[00:00:00 --> 00:00:01] Hosanna!
[00:00:01 --> 00:00:02] (light music)
[00:00:02 --> 00:00:04] (palm rattles)
[00:00:04 --> 00:00:05] Hosanna!
[00:00:05 --> 00:00:08] Hi, friends. Today, we are celebrating.
[00:00:08 --> 00:00:10] Why are we celebrating?
[00:00:10 --> 00:00:11] (water splashes)
[00:00:11 --> 00:00:13] Guys, it is Palm Sunday.
[00:00:13 --> 00:00:14] Do you know what that means?
[00:00:14 --> 00:00:15] It's a Sunday with palms!
[00:00:16 --> 00:00:18] That is very true.
[00:00:18 --> 00:00:19] But it's even more than that.
[00:00:19 --> 00:00:20] (water splashes)
[00:00:20 --> 00:00:23] Palm Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week,
[00:00:23 --> 00:00:26] which is one of the most important weeks of the year.
[00:00:26 --> 00:00:29] Father Tim can tell us why this is such an important Sunday
[00:00:29 --> 00:00:33] and why we celebrate with these weird branches.
[00:00:33 --> 00:00:34] "Juice Box."
[00:00:34 --> 00:00:35] (object splats)
[00:00:35 --> 00:00:36] (child giggles)
[00:00:36 --> 00:00:37] What's Palm Sunday?
[00:00:37 --> 00:00:41] Palm Sunday is such a special, special Sunday
[00:00:41 --> 00:00:43] where we get to celebrate Jesus
[00:00:43 --> 00:00:46] coming back to Jerusalem as a King,
[00:00:46 --> 00:00:48] and all of the people of Jerusalem
[00:00:48 --> 00:00:50] have been waiting for the King to come.
[00:00:50 --> 00:00:53] So they lay down Palm branches,
[00:00:53 --> 00:00:56] that Jesus riding on the donkey can walk over.
[00:00:56 --> 00:00:57] Hee-haw!
[00:00:57 --> 00:00:59] So another cool thing about Palm Sunday
[00:00:59 --> 00:01:02] is that it is the beginning of Holy Week.
[00:01:02 --> 00:01:04] What is Holy Week?
[00:01:04 --> 00:01:07] Holy Week is so special because this is the week
[00:01:07 --> 00:01:10] that we celebrate Jesus' love for us.
[00:01:10 --> 00:01:14] We celebrate His life, His death, and His resurrection.
[00:01:14 --> 00:01:15] And so when it comes to Holy Week,
[00:01:15 --> 00:01:18] we save the best for last,
[00:01:18 --> 00:01:21] where the last day of Holy Week we celebrate Easter.
[00:01:21 --> 00:01:23] I love Easter baskets.
[00:01:23 --> 00:01:25] Oh, my favorite Easter candy? Reese's eggs.
[00:01:25 --> 00:01:27] There's nothing better.
[00:01:27 --> 00:01:28] And I think that was Jesus' favorite, too.
[00:01:28 --> 00:01:31] I like eating chocolate bunnies.
[00:01:32 --> 00:01:33] (water splashes)
[00:01:33 --> 00:01:34] But why do we get palm branches?
[00:01:34 --> 00:01:36] So we get palm branches on Sunday
[00:01:36 --> 00:01:39] because that is what happened in the gospel.
[00:01:39 --> 00:01:42] The people were so excited that the King was coming back,
[00:01:42 --> 00:01:45] that they threw palm branches at his feet.
[00:01:45 --> 00:01:48] Is that Jesus? Is He coming?
[00:01:48 --> 00:01:50] We don't really throw branches anymore.
[00:01:50 --> 00:01:51] That may hurt.
[00:01:51 --> 00:01:53] But what we do is we hold the palm branches
[00:01:53 --> 00:01:58] to show a sign of respect for Jesus Christ, our King.
[00:01:58 --> 00:02:01] Isn't Jesus a King?
[00:02:01 --> 00:02:02] Why does He ride a donkey?
[00:02:02 --> 00:02:06] There's a really cool word called a prophecy.
[00:02:06 --> 00:02:09] A prophecy is when someone says something
[00:02:09 --> 00:02:11] that will happen in the future.
[00:02:11 --> 00:02:13] Almost like predicting the future.
[00:02:13 --> 00:02:15] The prophet Isaiah in the Old Testament,
[00:02:15 --> 00:02:17] he has a prophecy about Jesus:
[00:02:17 --> 00:02:21] that the King will come riding on a donkey.
[00:02:21 --> 00:02:23] And he predicts this hundreds of years
[00:02:23 --> 00:02:26] before Jesus even set foot on earth.
[00:02:26 --> 00:02:28] Isn't that amazing?
[00:02:28 --> 00:02:28] (children cheering)
[00:02:28 --> 00:02:30] Jesus riding the donkey?
[00:02:30 --> 00:02:34] It makes the Book of Isaiah so real.
[00:02:34 --> 00:02:35] That's awesome sauce.
[00:02:35 --> 00:02:37] What does hosanna mean?
[00:02:37 --> 00:02:38] Mm.
[00:02:38 --> 00:02:40] Hosanna is such a cool word.
[00:02:40 --> 00:02:42] It is an old Hebrew word,
[00:02:42 --> 00:02:44] and I could say over and over and over.
[00:02:44 --> 00:02:46] Hosanna, hosanna.
[00:02:46 --> 00:02:46] Hosanna.
[00:02:46 --> 00:02:47] I love saying that word.
[00:02:47 --> 00:02:51] And what that word means is giving praise to God,
[00:02:51 --> 00:02:53] and also asking Him to save us.
[00:02:53 --> 00:02:56] So when we say this at mass, "Hosanna in the highest,"
[00:02:56 --> 00:02:59] we are saying, "Jesus, we give You all praise.
[00:02:59 --> 00:03:02] We love You so much. Please save us."
[00:03:02 --> 00:03:03] (water splashes)
[00:03:03 --> 00:03:05] What do we do with the palms?
[00:03:05 --> 00:03:07] So did you know that the ashes
[00:03:07 --> 00:03:09] that we get on Ash Wednesday
[00:03:09 --> 00:03:14] that is traced on our forehead come from burnt palms?
[00:03:14 --> 00:03:16] All the palms that we use on Palm Sunday,
[00:03:16 --> 00:03:20] they're used for all the ashes on Ash Wednesday.
[00:03:20 --> 00:03:21] But for the rest of the year,
[00:03:21 --> 00:03:23] you can take the palms home
[00:03:23 --> 00:03:27] and place them behind one of your crucifixes,
[00:03:27 --> 00:03:29] you can put it in your room, under your Bible,
[00:03:29 --> 00:03:31] or under your rosary.
[00:03:31 --> 00:03:33] You can even do a little arts and crafts
[00:03:33 --> 00:03:36] and make a cross out of the palms.
[00:03:36 --> 00:03:38] You can do so many things
[00:03:38 --> 00:03:42] that remind you that Jesus is the King of our hearts.
[00:03:42 --> 00:03:43] Okay, Juice Boxers.
[00:03:43 --> 00:03:45] I love Palms Sunday, and I hope you do too,
[00:03:45 --> 00:03:49] and I hope you all have an amazing, amazing Palm Sunday.
[00:03:49 --> 00:03:52] Just remember, Jesus, He's our King,
[00:03:52 --> 00:03:54] and He is the best King that we can possibly have.
[00:03:54 --> 00:03:58] And so wave those palms high at mass for Sunday
[00:03:58 --> 00:04:01] and remind yourself you have the best King ever.
[00:04:01 --> 00:04:02] Yee!
[00:04:02 --> 00:04:04] (speaker speaks indistinctly)
[00:04:04 --> 00:04:05] (palm rattling)
[00:04:05 --> 00:04:07] Juice Boxers, I hope you have an amazing Holy Week
[00:04:07 --> 00:04:09] and amazing Palm Sunday.
[00:04:09 --> 00:04:10] I am praying for you so much.
[00:04:10 --> 00:04:12] Can't wait to see you next time. Bye, bye.
[00:04:12 --> 00:04:15] Clippity-clop, clippity-clop.
[00:04:15 --> 00:04:16] Jesus was so mad.
[00:04:16 --> 00:04:18] Cock-a-doodle-doo!
[00:04:18 --> 00:04:21] So many important things happen during Holy Week.
[00:04:21 --> 00:04:22] Blech!
[00:04:22 --> 00:04:23] I asked some of my friends
[00:04:23 --> 00:04:24] to help me tell the story.
[00:04:24 --> 00:04:26] That's amazing.
[00:04:26 --> 00:04:27] Let's go.
[00:04:27 --> 00:04:28] "Juice Box."
[00:04:28 --> 00:04:29] (object splats)
[00:04:29 --> 00:04:30] (child giggles)
[00:04:30 --> 00:04:32] Holy Week starts with Palm Sunday.
[00:04:32 --> 00:04:35] That's the day we get palms at church.
[00:04:35 --> 00:04:38] Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
[00:04:38 --> 00:04:41] He was a really big deal.
[00:04:41 --> 00:04:43] Jesus told two of His apostles
[00:04:43 --> 00:04:45] to go to the next village
[00:04:45 --> 00:04:47] and get a donkey that no one had ridden on.
[00:04:47 --> 00:04:50] "Excuse me. You're stealing my donkey."
[00:04:50 --> 00:04:52] They told the owner,
[00:04:52 --> 00:04:54] "The master has need of it."
[00:04:54 --> 00:04:56] Oh, okay, I guess.
[00:04:57 --> 00:05:01] Then Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem.
[00:05:01 --> 00:05:05] Clipitty-clop, clippity-clop, clippity-clop.
[00:05:05 --> 00:05:06] Hee-haw!
[00:05:06 --> 00:05:09] They were throwing lots of palms.
[00:05:09 --> 00:05:11] It was like a red carpet, but it was green.
[00:05:11 --> 00:05:12] It was palms.
[00:05:12 --> 00:05:16] They were all saying, "Hosanna, hosanna!"
[00:05:16 --> 00:05:17] "Where's Jesus?
[00:05:17 --> 00:05:18] "He's over here."
[00:05:18 --> 00:05:21] Everyone was like, "Who is this guy?"
