Satan
understood no matter what he said nothing could tempt Jesus upset and
embarrassed Satan left God then sent His angels to
feed and take care of Jesus I hope you like the story I will ask a question now
who tried to tempt Jesus i can answser this saten tried to tempt jesus
very good freckles now gumbo and tubby I hope you
won't fight anymore no we wont holy
hi kids I didn't realize when I fell asleep I was reading
such a nice story from the Bible
hi holy what story where you reading can you tell us of course I can all of you gather
round I will tell you but you know what you have to do at the end
yes holy we have to answer the question correctly very good and
if you do you might get some cookies from me today's story is about Jesus
entering Jerusalem on the first day of the Passover week Jesus and his
followers came to bat Fuji on the Mount of Olives on the way to Jerusalem
Jesus sent two of his followers before him he said go to the village in front
of you I will follows him he also said she will
find a young donkey they are tied up with its mother untie it and bring it
back with you if anyone asks to say the master needs it and will send it back
soon the followers did everything that Jesus
said he found the donkey and brought it to Jesus they put their clothes on the
donkey's back to make a comfortable seat for Jesus no one had ever ridden the
young donkey before but it happily allowed Jesus to sit on its back Jesus
travelled in to Jerusalem not on a royal horse used an award but on a donkey
prophet Zechariah had said long ago that the promised Savior was a king of peace
not war people ran from their houses to the streets to welcome Jesus they all
showed their love to him they spread their cloaks at his feet and shouted
Hosanna happily praising God
so did you enjoy the story i loved it that's great now my
question is on what animal did Jesus right into the town of Jerusalem a horse
do you think before you answergumbo dear we know he rode a donkey yes that is right all of you
deserve chocolates I have already thought about the story that I'm going
to tell you today today's story is about the Lord's last meal but like always you
have to answer one question at the end sure we will long time ago John and
Peter two of Jesus's disciples had arranged for the Lord's Passover
these were the last few days of Jesus before he would be crucified the
Passover Feast was held in a house in Jerusalem Jesus and all his disciples
sat together and ate in one big room as they ate Jesus spoke to his disciples he
told them he was really looking forward to this Passover Feast and he wanted to
eat his last meal with all of them Jesus took a loaf of bread thanked the Lord
for it and gave it to his disciples and said this loaf of bread is my body Jesus
then picked up a cup of wine and once again thanked the Lord for the same
offering them the wine he said this cup of wine is my blood he said that he was
ready to shed his blood for the people so that they would be forgiven for their
sins all his disciples ate the loaf of bread and drank the wine the meal
continued after this it was a long celebration the disciples took their
time because they enjoyed talking with Jesus and asking him questions
after the meal was over Jesus washed the feet of all his disciples because he
loved them and wanted them to learn that they too should do nice things for
people all this talk about food has made me hungry you can go and eat only if you
answer my question what is the question do I have to answer it yes because you
never answer my questions and you are always thinking of food alright alright
ask me the question what does a loaf of bread and the cup of wine represent the
loaf represents the Lord's body and the wine his blood fantastic today's story
is a really sad one why but you never tell us sad stories I know but today's story is about Jesus's death and I know
how much children love him Oh jesus cant die holy tell us the story
well children Jesus was arrested priests wanted him to
die so they made the people go against him the Roman governor Pilate knew that
Jesus was innocent but he could not do anything to save Jesus so Jesus was
taken to a place called skull Hill also called Golgotha outside Jerusalem where
he would be crucified and put to death two other thieves were also being put to
death along with Jesus Jesus was put on a cross by the guards
and then set up right on the ground many of his followers and disciples had
gathered to see him for the last time among the people with Jesus's mother
Mary and one of his closest disciples John before he died Jesus prayed to the
Lord father please forgive them for they do not know what they are doing then he
looked at John and said John Mary will be your mother he looked at Mary and
said was her John will now be our son the priests were getting very impatient
the guards that made sure that the two thieves were dead by the time they
reached Jesus he was already dead they pierced him to check if he was dead or
not John took Mary to his house and took care of her from that moment onwards
now who will answer my question today Jesus can't die he is the son of God
hanging their freckles keep the faith now answer my question what was the name
of the place where Jesus was crucified
skul hill but it was also called golgata
yes both of you are correct now I will tell you a story anyway let's start with
today's story gumbo listen to the story carefully so after Jesus was put to
death on the cross his body was buried in a tomb
not very far away from Golgotha Jesus had promised to his followers and
disciples he would rise from death after three days so the priests and the
leaders wanted the tomb to be sealed properly and guarded by men so that
there was no chance of Jesus's disciples stealing his body Mary Magdalene and one
of her friends were waiting to go and see Jesus's body he could only go after
the Sabbath so early next morning the two women went to the tomb when they
reached the tomb they saw that the heavy stone Boulder guarding the mouth of the
tomb had already been removed they thought that perhaps someone else had
come to see Jesus but when they stepped inside they were shocked Jesus's body
had disappeared the tomb was empty suddenly two angels appeared Mary and
her friend were terrified to see what was happening the angels told them to be
afraid they told the women that the Son of God had already risen hearing this
Mary and her friend went running to John and Peter they said you must come the
Lord has risen John and Peter did not believe him at first but they went to
the tomb when they reached they saw that the body was not there and the linen
they had wrapped jesus in must folded neatly and kept on the side
yeey... so jesus have risen from dead oh i am so happy i love jesus he is so cool
yes freckles he is now will you please answer my question absalutely

Magdalene and her friend go to do they saw that the tomb was empty
they went to peter and john
