00:01Hello, child. My child. All right. Kenzie, this Saturday is a particular day on the calendar.
00:13What do we know it as?
00:15Halloween.
00:15It is Halloween. Now, I know people celebrate it differently, and I just want to know and
00:23maybe tell the people, what will you be doing or what are you planning to do on Saturday
00:27this weekend?
00:29Go trick-or-treating.
00:30Go trick-or-treating. Now, when you go trick-or-treating, there are going to be some rules, of course,
00:36right? Because dad and mom want to make sure that you're safe. These are very obvious things
00:42as parents, especially grandparents alike. We wish well for our children and grandchildren.
00:47And so, some of the things, as you know, is it okay for you to just go by yourself?
00:52No.
00:53Is it okay for you to, let's say, you're not sure if the candy that you received is good
01:02or bad. Is it okay for you to just go ahead and eat it?
01:05No.
01:05No, you've got to think about it, look at it, maybe give it to dad or mom and all that
01:10you know what's approved versus what's not. If it were up to me, all of it would be thrown
01:14out, but it's not all up to me. So, why did you give me that stare?
01:19Now, what's the other thing that we also ask you to do? Is it okay for you to go out
01:27in
01:28the dark, just in the dark, without anything else?
01:33No.
01:34No. What? When you have darkness, what is the answer to darkness? What do you need in
01:39darkness?
01:41Light.
01:42Light.
01:43Light. Very good. That is the perfect segue to our verse today.
01:47Keep the furlough if you can put it up on the screen for us.
01:50Jesus said these words to his disciples and to all that heard him in our passage today
01:56in John chapter 12. Read it with me. Let's say it together.
01:59John 12, 35.
02:03Walk while you have the light.
02:06John 12, 35.
02:09Yes. Jesus said, walk while you have the light.
02:13And there will come a time, Kenzie, when, in terms of what Jesus is talking about here,
02:18when the light will be turned off. But that's not now. The light of Christ is continuing to
02:24shine in the world. And the light of Christ also shines through us. We've taught you the
02:29verse before about letting your light shine before all people, that they may see your good
02:35works and praise and glorify your Father. Amen.
02:38But I hope that the example of being in the dark and using a light, if you're ever in doubt,
02:44you always have the cell phone nowadays with the handy-dandy light, right?
02:50Now, you can do this. I've done this before, whether outdoors or indoors when I needed to
02:54find something. But the point here is, walk while you have the light. And Jesus said, I am
03:00the light of the world. The world that is in darkness. So, let's sing the verse again, together.
03:06John 12, 35.
03:09Walk while you have the light.
03:11John 12, 35.
03:14Amen, amen.
03:15All right, let's pray. Hold your hands. Bow your hands. Close your hands. Pray after me.
03:19Heavenly Father.
03:20Heavenly Father.
03:23For sending.
03:24For sending.
03:25Your Son.
03:25Your Son.
03:26Jesus Christ.
03:27Jesus Christ.
03:28The light of the world.
03:29The light of the world.
03:30Who shines the light.
03:31Who shines the light.
03:33In darkness.
03:34In darkness.
03:35Help me.
03:35Help me.
03:36To also.
03:37To also.
03:38Follow his example.
03:39Follow his example.
03:41And shine my light.
03:42And shine my light.
03:44To the world.
03:44To the world.
03:45That they may see.
03:47That they may see.
03:48My good deeds.
03:49My good deeds.
03:50And glorify.
03:51And glorify.
03:53My Father in heaven.
03:56In Jesus' name.
03:59Thank you, Kenzie.