[00:05:21 --> 00:05:24] The chief priest didn't believe that Jesus was God.
[00:05:24 --> 00:05:26] "Why is He so important?
[00:05:26 --> 00:05:27] We're more important than Him."
[00:05:29 --> 00:05:31] Then Jesus went to the temple
[00:05:31 --> 00:05:33] and saw people selling stuff.
[00:05:33 --> 00:05:35] They were selling toys, and animals-
[00:05:38 --> 00:05:40] Chickens, doves.
[00:05:40 --> 00:05:43] Horses, rhinos, cows.
[00:05:43 --> 00:05:45] Jesus was so mad.
[00:05:45 --> 00:05:48] A hundred and thousand mad.
[00:05:48 --> 00:05:50] He flipped a bunch of tables.
[00:05:50 --> 00:05:51] He made a big mess.
[00:05:51 --> 00:05:52] (objects clattering)
[00:05:52 --> 00:05:54] (object shattering)
[00:05:54 --> 00:05:55] (child imitating object shattering)
[00:05:55 --> 00:05:57] "Get outta here!"
[00:05:57 --> 00:05:59] "This is my Father's house.
[00:05:59 --> 00:06:02] What are you doing? You can't sell stuff here.
[00:06:02 --> 00:06:03] Get outta here!"
[00:06:04 --> 00:06:06] Jesus stayed in Jerusalem
[00:06:06 --> 00:06:08] and taught the people there.
[00:06:08 --> 00:06:10] He taught them all types of lessons.
[00:06:10 --> 00:06:12] Jesus is a great teacher.
[00:06:12 --> 00:06:15] Now it's spy Wednesday.
[00:06:15 --> 00:06:16] (tinkling music)
[00:06:16 --> 00:06:18] Wednesday took a twist.
[00:06:18 --> 00:06:20] Dun, dun, duuun!
[00:06:20 --> 00:06:22] 'Cause there's a spy, a bad one.
[00:06:22 --> 00:06:23] Judas.
[00:06:23 --> 00:06:25] (tinkling music)
[00:06:25 --> 00:06:27] Judas went to the priests,
[00:06:27 --> 00:06:30] and he told them where Jesus was.
[00:06:30 --> 00:06:32] And they paid him silver.
[00:06:32 --> 00:06:33] That was a really bad thing.
[00:06:33 --> 00:06:35] Best friends hurt you.
[00:06:35 --> 00:06:38] Now the next day, it's The Last Supper.
[00:06:38 --> 00:06:39] They were eating dinner.
[00:06:39 --> 00:06:41] Bread, wine.
[00:06:41 --> 00:06:43] Chicken, hamburgers.
[00:06:43 --> 00:06:44] Donuts.
[00:06:44 --> 00:06:45] They were having dinner,
[00:06:45 --> 00:06:47] and Jesus said something crazy.
[00:06:49 --> 00:06:50] What?
[00:06:50 --> 00:06:54] Jesus told the apostles that one would betray Him.
[00:06:54 --> 00:06:57] All the apostles were really worried.
[00:06:57 --> 00:06:58] "Who is it?
[00:06:58 --> 00:06:59] Is it me? Is it you?"
[00:06:59 --> 00:07:03] But Jesus and Judas knew who it was.
[00:07:03 --> 00:07:06] After they had dinner, Jesus took the bread.
[00:07:06 --> 00:07:08] "Take this all of you and eat it,
[00:07:08 --> 00:07:12] for this is my body, which will be given up for you."
[00:07:12 --> 00:07:14] And then He took the chalice.
[00:07:14 --> 00:07:16] "This is my blood."
[00:07:16 --> 00:07:18] The disciples were pretty confused.
[00:07:18 --> 00:07:22] Then Jesus and Peter were talking.
[00:07:22 --> 00:07:26] Jesus told Peter that he would betray Him.
[00:07:26 --> 00:07:28] And Peter said, "No way, Jesus.
[00:07:28 --> 00:07:30] You're my best friend."
[00:07:30 --> 00:07:31] But he did do it.
[00:07:31 --> 00:07:33] Jesus went to pray in the garden.
[00:07:33 --> 00:07:35] He prayed and prayed and prayed.
[00:07:35 --> 00:07:37] Jesus was sweating blood.
[00:07:37 --> 00:07:40] That means Jesus was praying really hard.
[00:07:40 --> 00:07:43] God, I know it's going to be terrible.
[00:07:43 --> 00:07:45] Do I have to do it?
[00:07:45 --> 00:07:47] But if I have to, then I have to.
[00:07:47 --> 00:07:50] The apostles were super sleepy.
[00:07:50 --> 00:07:53] (child snoring)
[00:07:53 --> 00:07:55] (child snoring)
[00:07:57 --> 00:07:59] (child wheezing)
[00:07:59 --> 00:08:00] Jesus woke them up.
[00:08:00 --> 00:08:02] "Can't you stay awake for one hour?"
[00:08:02 --> 00:08:04] Then things took a turn.
[00:08:06 --> 00:08:07] (child gasps)
[00:08:07 --> 00:08:08] Then the guards came.
[00:08:08 --> 00:08:10] They arrested Jesus.
[00:08:10 --> 00:08:12] "Come on, Jesus, you're arrested."
[00:08:12 --> 00:08:16] They tied Jesus up.
[00:08:16 --> 00:08:18] "You're going to jail."
[00:08:18 --> 00:08:20] Jesus didn't even do anything wrong.
[00:08:20 --> 00:08:22] Peter was so upset.
[00:08:22 --> 00:08:24] He took his sword and-
[00:08:24 --> 00:08:24] (child grunting)
[00:08:24 --> 00:08:28] He was so mad he cut a man's ear off.
[00:08:28 --> 00:08:28] "Oh, my ear!"
[00:08:28 --> 00:08:31] Jesus said, "Peter, calm down."
[00:08:31 --> 00:08:33] But Jesus put the ear back on. Heal.
[00:08:33 --> 00:08:37] "That's super nice, even for our enemy."
[00:08:37 --> 00:08:39] They do it the easy way.
[00:08:39 --> 00:08:41] They're really mean to Jesus.
[00:08:41 --> 00:08:45] They took Jesus to the big dog priests,
[00:08:45 --> 00:08:48] and they were asking him all types of questions.
[00:08:48 --> 00:08:51] While they were doing that, Peter was standing outside.
[00:08:51 --> 00:08:54] "Aren't you one of Jesus' apostles?"
[00:08:54 --> 00:08:55] Peter wasn't that brave.
[00:08:55 --> 00:08:57] "I don't know that guy."
[00:08:57 --> 00:08:59] Peter was lying.
[00:08:59 --> 00:09:03] Cock-a-doodle-do! (rooster crows)
[00:09:03 --> 00:09:04] That was only Thursday.
[00:09:04 --> 00:09:06] Friday was the worst.
[00:09:06 --> 00:09:08] Jesus went to Pilate.
[00:09:08 --> 00:09:10] Pilate wasn't like an airplane pilot.
[00:09:10 --> 00:09:13] Pilate was a very powerful guy.
[00:09:13 --> 00:09:14] He could order people around.
[00:09:14 --> 00:09:16] "Make me a sandwich."
[00:09:16 --> 00:09:17] "Clean my bathroom."
[00:09:17 --> 00:09:19] Pilate wasn't being nice.
[00:09:19 --> 00:09:21] Pilate turned to the people and said,
[00:09:21 --> 00:09:26] "Do you want this bad guy Barabbas or this good guy Jesus?"
[00:09:26 --> 00:09:28] They chose Barabbas.
[00:09:28 --> 00:09:29] "Ha, ha, ha."
[00:09:29 --> 00:09:32] I don't think Pilate was expecting that.
[00:09:32 --> 00:09:36] Pilate cared too much about what other people thought.
[00:09:36 --> 00:09:40] To make them feel better, he had Jesus scourged.
[00:09:40 --> 00:09:43] Jesus got hit a lot.
[00:09:43 --> 00:09:45] (child spewing)
[00:09:45 --> 00:09:46] Ow, ow, ow.
[00:09:46 --> 00:09:48] But that wasn't enough for the people.
[00:09:48 --> 00:09:50] The crowd started shouting-
[00:09:50 --> 00:09:53] "Crucify Him, crucify Him!"
[00:09:53 --> 00:09:55] Soldiers took Jesus away.
[00:09:55 --> 00:09:58] They dressed Him up like a king and made fun of Him.
[00:09:58 --> 00:10:00] They put a crown of thorns on Him.
[00:10:00 --> 00:10:03] They put a big heavy cross on Him.
[00:10:03 --> 00:10:04] "Oh, it's so heavy."
[00:10:04 --> 00:10:06] It was a million pounds.
[00:10:06 --> 00:10:11] Jesus was so tired, and He fell three times.
[00:10:11 --> 00:10:13] A man named Simon came to help Him.
[00:10:13 --> 00:10:15] "Do I have to help Him?"
[00:10:15 --> 00:10:17] "Okay, I'll help Him."
[00:10:20 --> 00:10:22] They took Him to the place called the Skull.
[00:10:23 --> 00:10:27] And they nailed Him to the cross, on His hands and feet.
[00:10:27 --> 00:10:28] Boo, boo, boo.
[00:10:28 --> 00:10:29] Pap, pap, pa.
[00:10:29 --> 00:10:33] Jesus was there on the cross thinking about us.
[00:10:33 --> 00:10:36] John was the only friend there, a friend.
[00:10:36 --> 00:10:38] Then He saw His mom.
[00:10:38 --> 00:10:39] His mom's name is Mary.
[00:10:39 --> 00:10:41] "She's your mom now. "
[00:10:41 --> 00:10:43] John took care of Mary.
[00:10:44 --> 00:10:45] "I'm thirsty."
[00:10:45 --> 00:10:48] They gave Him this icky stuff to drink.
[00:10:48 --> 00:10:49] Blech!
[00:10:49 --> 00:10:52] Jesus said, "It is finished," and then Jesus died.
[00:10:54 --> 00:10:56] (somber music)
[00:10:56 --> 00:10:57] People got sad.
[00:10:57 --> 00:10:59] (child wailing)
[00:10:59 --> 00:11:01] They took Jesus down from the cross,
[00:11:02 --> 00:11:04] and they put Him in a tomb-
[00:11:04 --> 00:11:06] And rolled over a rock.
[00:11:06 --> 00:11:08] The rock was so heavy.
[00:11:08 --> 00:11:12] This is the story of a star!
[00:11:12 --> 00:11:14] His friends went to go find Him.
[00:11:14 --> 00:11:15] "You won't believe
[00:11:15 --> 00:11:17] what I just heard from Mary Magdalene.
[00:11:17 --> 00:11:18] Let's race to the tomb."
[00:11:19 --> 00:11:21] But He wasn't there.
[00:11:22 --> 00:11:23] They saw an angel.
[00:11:24 --> 00:11:25] ♪ Ahh ♪
[00:11:25 --> 00:11:27] Jesus came back to life.
[00:11:27 --> 00:11:28] He was alive!
[00:11:28 --> 00:11:30] Jesus loves me.
[00:11:30 --> 00:11:31] He died for you.
[00:11:31 --> 00:11:32] That's amazing!
[00:11:33 --> 00:11:35] Wow, I think we did a pretty good job
[00:11:35 --> 00:11:37] of remembering Holy Week.
[00:11:37 --> 00:11:39] Thanks so much for watching, Juice Boxers.
[00:11:39 --> 00:11:41] If you want to keep learning about Jesus with us,
[00:11:41 --> 00:11:44] ask a grownup to subscribe to "Juice Box."
[00:11:44 --> 00:11:46] See you next time.
[00:11:46 --> 00:11:48] Would you wash your friend's feet?
[00:11:48 --> 00:11:50] Well, Jesus did on Holy Thursday.
[00:11:50 --> 00:11:53] Holy Thursday is the first day of the Triduum,
[00:11:53 --> 00:11:57] which is three days of prayer and preparation.
[00:11:57 --> 00:11:59] During Holy Week, we observe this Triduum,
[00:11:59 --> 00:12:01] which starts on Holy Thursday.
[00:12:01 --> 00:12:05] It goes through Good Friday and ends on Holy Saturday.
[00:12:05 --> 00:12:07] Those days are preparing
[00:12:07 --> 00:12:10] for the most important day, Easter Sunday.
[00:12:10 --> 00:12:13] Well, let's talk about Holy Thursday and The Last Supper,
[00:12:13 --> 00:12:15] which starts this important week.
[00:12:15 --> 00:12:17] "Juice Box."
[00:12:17 --> 00:12:17] (object splats)
[00:12:17 --> 00:12:18] (child giggles)
[00:12:18 --> 00:12:21] Jesus have 12 friends.
[00:12:21 --> 00:12:23] (object popping)
[00:12:24 --> 00:12:26] They were so close to Jesus,
[00:12:26 --> 00:12:29] and they followed Him everywhere.
[00:12:31 --> 00:12:34] One day they shared a special meal.
[00:12:35 --> 00:12:39] That meal was called The Last Supper.
[00:12:39 --> 00:12:42] Before they had dinner,
[00:12:42 --> 00:12:45] Jesus washed all of his friends' feet.
[00:12:45 --> 00:12:48] "Jesus, why are You washing our feet?
[00:12:48 --> 00:12:50] We should wash Your feet."
[00:12:50 --> 00:12:52] "I'm doing this to show you
[00:12:52 --> 00:12:54] how to love and care for others."
[00:12:55 --> 00:12:58] After Jesus washed their feet,
[00:12:58 --> 00:13:01] He took some bread and blessed it:
[00:13:02 --> 00:13:06] "Take and eat, this is my body."
[00:13:06 --> 00:13:08] (solemn music)
[00:13:09 --> 00:13:14] Then He took the cup of wine and He blessed it:
[00:13:14 --> 00:13:18] "This is my blood poured out for you."
[00:13:19 --> 00:13:22] Do those words that Jesus said sound familiar?
[00:13:22 --> 00:13:26] During The Last Supper, Jesus instituted the Eucharist.
[00:13:26 --> 00:13:28] The Eucharist is a sacrament
[00:13:28 --> 00:13:31] where bread and wine are transformed into the body
[00:13:31 --> 00:13:32] and blood of Jesus Christ.
[00:13:33 --> 00:13:36] We celebrate the Eucharist at every mass,
[00:13:36 --> 00:13:38] where the priest will say the same words that Jesus did
[00:13:38 --> 00:13:40] during The Last Supper.
[00:13:41 --> 00:13:46] After dinner, Jesus and His disciples went to the garden.
[00:13:46 --> 00:13:49] And in the garden, Jesus prayed.
[00:13:51 --> 00:13:53] (pensive music)
[00:13:57 --> 00:13:59] His friend, Judas, betrayed Him.
[00:14:00 --> 00:14:01] (character grunts)
[00:14:01 --> 00:14:03] Jesus was arrested.
[00:14:06 --> 00:14:07] (sword clangs)
[00:14:07 --> 00:14:09] Jesus knew that had to happen.
[00:14:09 --> 00:14:11] Jesus didn't even fight them.
[00:14:11 --> 00:14:13] I would fight them.
[00:14:13 --> 00:14:14] (object clatters)
[00:14:14 --> 00:14:16] So on Holy Thursday, we remember The Last Supper
[00:14:16 --> 00:14:19] and how Jesus gave us the gift of the Eucharist
[00:14:19 --> 00:14:21] and began His journey to Easter.
[00:14:21 --> 00:14:23] Thanks for playing with me today, friends.
[00:14:23 --> 00:14:25] See you next time.
[00:14:25 --> 00:14:27] Today, let's prepare our hearts for Easter
[00:14:27 --> 00:14:30] with something quiet and reflective.
[00:14:30 --> 00:14:33] As we shape and soothe the sand,
[00:14:33 --> 00:14:35] we'll meditate on the Psalms.
[00:14:35 --> 00:14:38] These ancient prayers lead us closer to Jesus
[00:14:38 --> 00:14:41] as we reflect on His sacrifice and resurrection.
[00:14:41 --> 00:14:43] "Juice Box."
[00:14:43 --> 00:14:44] (object splats)
[00:14:44 --> 00:14:45] (child giggles)
[00:14:45 --> 00:14:50] Let's start with Psalm 51, a psalm of repentance.
[00:14:50 --> 00:14:52] As we prepare for Easter,
[00:14:52 --> 00:14:55] this prayer helps us open our hearts to God.
[00:14:56 --> 00:15:01] "Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love;
[00:15:01 --> 00:15:05] according to Your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.
[00:15:05 --> 00:15:08] Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
[00:15:08 --> 00:15:11] and cleanse me from my sin!
[00:15:11 --> 00:15:13] Create in me a clean heart, O God,
[00:15:13 --> 00:15:16] and renew a right spirit within me.
[00:15:17 --> 00:15:20] Cast me not away with Your presence,
[00:15:20 --> 00:15:22] and take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
[00:15:22 --> 00:15:26] Restore me the joy of Your salvation,
[00:15:26 --> 00:15:28] and uphold me with a willing spirit."
[00:15:30 --> 00:15:32] Watch as the sand takes shape,
[00:15:32 --> 00:15:35] a reminder that God can mold our hearts
[00:15:35 --> 00:15:37] when we ask Him for forgiveness.
[00:15:38 --> 00:15:40] (solemn music)
[00:15:44 --> 00:15:47] During Lent, Psalm 130 reminds us
[00:15:47 --> 00:15:49] to cry out to God for His mercy.
[00:15:51 --> 00:15:54] "Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord!
[00:15:54 --> 00:15:57] O Lord, hear my voice!
[00:15:57 --> 00:15:59] Let Your ears be attentive
[00:15:59 --> 00:16:02] to the voice of my pleas for mercy.
[00:16:03 --> 00:16:06] If You, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
[00:16:06 --> 00:16:08] O Lord, who could stand?
[00:16:08 --> 00:16:12] But with You there is forgiveness, that You may be feared.
[00:16:12 --> 00:16:16] I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
[00:16:16 --> 00:16:18] and in His Word I hope.
[00:16:18 --> 00:16:20] My soul waits for the Lord
[00:16:20 --> 00:16:23] more than watchmen for the morning."
[00:16:24 --> 00:16:27] (solemn music continues)
[00:16:28 --> 00:16:31] As we wait for Easter, this Psalm reminds us
[00:16:31 --> 00:16:36] that God's mercy is always greater than our sins.
[00:16:36 --> 00:16:38] The Psalms also prophesy
[00:16:38 --> 00:16:41] on the death and resurrection of Jesus.
[00:16:41 --> 00:16:44] Psalm 22 gives us a vivid picture
[00:16:44 --> 00:16:46] of His suffering on the cross.
[00:16:47 --> 00:16:49] (gentle music)
[00:16:50 --> 00:16:54] "My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
[00:16:54 --> 00:16:57] Why are You so far from saving me?
[00:16:57 --> 00:17:00] From the words of my groaning?
[00:17:00 --> 00:17:02] I am poured out like water,
[00:17:02 --> 00:17:05] and all my bones are out of joint.
[00:17:05 --> 00:17:09] My heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast.
[00:17:09 --> 00:17:12] They divide my garments among them,
[00:17:12 --> 00:17:15] and for my clothing they cast lots."
[00:17:15 --> 00:17:19] Even in His suffering, Jesus trusted in His Father.
[00:17:20 --> 00:17:23] Let's reflect on His sacrifices
[00:17:23 --> 00:17:26] as we watch the sand move and flow,
[00:17:26 --> 00:17:28] just as God's plan unfolded.
[00:17:29 --> 00:17:33] (gentle music continues)
[00:17:52 --> 00:17:56] Psalm 16 gives us a glimpse of the resurrection.
[00:17:56 --> 00:18:01] It says, "For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
[00:18:02 --> 00:18:05] or let Your holy one see corruption.
[00:18:05 --> 00:18:08] You make known to me the path of life.
[00:18:08 --> 00:18:11] In Your presence, there is fullness of joy.
[00:18:11 --> 00:18:15] At Your right hand, there are pleasures forevermore."
[00:18:15 --> 00:18:19] (gentle music continues)
[00:18:19 --> 00:18:23] This Psalm reminds us that Jesus rose from the dead,
[00:18:23 --> 00:18:26] conquering sin and death forever.
[00:18:27 --> 00:18:30] Just like these circles have no end,
[00:18:30 --> 00:18:32] Easter reminds us of eternal life with God.
[00:18:34 --> 00:18:38] (gentle music continues)
[00:18:38 --> 00:18:42] As we journey through Lent, let's reflect on God's mercy,
[00:18:42 --> 00:18:46] Jesus' sacrifice, and the joy of His resurrection.
[00:18:46 --> 00:18:49] (gentle music continues)
[00:18:53 --> 00:18:54] Thank you for joining us
[00:18:54 --> 00:18:57] in this quiet moment of prayer and reflection.
[00:18:58 --> 00:19:00] We'll see you next time on "Juice Box."
[00:19:00 --> 00:19:05] Until then, may God bless you and keep you in His peace.
[00:19:05 --> 00:19:06] Hi, friends.
[00:19:06 --> 00:19:07] Today, I'll be guiding you
[00:19:07 --> 00:19:09] through the Stations of the Cross.
[00:19:09 --> 00:19:13] Those are special reflections that help us pray and remember
[00:19:13 --> 00:19:16] what Jesus did on His way to the cross on Good Friday.
[00:19:16 --> 00:19:20] It was a sad day, but also the day that Jesus showed us
[00:19:20 --> 00:19:22] how much He loves us.
[00:19:22 --> 00:19:24] I went to go visit these life-sized statues
[00:19:24 --> 00:19:26] that show the Stations of the Cross,
[00:19:26 --> 00:19:28] and I also built them out of Legos.
[00:19:28 --> 00:19:31] Building things helps me understand them better.
[00:19:31 --> 00:19:33] Let's pray the Stations together.
[00:19:33 --> 00:19:34] "Juice Box."
[00:19:34 --> 00:19:35] (object splats)
[00:19:35 --> 00:19:37] (child giggles)
[00:19:37 --> 00:19:41] The first station, Jesus is condemned to death.
[00:19:42 --> 00:19:44] Jesus faces Pontius Pilate alone
[00:19:44 --> 00:19:47] without any of His friends or disciples.
[00:19:47 --> 00:19:51] He is accused of many crimes He didn't commit,
[00:19:51 --> 00:19:52] but Jesus stays calm.
[00:19:52 --> 00:19:55] He doesn't argue or yell.
[00:19:55 --> 00:19:56] Jesus was scared,
[00:19:56 --> 00:19:59] but He knew that He had to die for our sins.
[00:19:59 --> 00:20:02] Jesus, we often get scared of things
[00:20:02 --> 00:20:04] that we know will be hard;
[00:20:04 --> 00:20:06] help us to have courage like You did
[00:20:06 --> 00:20:09] and to remember You are always with us.
[00:20:10 --> 00:20:13] (pensive music)
[00:20:13 --> 00:20:17] The second station, Jesus takes up His cross.
[00:20:18 --> 00:20:20] The cross was big and heavy.
[00:20:20 --> 00:20:22] It was hard for Jesus to carry it.
[00:20:22 --> 00:20:24] He was very tired and weak.
[00:20:25 --> 00:20:27] But He still picked up His cross
[00:20:27 --> 00:20:31] and carried it to where He will die, because He loves us.
[00:20:31 --> 00:20:36] Jesus, we sometimes have hard times too and struggle,
[00:20:36 --> 00:20:38] those are like our crosses;
[00:20:38 --> 00:20:41] help us carry our crosses like You carried Yours.
[00:20:41 --> 00:20:43] There's nothing we can't handle together.
[00:20:45 --> 00:20:49] The third station, Jesus falls the first time.
[00:20:49 --> 00:20:51] The cross is very heavy,
[00:20:51 --> 00:20:52] and He falls on the rough ground
[00:20:52 --> 00:20:55] in front of a big crowd of people.
[00:20:55 --> 00:20:56] But Jesus gets back up,
[00:20:56 --> 00:20:59] puts the cross on His back and keeps going.
[00:20:59 --> 00:21:02] Jesus, You were hurt but never gave up.
[00:21:02 --> 00:21:06] You understand us when we fall or find something difficult.
[00:21:06 --> 00:21:08] Thank You for showing us how to get back up.
[00:21:09 --> 00:21:12] The fourth station, Jesus meets His mother.
[00:21:13 --> 00:21:17] It was very hard for a mom to watch her son suffer,
[00:21:17 --> 00:21:20] but she encourages Him and gives Him strength
[00:21:20 --> 00:21:22] just by being there.
[00:21:22 --> 00:21:24] Mary loves Jesus very much.
[00:21:24 --> 00:21:27] He was very happy to see her.
[00:21:27 --> 00:21:29] We are also like Mary's children,
[00:21:29 --> 00:21:31] and she loves us very much.
[00:21:32 --> 00:21:35] Jesus, sometimes we forget how much our parents love us.
[00:21:35 --> 00:21:38] You never forgot how much Mary loved You.
[00:21:38 --> 00:21:41] Help us to love her and trust her like You do.
[00:21:43 --> 00:21:48] The fifth station, Simon helps Jesus carry His cross.
[00:21:48 --> 00:21:51] Helping Jesus was not part of Simon's plan for the day,
[00:21:51 --> 00:21:54] he just came to see what was going on.
[00:21:54 --> 00:21:56] But soldiers pulled Simon from the crowd
[00:21:56 --> 00:21:59] and ordered he helped Jesus.
[00:21:59 --> 00:22:01] At first, Simon was angry.
[00:22:01 --> 00:22:04] But then he saw how much Jesus needed help.
[00:22:04 --> 00:22:06] Sometimes we don't want to help our friends,
[00:22:06 --> 00:22:10] brothers, and sisters, or parents when we should.
[00:22:10 --> 00:22:13] Jesus, help us to know that when I help others,
[00:22:13 --> 00:22:14] it's like helping You.
[00:22:16 --> 00:22:20] The sixth station, Veronica wipes the face of Jesus.
[00:22:20 --> 00:22:22] Veronica pushed through the crowd,
[00:22:22 --> 00:22:26] even faced angry soldiers to help Jesus.
[00:22:26 --> 00:22:29] She uses her own veil to wipe away Jesus' blood,
[00:22:29 --> 00:22:32] sweat, and tears from His face.
[00:22:32 --> 00:22:34] This made it easier for Jesus to keep going.
[00:22:34 --> 00:22:37] Jesus, help us to be more like Veronica
[00:22:37 --> 00:22:39] and be willing to take a risk
[00:22:39 --> 00:22:41] to help someone else who is struggling.
[00:22:42 --> 00:22:46] The seventh station, Jesus falls the second time.
[00:22:46 --> 00:22:49] The cross is getting heavier and harder to carry
[00:22:49 --> 00:22:51] as Jesus becomes more tired.
[00:22:51 --> 00:22:53] But while He's carrying the cross,
[00:22:53 --> 00:22:57] He's thinking of all the people He loves, including you.
[00:22:57 --> 00:22:58] This keeps Him going.
[00:22:58 --> 00:23:03] Jesus, life is hard sometimes, but You know that.
[00:23:03 --> 00:23:04] When I struggle and fall,
[00:23:04 --> 00:23:07] please catch me and give me strength to keep going,
[00:23:07 --> 00:23:09] just like You did.
[00:23:09 --> 00:23:13] The eighth station, Jesus meets the woman of Jerusalem.
[00:23:13 --> 00:23:16] Some of the women that knew Jesus and heard His teachings
[00:23:16 --> 00:23:18] were crying at the sight of His pain
[00:23:18 --> 00:23:20] now carrying the heavy cross.
[00:23:20 --> 00:23:23] Jesus told the women not to cry for Him
[00:23:23 --> 00:23:25] because He is doing the Father's will,
[00:23:25 --> 00:23:27] but to cry for the people who are sinning
[00:23:27 --> 00:23:29] because they need help.
[00:23:29 --> 00:23:32] Jesus, help me to be a faithful and caring friend
[00:23:32 --> 00:23:34] and to think of myself less.
[00:23:35 --> 00:23:38] The ninth station, Jesus falls the third time.
[00:23:38 --> 00:23:40] Jesus falls again,
[00:23:40 --> 00:23:43] but instead of helping Him, the soldiers just beat Him
[00:23:43 --> 00:23:45] and yell at Him louder.
[00:23:45 --> 00:23:48] Jesus didn't get mad at them; He forgave them.
[00:23:48 --> 00:23:50] Jesus, please help us to forgive
[00:23:50 --> 00:23:53] the people that did or said hurtful things to us,
[00:23:53 --> 00:23:55] just like You forgive everyone.
[00:23:57 --> 00:24:00] The 10th station, Jesus is stripped of His clothes.
[00:24:01 --> 00:24:04] After a very long and difficult walk up the hill,
[00:24:04 --> 00:24:07] the soldiers want to embarrass Jesus even more
[00:24:07 --> 00:24:09] by taking off His clothes.
[00:24:09 --> 00:24:11] But Jesus doesn't feel ashamed
[00:24:11 --> 00:24:14] because He knew His Father in heaven loved Him
[00:24:14 --> 00:24:17] and everyone there, even those that were hurting Him.
[00:24:18 --> 00:24:20] Jesus, thank You for showing us
[00:24:20 --> 00:24:23] we don't have to feel ashamed in front of God.
[00:24:23 --> 00:24:25] Remind us to go to You when we need help,
[00:24:25 --> 00:24:27] even if we are embarrassed.
[00:24:28 --> 00:24:32] The 11th station, Jesus is nailed to the cross.
[00:24:32 --> 00:24:36] The soldiers hammer nails into Jesus' hands and feet.
[00:24:36 --> 00:24:40] They lifted up the cross and put it in its place.
[00:24:40 --> 00:24:42] Jesus is in even more pain than ever,
[00:24:42 --> 00:24:44] but He still doesn't get angry or yell.
[00:24:44 --> 00:24:46] He starts to pray out loud,
[00:24:46 --> 00:24:49] asking God to forgive the soldiers
[00:24:49 --> 00:24:51] and the people who want to kill Him.
[00:24:51 --> 00:24:54] Jesus, it's very difficult to love when you're in pain
[00:24:54 --> 00:24:56] or when you're angry.
[00:24:56 --> 00:24:58] It's even harder to forgive those people.
[00:24:58 --> 00:25:00] Please help those that are feeling pain
[00:25:00 --> 00:25:03] and those that need Your love.
[00:25:03 --> 00:25:06] The 12th station, Jesus dies on the cross.
[00:25:06 --> 00:25:09] When Jesus died, the ground started to shake
[00:25:09 --> 00:25:13] and the sky got dark, even though it was daytime.
[00:25:13 --> 00:25:15] This made everyone very scared.
[00:25:15 --> 00:25:17] They saw that Jesus was innocent
[00:25:17 --> 00:25:19] and that they had made a big mistake.
[00:25:19 --> 00:25:23] Jesus, help me to admit when I make mistakes.
[00:25:23 --> 00:25:24] Help me to say I'm sorry.
[00:25:25 --> 00:25:28] I love You and I want to do the right thing.
[00:25:29 --> 00:25:33] The 13th station, Jesus is taken down from the cross.
[00:25:34 --> 00:25:38] Jesus died and is taken down from the cross.
[00:25:38 --> 00:25:40] His mother, Mary, holds Him in her arms.
[00:25:40 --> 00:25:44] His friends, John and Mary Magdalene, are there also.
[00:25:44 --> 00:25:47] Their hearts must have been broken.
[00:25:47 --> 00:25:49] They don't know what's going to happen next.
[00:25:49 --> 00:25:51] It feels like everything has gone wrong.
[00:25:52 --> 00:25:55] Jesus, we don't always understand what God is doing.
[00:25:55 --> 00:25:59] Help us to have faith that God loves us, and is with us,
[00:25:59 --> 00:26:01] and that He knows what is best.
[00:26:03 --> 00:26:07] The 14th station, Jesus is laid in the tomb.
[00:26:09 --> 00:26:11] A rich man named Joseph of Arimathea
[00:26:11 --> 00:26:14] gave Jesus His own burial cave
[00:26:14 --> 00:26:16] because Jesus didn't have a place to be buried.
[00:26:16 --> 00:26:18] They rolled a big rock
[00:26:18 --> 00:26:20] over the entrance of the tomb to close it.
[00:26:20 --> 00:26:22] This seems like the end of the story,
[00:26:22 --> 00:26:25] everyone must've felt very sad and lonely
[00:26:25 --> 00:26:27] now that Jesus was gone,
[00:26:27 --> 00:26:29] but we know that Jesus will rise.
[00:26:30 --> 00:26:32] Jesus, thank You for dying for us
[00:26:32 --> 00:26:34] so that we can get to heaven.
[00:26:34 --> 00:26:36] Even though Your death was so sad,
[00:26:36 --> 00:26:40] we now have hope because You will rise from the dead.
[00:26:40 --> 00:26:43] Help us to have hope when things seem dreadful.
[00:26:44 --> 00:26:47] (gentle music continues)
[00:26:47 --> 00:26:51] Thank you for praying the Stations of the Cross with me.
[00:26:51 --> 00:26:53] Jesus' story can be hard to think about,
[00:26:53 --> 00:26:57] but Jesus did all of that because He loves us.
[00:26:57 --> 00:26:59] By doing the Stations of the Cross,
[00:26:59 --> 00:27:03] we can walk with Jesus just like He walks with us every day.
[00:27:03 --> 00:27:04] See you next time.
[00:27:05 --> 00:27:08] Today, I want to pray with you
[00:27:08 --> 00:27:12] a very, very special prayer called Tenebrae.
[00:27:12 --> 00:27:16] Tenebrae means darkness and shadow.
[00:27:16 --> 00:27:18] During this prayer, we light candles.
[00:27:18 --> 00:27:21] And then after we do a reading,
[00:27:21 --> 00:27:24] we extinguish one of the candles.
[00:27:24 --> 00:27:26] The room gets darker and darker
[00:27:26 --> 00:27:29] after each candle is extinguished,
[00:27:29 --> 00:27:34] and that reminds us how the world got darker and darker
[00:27:34 --> 00:27:37] as Jesus suffered and died for us.
[00:27:37 --> 00:27:40] So amidst all the other candles going out,
[00:27:40 --> 00:27:44] one candle remains, the light of Jesus.
[00:27:44 --> 00:27:48] So, today, we are going to use seven different candles,
[00:27:48 --> 00:27:51] and we're gonna read from the Gospel of Mark.
[00:27:51 --> 00:27:56] So my invitation for all of us is to quiet down
[00:27:56 --> 00:28:00] and prepare our hearts to really pay attention to Jesus.
[00:28:00 --> 00:28:02] "Juice Box."
[00:28:02 --> 00:28:03] (object splats)
[00:28:03 --> 00:28:04] (child giggles)
[00:28:04 --> 00:28:06] (solemn music)
[00:28:13 --> 00:28:15] In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
[00:28:15 --> 00:28:18] and of the Holy Spirit, amen.
[00:28:18 --> 00:28:22] Grace to you and peace from God our Father
[00:28:22 --> 00:28:24] and the Lord Jesus Christ.
[00:28:24 --> 00:28:25] Amen.
[00:28:25 --> 00:28:28] Blessed be the name of the Lord our God-
[00:28:28 --> 00:28:30] Who redeems us from sin and death.
[00:28:30 --> 00:28:32] For us and for our salvation,
[00:28:32 --> 00:28:37] Christ became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.
[00:28:37 --> 00:28:39] Blessed be the name of the Lord.
[00:28:40 --> 00:28:42] (solemn music)
[00:28:42 --> 00:28:43] "As soon as morning came,
[00:28:43 --> 00:28:46] the chief priests with the elders and the scribes,
[00:28:46 --> 00:28:51] that is, the whole Sanhedrin, held a council.
[00:28:51 --> 00:28:54] They bound Jesus, led Him away,
[00:28:54 --> 00:28:56] and handed Him over to Pilate.
[00:28:57 --> 00:29:01] Pilate questioned Him, 'Are you the King of the Jews?'
[00:29:02 --> 00:29:05] He said to him in reply, 'You say so.'
[00:29:07 --> 00:29:10] The chief priests accused Him of many things.
[00:29:10 --> 00:29:15] Again Pilate questioned Him, 'Have you no answer?
[00:29:15 --> 00:29:17] See how many things they accuse you of.'
[00:29:18 --> 00:29:20] Jesus gave him no further answer,
[00:29:20 --> 00:29:23] so that Pilate was amazed."
[00:29:24 --> 00:29:28] So Jesus was accused for something He did not do.
[00:29:28 --> 00:29:31] Boys and girls, have you ever experienced that?
[00:29:31 --> 00:29:34] Being accused of something that you didn't do?
[00:29:34 --> 00:29:37] Jesus knows how that feels,
[00:29:37 --> 00:29:39] and so you can give that to Him.
[00:29:39 --> 00:29:42] You can tell Jesus about it because He knows.

[00:29:59 --> 00:30:03] he used to release to them one prisoner whom they requested.
[00:30:03 --> 00:30:05] A man called Barabbas
[00:30:05 --> 00:30:08] was then in prison along with the rebels
[00:30:08 --> 00:30:10] who had committed murder in a rebellion.
[00:30:11 --> 00:30:15] The crowd came forward and began to ask him to do for them
[00:30:15 --> 00:30:16] as he was accustomed.
[00:30:18 --> 00:30:22] Pilate answered, 'Do you want me to release to you
[00:30:22 --> 00:30:23] the King of the Jews?'
[00:30:23 --> 00:30:26] For he knew that it was out of envy
[00:30:26 --> 00:30:29] that the chief priests had handed Him over.
[00:30:29 --> 00:30:31] But the chief priests stirred up the crowd
[00:30:31 --> 00:30:34] to have him release Barabbas for them instead.
[00:30:34 --> 00:30:36] Pilate again said to them in reply,
[00:30:36 --> 00:30:38] 'Then what do you want me to do
[00:30:38 --> 00:30:42] with the man you call the King of the Jews?'
[00:30:42 --> 00:30:45] They shouted again, 'Crucify Him.'
[00:30:45 --> 00:30:47] Pilate said to them, 'Why?
[00:30:47 --> 00:30:49] What evil has He done?'
[00:30:51 --> 00:30:54] They only shouted the louder, 'Crucify Him.'
[00:30:55 --> 00:30:57] So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd,
[00:30:57 --> 00:31:00] released Barabbas to them
[00:31:00 --> 00:31:02] and, after he had Jesus scourged,
[00:31:02 --> 00:31:07] handed Him over to be crucified."
[00:31:07 --> 00:31:11] The crowd shouted at Jesus, "Crucify Him.
[00:31:11 --> 00:31:12] Crucify Him,"
[00:31:12 --> 00:31:15] when Jesus didn't do anything wrong.

[00:31:47 --> 00:31:50] They clothed Him in purple and, weaving a crown of thorns,
[00:31:50 --> 00:31:52] placed it on Him.
[00:31:53 --> 00:31:58] They began to salute Him with, 'Hail, King of the Jews,'
[00:31:58 --> 00:32:00] and kept striking His head with a reed
[00:32:00 --> 00:32:02] and spitting upon Him.
[00:32:02 --> 00:32:05] They knelt before Him in homage.
[00:32:06 --> 00:32:07] And when they had mocked Him,

[00:32:16 --> 00:32:20] Boys and girls, Jesus was mocked.
[00:32:20 --> 00:32:22] Jesus was made fun of.
[00:32:22 --> 00:32:26] Have you ever been mocked or made fun of?
[00:32:26 --> 00:32:29] Jesus knows how that feels.
[00:32:29 --> 00:32:33] And He wants to be with you when you are mocked,

[00:33:40 --> 00:33:43] They gave Him wine drugged with myrrh,
[00:33:43 --> 00:33:46] but He did not take it.
[00:33:46 --> 00:33:48] Then they crucified Him and divided his garments
[00:33:48 --> 00:33:52] by casting lots for them to see what each should take.
[00:33:52 --> 00:33:55] It was nine o'clock in the morning when they crucified Him.
[00:33:56 --> 00:33:59] The inscription of the charge against Him read,
[00:33:59 --> 00:34:02] 'The King of the Jews.'
[00:34:02 --> 00:34:05] With Him they crucified two revolutionaries,

[00:34:16 --> 00:34:18] and build it in three days,

[00:34:22 --> 00:34:25] Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes,
[00:34:25 --> 00:34:28] mocked Him among themselves and said,

[00:35:34 --> 00:35:39] 'Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani,' which is translated,
[00:35:39 --> 00:35:43] 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'
[00:35:43 --> 00:35:47] Some of the bystanders who heard it said,

[00:37:18 --> 00:37:20] since it was the day of preparation,
[00:37:20 --> 00:37:23] the day before the Sabbath,
[00:37:23 --> 00:37:27] Joseph of Arimathea, a distinguished member of the council,
[00:37:27 --> 00:37:31] who was himself awaiting the kingdom of God,
[00:37:31 --> 00:37:34] came and courageously went to Pilate
[00:37:34 --> 00:37:37] and asked for the body of Jesus.
[00:37:37 --> 00:37:40] Pilate was amazed that He was already dead.
[00:37:40 --> 00:37:41] He summoned the centurion
[00:37:41 --> 00:37:44] and asked him if Jesus had already died.
[00:37:44 --> 00:37:47] And when he had learned of it from the centurion,
[00:37:47 --> 00:37:49] he gave the body to Joseph.
[00:37:50 --> 00:37:53] Having brought a linen cloth, he took Him down,
[00:37:53 --> 00:37:55] wrapped Him in the linen cloth
[00:37:55 --> 00:38:00] and laid Him in a tomb that had been hewn out of a rock.
[00:38:00 --> 00:38:04] Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.
[00:38:06 --> 00:38:09] Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of Joses,
[00:38:09 --> 00:38:12] watched where He was laid."
[00:38:14 --> 00:38:16] So boys and girls, remember,
[00:38:16 --> 00:38:19] we don't blow out the last candle,
[00:38:19 --> 00:38:23] but we hide the candle and we hide the light.
[00:38:23 --> 00:38:28] This represents that Jesus is still with us,
[00:38:28 --> 00:38:31] that He remains even though we may not see Him.
[00:38:31 --> 00:38:33] He is always there,
[00:38:33 --> 00:38:36] and the light of Christ is always burning.
[00:38:36 --> 00:38:38] So boys and girls, in this moment,
[00:38:38 --> 00:38:43] we remember the earth breaking as Jesus died;
[00:38:43 --> 00:38:48] the earth shook because the world was broken
[00:38:48 --> 00:38:50] when Jesus died.
[00:38:50 --> 00:38:52] And so, boys and girls,
[00:38:52 --> 00:38:55] can you make a really, really loud noise like an earthquake,
[00:38:55 --> 00:38:58] like the earth shaking, and join me in doing that?
[00:38:59 --> 00:39:02] (ground rumbling)
[00:39:06 --> 00:39:08] Boys and girls, let's just take a moment
[00:39:08 --> 00:39:13] to remember and think about how much Jesus loves us.
[00:39:13 --> 00:39:16] (solemn music)
[00:39:18 --> 00:39:23] Even in darkness, even when things seem so, so dark,
[00:39:24 --> 00:39:29] the light of Jesus is still shining and it never goes out.
[00:39:29 --> 00:39:30] Okay, boys and girls,
[00:39:30 --> 00:39:33] now we're going to pray the Litany of Light.
[00:39:33 --> 00:39:35] And your response is-
[00:39:35 --> 00:39:37] Christ, be our light.
[00:39:37 --> 00:39:41] In these days of shadows and darkness-
[00:39:41 --> 00:39:43] Christ, be our light.
[00:39:43 --> 00:39:46] For our sisters and brothers who are sick and struggling-
[00:39:46 --> 00:39:48] Christ, be our light.
[00:39:48 --> 00:39:51] In my doubt and in my worry-
[00:39:51 --> 00:39:53] Christ, be our light.
[00:39:53 --> 00:39:55] In moments when hope eludes me-
[00:39:55 --> 00:39:57] Christ, be our light.
[00:39:57 --> 00:39:59] When we fear for those we love-
[00:39:59 --> 00:40:01] Christ, be our light.
[00:40:01 --> 00:40:04] When we dread the darkness of nightfall-
[00:40:04 --> 00:40:06] Christ, be our light.
[00:40:06 --> 00:40:10] When sleep will not come and our hearts are anxious-
[00:40:10 --> 00:40:12] Christ, be our light.
[00:40:12 --> 00:40:15] When morning breaks and we enter a new day-
[00:40:15 --> 00:40:17] Christ, be our light.
[00:40:17 --> 00:40:20] When we are needed by family and friends-
[00:40:20 --> 00:40:22] Christ, be our light.
[00:40:22 --> 00:40:25] When we are called to love without counting the cost-
[00:40:25 --> 00:40:27] Christ, be our light.
[00:40:27 --> 00:40:31] When the crosses we bear seem more than we can carry-
[00:40:31 --> 00:40:33] Christ, be our light.
[00:40:33 --> 00:40:37] Lord Jesus, light in our darkness,
[00:40:37 --> 00:40:41] stay close to us and take away any darkness
[00:40:41 --> 00:40:43] that is surrounding us.
[00:40:43 --> 00:40:45] Get rid of any fear
[00:40:45 --> 00:40:48] or anything that is preventing us from You.
[00:40:48 --> 00:40:52] Help us to enter into a beautiful Holy Week
[00:40:52 --> 00:40:55] so that we can always be close to You
[00:40:55 --> 00:41:00] and remind us that You are our light in the darkness.
[00:41:00 --> 00:41:03] Jesus, we love You. Amen.
[00:41:04 --> 00:41:06] In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
[00:41:06 --> 00:41:08] and of the Holy Spirit, amen.
[00:41:08 --> 00:41:10] Boys and girls, thank you so much
[00:41:10 --> 00:41:12] for joining me in praying Tenebrae.
[00:41:12 --> 00:41:17] Sometimes the story of the Crucifixion is hard to hear,
[00:41:18 --> 00:41:22] but it's your story, and it's my story,
[00:41:22 --> 00:41:25] and it's Jesus's story for us.
[00:41:25 --> 00:41:28] Jesus loves you so, so much
[00:41:28 --> 00:41:31] that, even in all of this darkness,
[00:41:31 --> 00:41:33] we still have Him as the light.
[00:41:33 --> 00:41:36] The Tenebrae service is often prayed
[00:41:36 --> 00:41:39] either on Holy Thursday or Good Friday of Holy Week.
[00:41:39 --> 00:41:42] If your parish offers Tenebrae this week,
[00:41:42 --> 00:41:44] ask your parent if you can go.
[00:41:44 --> 00:41:47] This reminds us of the darkness
[00:41:47 --> 00:41:50] so that when we celebrate Easter,
[00:41:50 --> 00:41:53] the light is that much brighter.
[00:41:53 --> 00:41:55] And a special thank you to Grace Elaine
[00:41:55 --> 00:41:58] from Sing With Grace for the music in today's episode.
[00:41:58 --> 00:41:59] You could find more
[00:41:59 --> 00:42:01] about her Catholic music resources for families
[00:42:01 --> 00:42:03] in the description below.
[00:42:03 --> 00:42:07] Don't forget to subscribe to "Juice Box" for more prayers.
[00:42:07 --> 00:42:09] I love you, praying for you.
[00:42:09 --> 00:42:10] Goodbye, we'll see you next time.
[00:42:12 --> 00:42:14] Easter is the most important holiday
[00:42:14 --> 00:42:16] in our Catholic faith.
[00:42:16 --> 00:42:19] But do you know what happened on Easter morning?
[00:42:19 --> 00:42:22] How do we know Jesus wasn't in the tomb?
[00:42:22 --> 00:42:23] Who was there?
[00:42:23 --> 00:42:25] (bright music)
[00:42:25 --> 00:42:28] Let's learn more about what happened that day
[00:42:28 --> 00:42:31] by playing with this Easter Playset from Saintly Heart.
[00:42:31 --> 00:42:32] Let's go.
[00:42:33 --> 00:42:35] "Juice Box."
[00:42:35 --> 00:42:35] (object splats)
[00:42:35 --> 00:42:37] (child giggles)
[00:42:37 --> 00:42:41] After Jesus died on the cross on Good Friday,
[00:42:41 --> 00:42:42] some of His friends took Him down
[00:42:42 --> 00:42:46] and placed Him in a dark cave called a tomb.
[00:42:50 --> 00:42:53] A heavy stone was rolled in front of the cave entrance.
[00:42:53 --> 00:42:55] Jesus' disciples were very sad
[00:42:55 --> 00:42:58] that they could not see Jesus anymore.
[00:42:58 --> 00:43:01] A guard was told to stand in front of the tomb.
[00:43:02 --> 00:43:03] (Dilly grunts)
[00:43:03 --> 00:43:05] "I don't want anyone to steal His body
[00:43:05 --> 00:43:08] and say He rose by himself.
[00:43:08 --> 00:43:11] I'm going to be here all day and all night."
[00:43:11 --> 00:43:14] The disciples were scared of the guards,
[00:43:14 --> 00:43:16] so they ran away and hid together.
[00:43:17 --> 00:43:20] The guards stood there all night and all day.
[00:43:20 --> 00:43:23] On Sunday, very early in the morning,
[00:43:23 --> 00:43:26] Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James
[00:43:26 --> 00:43:28] went to the tomb of Jesus.
[00:43:28 --> 00:43:30] "I brought these special oils and spices
[00:43:30 --> 00:43:34] to anoint and honor Jesus," said Mary Magdalene.
[00:43:34 --> 00:43:38] "But the stone is so large. How will we move it,"
[00:43:38 --> 00:43:39] asked the other Mary.
[00:43:39 --> 00:43:41] "Hmm."
[00:43:41 --> 00:43:43] But when they arrived to the tomb,
[00:43:43 --> 00:43:45] there was a great earthquake.
[00:43:45 --> 00:43:46] "Whoa! What's happening?"
[00:43:46 --> 00:43:48] Suddenly an angel appeared.
[00:43:48 --> 00:43:50] He was glowing like lightning
[00:43:50 --> 00:43:53] and His clothes were white as snow.
[00:43:53 --> 00:43:57] He rolled back the stone that was in front of Jesus' tomb.
[00:43:57 --> 00:43:59] The guard was so afraid of Him
[00:43:59 --> 00:44:01] that he shook and became like a dead man.
[00:44:02 --> 00:44:06] The angel said to the woman, "Do not be afraid,
[00:44:06 --> 00:44:09] for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.
[00:44:09 --> 00:44:11] He is not here.
[00:44:11 --> 00:44:13] He has risen, just as he said.
[00:44:14 --> 00:44:16] Go quickly and tell His disciples
[00:44:16 --> 00:44:18] He has risen from the dead."
[00:44:18 --> 00:44:20] Just as they were about to run,
[00:44:20 --> 00:44:21] Jesus appeared in front of them.
[00:44:22 --> 00:44:23] ♪ Alleluia ♪
[00:44:23 --> 00:44:24] "Greetings," Jesus said.
[00:44:24 --> 00:44:26] "Jesus, you have risen!
[00:44:26 --> 00:44:29] You truly are God! We love you!"
[00:44:29 --> 00:44:33] "Go tell the other disciples that I have risen."
[00:44:33 --> 00:44:36] Mary quickly ran to find Peter and John
[00:44:36 --> 00:44:38] and told them what happened.
[00:44:38 --> 00:44:41] (bright music)
[00:44:50 --> 00:44:52] "What Jesus said what happened has happened.
[00:44:52 --> 00:44:54] He has risen from the dead.
[00:44:54 --> 00:44:55] His tomb is empty."
[00:44:56 --> 00:44:58] "We must go see for ourselves."
[00:44:58 --> 00:45:01] "I'll race you there, Peter."
[00:45:01 --> 00:45:03] The two disciples ran to the tomb.
[00:45:04 --> 00:45:06] (Dilly panting)
[00:45:06 --> 00:45:09] John beat Peter there and took a peek,
[00:45:09 --> 00:45:12] but was too nervous to go into the tomb.
[00:45:12 --> 00:45:16] He saw the linen clothes laying there, but no Jesus.
[00:45:16 --> 00:45:19] When Peter caught up, he went to the tomb to check it out.
[00:45:19 --> 00:45:21] "Peter, what do you see?"
[00:45:21 --> 00:45:24] "I don't see Jesus in here, John,
[00:45:24 --> 00:45:26] but I see the cloth He was wrapped in
[00:45:26 --> 00:45:28] and the cloth that was on His face.
[00:45:28 --> 00:45:30] It's all neatly folded up."
[00:45:32 --> 00:45:36] "Peter, I believe He has risen. This is amazing!"
[00:45:36 --> 00:45:38] For many days after Easter morning,
[00:45:38 --> 00:45:41] Jesus appeared to many disciples and other people.
[00:45:41 --> 00:45:43] Everyone was so happy.
[00:45:43 --> 00:45:46] He gave His disciples an important mission:
[00:45:46 --> 00:45:49] go out into the world and tell everyone what has happened,
[00:45:49 --> 00:45:53] make disciples and teach people what I have taught you.
[00:45:53 --> 00:45:56] We say alleluia, which means praise the Lord.
[00:45:57 --> 00:45:59] Let's all say it together. Alleluia.
[00:46:02 --> 00:46:04] I love the story of Easter.
[00:46:04 --> 00:46:06] It's so sad that Jesus had to die in the cross,
[00:46:06 --> 00:46:10] but then it's so amazing how He rose from the dead.
[00:46:10 --> 00:46:12] Not only did He come alive in person,
[00:46:12 --> 00:46:14] but He comes alive inside of our hearts
[00:46:14 --> 00:46:18] and makes us brand new so that we can be near Him forever.
[00:46:18 --> 00:46:22] Nothing can ever separate us from God's love again,
[00:46:22 --> 00:46:23] that's why we celebrate Easter.
[00:46:23 --> 00:46:26] Thanks again to Saintly Heart for this Easter set.
[00:46:26 --> 00:46:28] It was so fun to play with.
[00:46:28 --> 00:46:30] Until next time, friends, bye.
[00:46:31 --> 00:46:34] Hi, friends. Look what I have today.
[00:46:34 --> 00:46:39] I was out, walking in the field, when I saw a colorful egg.
[00:46:39 --> 00:46:42] And then I saw another one, and another one.
[00:46:42 --> 00:46:44] So I collected all of the eggs
[00:46:44 --> 00:46:46] and I put them in this basket,
[00:46:46 --> 00:46:49] a basket full of Easter eggs.
[00:46:49 --> 00:46:52] Do you see all these different colors?
[00:46:52 --> 00:46:56] There's pink, and there's green, and orange,
[00:46:56 --> 00:46:58] and blue, and yellow.
[00:46:58 --> 00:47:00] So many different colors.
[00:47:00 --> 00:47:03] But these aren't just regular Easter eggs.
[00:47:03 --> 00:47:04] Hmm?
[00:47:04 --> 00:47:09] I think that inside each Easter egg is a surprise.
[00:47:09 --> 00:47:12] A surprise that tells us the true story of Easter.
[00:47:12 --> 00:47:16] The story of Jesus.
[00:47:17 --> 00:47:18] Are you ready?
[00:47:18 --> 00:47:20] Let's go open them together.
[00:47:20 --> 00:47:21] "Juice Box."
[00:47:21 --> 00:47:22] (object splats)
[00:47:22 --> 00:47:23] (child giggles)
[00:47:23 --> 00:47:25] Do you hear them?
[00:47:25 --> 00:47:26] (water splashing)
[00:47:26 --> 00:47:28] It sounds like splashing,
[00:47:28 --> 00:47:30] and the egg is kind of wet.
[00:47:32 --> 00:47:33] Ah, (chuckles) it's water.
[00:47:34 --> 00:47:37] Jesus died for our sins.
[00:47:37 --> 00:47:41] Then on Easter, He rose to give us new life
[00:47:41 --> 00:47:43] as sons and daughters of God.
[00:47:43 --> 00:47:46] During baptism, when the water is poured
[00:47:46 --> 00:47:48] and washes away our sins, (baby whines)
[00:47:48 --> 00:47:50] we become part of God's family.
[00:47:50 --> 00:47:52] Let's open another egg.
[00:47:52 --> 00:47:54] (eggs clatter)
[00:47:54 --> 00:47:55] What could it be?
[00:47:55 --> 00:47:56] Let's open it.
[00:47:57 --> 00:48:02] Ooh, (gasps) it's a little lamb.
[00:48:02 --> 00:48:04] What sound does a lamb make?
[00:48:04 --> 00:48:05] Baa!
[00:48:05 --> 00:48:10] In the Bible, Jesus is called the Lamb of God.
[00:48:10 --> 00:48:13] Lambs are so cute and soft,
[00:48:13 --> 00:48:14] (lamb bleats)
[00:48:14 --> 00:48:16] and their fleece is as white as snow.
[00:48:17 --> 00:48:22] A long time ago, lambs were offered as a sacrifice to God.
[00:48:22 --> 00:48:26] A sacrifice is something given completely in love.
[00:48:26 --> 00:48:31] Well, Jesus became the perfect sacrifice, the Lamb of God.
[00:48:32 --> 00:48:36] He gave His life to take away all the sins of the world.
[00:48:36 --> 00:48:39] Now, these little lambs remind us
[00:48:39 --> 00:48:42] of how much Jesus loves us.
[00:48:42 --> 00:48:45] Okay, little lamb, let's open some more eggs.
[00:48:45 --> 00:48:46] (eggs clatter) (lamb bleats)
[00:48:46 --> 00:48:48] Let's open another one. Ooh.
[00:48:48 --> 00:48:50] (object clatters)
[00:48:50 --> 00:48:52] That's a fun sound.
[00:48:52 --> 00:48:54] (gasps) Whoa, look at this.
[00:48:55 --> 00:48:59] It's a cross with Jesus on it.
[00:48:59 --> 00:49:01] The cross is where Jesus died.
[00:49:01 --> 00:49:05] But the cross is also the greatest sign of love,
[00:49:05 --> 00:49:09] because Jesus chose to give His life to us
[00:49:09 --> 00:49:10] here on the cross.
[00:49:10 --> 00:49:15] In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
[00:49:16 --> 00:49:20] Every time we do that, we remember Jesus on the cross.
[00:49:20 --> 00:49:22] (eggs clatter)
[00:49:22 --> 00:49:23] Let's open another one.
[00:49:23 --> 00:49:25] I like this big blue egg.
[00:49:26 --> 00:49:28] Ooh, that sounds interesting. What's in there?
[00:49:28 --> 00:49:30] Let's open it.
[00:49:30 --> 00:49:31] Ooh.
[00:49:32 --> 00:49:35] (gasps) It's a Roman guard.
[00:49:35 --> 00:49:38] After Jesus died, He was placed in a tomb.
[00:49:38 --> 00:49:42] A tomb is like a cave where someone was buried.
[00:49:42 --> 00:49:45] Roman guards were sent to watch the tomb of Jesus
[00:49:45 --> 00:49:47] so no one would take His body.
[00:49:47 --> 00:49:50] But even though the guards stood at the tomb
[00:49:50 --> 00:49:55] all day and all night, something amazing happened.
[00:49:55 --> 00:49:59] Mm, maybe another egg will tell us
[00:49:59 --> 00:50:01] what that amazing thing was.
[00:50:01 --> 00:50:02] Let's open another egg.
[00:50:02 --> 00:50:03] (eggs clatter)
[00:50:03 --> 00:50:04] Let's see what it is.
[00:50:05 --> 00:50:09] (gasps) It's a rock?
[00:50:09 --> 00:50:11] (dismayed music)
[00:50:11 --> 00:50:12] Ohh.
[00:50:12 --> 00:50:16] A huge stone was rolled in front of Jesus' tomb.
[00:50:16 --> 00:50:19] Can you pretend to roll a big rock with me?
[00:50:19 --> 00:50:20] Let's push.
[00:50:20 --> 00:50:22] (dramatic music)
[00:50:22 --> 00:50:25] (speaker grunts)
[00:50:25 --> 00:50:27] (ground rumbling)
[00:50:27 --> 00:50:29] (dramatic music continues)
[00:50:29 --> 00:50:30] (audio dings)
[00:50:30 --> 00:50:33] Oh, that rock was really heavy.
[00:50:33 --> 00:50:36] But on Easter morning, the stone,
[00:50:36 --> 00:50:39] that big, heavy stone that was in front of Jesus' tomb
[00:50:39 --> 00:50:41] was rolled away.
[00:50:41 --> 00:50:44] Who do you think would roll such a heavy stone away?
[00:50:44 --> 00:50:47] Hmm, someone really strong.
[00:50:47 --> 00:50:50] (eggs clatter)
[00:50:50 --> 00:50:51] Let's open up another pink egg.
[00:50:53 --> 00:50:53] Whoa.
[00:50:54 --> 00:50:58] When Jesus died, His friends wrapped Him up in cloth
[00:50:58 --> 00:51:00] and placed Him in the tomb.
[00:51:00 --> 00:51:02] But when the disciples came back,
[00:51:02 --> 00:51:04] the cloths were still there.
[00:51:04 --> 00:51:07] Jesus didn't need them anymore.
[00:51:07 --> 00:51:09] Because He wasn't dead,
[00:51:09 --> 00:51:11] He had risen from the dead.
[00:51:11 --> 00:51:13] The cloths were left behind to show us
[00:51:13 --> 00:51:17] that death was finished and Jesus was alive.
[00:51:17 --> 00:51:18] (fanfare music)
[00:51:18 --> 00:51:20] We have a few more eggs left. Let's go open them.
[00:51:20 --> 00:51:22] (eggs clatter)
[00:51:22 --> 00:51:24] Whoa, this egg is stuffed.
[00:51:24 --> 00:51:25] Let's see what's inside.
[00:51:26 --> 00:51:28] (speaker gasps)
[00:51:28 --> 00:51:31] There's one, (jaunty music)
[00:51:31 --> 00:51:32] two,
[00:51:33 --> 00:51:36] three women.
[00:51:36 --> 00:51:39] These are three women who loved Jesus very much.
[00:51:39 --> 00:51:41] We have Mary Magdalene,
[00:51:41 --> 00:51:45] Mary the mother of James, and Salome.
[00:51:45 --> 00:51:48] Early on Easter morning, the women went to the tomb.
[00:51:49 --> 00:51:50] But when they arrived,
[00:51:50 --> 00:51:52] the stone had already been rolled away
[00:51:52 --> 00:51:57] and the tomb was open, and someone was waiting for them.
[00:51:57 --> 00:52:00] Okay, let's put this one away and open up another one.
[00:52:00 --> 00:52:03] (eggs clatter)
[00:52:03 --> 00:52:05] Did you see this yellow egg? It's so bright.
[00:52:05 --> 00:52:07] I wonder what's inside.
[00:52:08 --> 00:52:10] It's an angel!
[00:52:10 --> 00:52:13] The angel that was waiting at the tomb.
[00:52:13 --> 00:52:15] The angel said something amazing.
[00:52:15 --> 00:52:17] He said, (clears throat)
[00:52:17 --> 00:52:20] "Do not be afraid.
[00:52:20 --> 00:52:24] Jesus is not here. Jesus has risen!"
[00:52:24 --> 00:52:27] That means Jesus rose from the dead.
[00:52:27 --> 00:52:28] He's alive!
[00:52:28 --> 00:52:32] Can you say, "He is risen"?
[00:52:32 --> 00:52:34] He is risen!
[00:52:34 --> 00:52:36] Did anyone else go to the tomb?
[00:52:36 --> 00:52:38] Hmm, let's see.
[00:52:38 --> 00:52:41] (eggs clatter)
[00:52:41 --> 00:52:45] Mm, I don't think we've opened a green egg yet.
[00:52:45 --> 00:52:47] What's in here?
[00:52:48 --> 00:52:53] (gasps) We have one, two men.
[00:52:54 --> 00:52:56] Who are these two guys?
[00:52:56 --> 00:53:00] These are Jesus' apostles, Peter and John.
[00:53:00 --> 00:53:03] They were His friends and followers.
[00:53:03 --> 00:53:05] They heard that the tomb might be empty,
[00:53:05 --> 00:53:07] so they ran to go see it.
[00:53:07 --> 00:53:09] Can you run with me?
[00:53:09 --> 00:53:10] Come on, let's run.
[00:53:10 --> 00:53:12] (whimsical music)
[00:53:12 --> 00:53:13] Come on, run faster.
[00:53:13 --> 00:53:17] (whimsical music continues)
[00:53:18 --> 00:53:22] When they got to the tomb, they looked inside,
[00:53:22 --> 00:53:26] but all they saw was the cloth, and Jesus was gone.
[00:53:26 --> 00:53:29] Where did Jesus go? What happened to Jesus?
[00:53:29 --> 00:53:31] Let's keep opening some more eggs.
[00:53:31 --> 00:53:33] (eggs clatter)
[00:53:33 --> 00:53:37] Friends, this egg is the most important egg.
[00:53:37 --> 00:53:40] Everything that we've opened before this,
[00:53:40 --> 00:53:45] like the friends, the cross, the rock, or the angel,
[00:53:45 --> 00:53:48] they all lead up to this egg.
[00:53:48 --> 00:53:49] Let's shake it.
[00:53:50 --> 00:53:51] (audience gasps)
[00:53:51 --> 00:53:53] What do you think is inside?
[00:53:53 --> 00:53:54] (audience gasps)
[00:53:54 --> 00:53:56] Let's open it.
[00:53:56 --> 00:53:58] (suspenseful music)
[00:53:58 --> 00:53:58] It's
[00:54:00 --> 00:54:01] Jesus!
[00:54:01 --> 00:54:03] (audience cheering) (audience applauding)
[00:54:03 --> 00:54:06] Jesus truly died on the cross.
[00:54:06 --> 00:54:08] His friends put Him in the tomb.
[00:54:08 --> 00:54:12] But on the third day, something amazing happened.
[00:54:12 --> 00:54:14] Jesus rose from the dead.
[00:54:14 --> 00:54:16] He came back to life.
[00:54:16 --> 00:54:19] He defeated sin, He defeated death,
[00:54:19 --> 00:54:22] and now He's alive forever.
[00:54:22 --> 00:54:23] Weew! Yay!
[00:54:26 --> 00:54:28] That's why we celebrate Easter.
[00:54:28 --> 00:54:32] Jesus didn't stay in the tomb, He is risen.
[00:54:32 --> 00:54:35] Can you say that with me? Jesus is risen!
[00:54:35 --> 00:54:36] (eggs clatter)
[00:54:36 --> 00:54:38] We still have some eggs.
[00:54:38 --> 00:54:39] (eggs clatter)
[00:54:39 --> 00:54:41] What else can they be?
[00:54:41 --> 00:54:41] (eggs clatter)
[00:54:41 --> 00:54:44] Let's open this pink one.
[00:54:46 --> 00:54:48] Oh, a bunny.
[00:54:48 --> 00:54:49] (bunny toy squeaks)
[00:54:49 --> 00:54:52] Now, bunnies aren't in the Easter story in the Bible,
[00:54:52 --> 00:54:54] but they do remind us of something important.
[00:54:54 --> 00:54:58] Bunnies became a symbol of new life.
[00:54:58 --> 00:55:01] And Easter is the greatest story of new life
[00:55:01 --> 00:55:05] because Jesus gave us new life.
[00:55:05 --> 00:55:09] In the springtime, we see new life everywhere.
[00:55:09 --> 00:55:12] Flowers grow, baby animals are born,
[00:55:12 --> 00:55:13] like baby bunnies.
[00:55:13 --> 00:55:15] Will you hop like a bunny with me?
[00:55:15 --> 00:55:18] Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop.
[00:55:18 --> 00:55:20] (eggs clatter)
[00:55:20 --> 00:55:23] (chicks chirping)
[00:55:23 --> 00:55:25] Do you hear that?
[00:55:26 --> 00:55:28] Where is that sound coming from?
[00:55:29 --> 00:55:31] I think it's in this one.
[00:55:32 --> 00:55:35] (gasps) It's a little baby chick.
[00:55:36 --> 00:55:40] Chicks start their life inside of an egg.
[00:55:40 --> 00:55:43] From the outside, it just looks like a shell.
[00:55:43 --> 00:55:46] But on the inside, something really special is happening.
[00:55:46 --> 00:55:50] One day, the shell will break open
[00:55:50 --> 00:55:53] and out comes new life.
[00:55:53 --> 00:55:55] Does that remind you of something?
[00:55:55 --> 00:55:56] Hmm.
[00:55:57 --> 00:56:00] The tomb on Easter morning, that's right.
[00:56:00 --> 00:56:05] The tomb was closed, but then Jesus came out alive.
[00:56:05 --> 00:56:08] Just like the chick comes out of the egg,
[00:56:08 --> 00:56:13] Jesus rose from the tomb and brought new life to the world.
[00:56:13 --> 00:56:15] (eggs clatter)
[00:56:15 --> 00:56:17] We've opened a lot of eggs today.
[00:56:17 --> 00:56:19] We have one more.
[00:56:19 --> 00:56:20] Let's open it.
[00:56:22 --> 00:56:27] Look, a little boy and a little girl.
[00:56:27 --> 00:56:28] Just like you.
[00:56:28 --> 00:56:30] The Easter story isn't just something
[00:56:30 --> 00:56:32] that happened long ago,
[00:56:32 --> 00:56:34] you're part of that story too.
[00:56:34 --> 00:56:37] So when we celebrate Easter,
[00:56:37 --> 00:56:39] we're celebrating something that Jesus did
[00:56:39 --> 00:56:41] for the whole world.
[00:56:41 --> 00:56:44] He did it for you, and He did it for me.
[00:56:44 --> 00:56:47] That means we can follow Jesus,
[00:56:47 --> 00:56:51] love others, and share the good news.
[00:56:51 --> 00:56:52] (eggs clatter)
[00:56:52 --> 00:56:54] That was so much fun.
[00:56:54 --> 00:56:57] I loved opening all those surprise Easter eggs with you.
[00:56:57 --> 00:56:58] Which one is your favorite?
[00:56:58 --> 00:57:01] Let's say the Easter message together. Ready?
[00:57:01 --> 00:57:04] Jesus is risen. Alleluia!
