(Show the stereogram.) Can anyone tell me what this is a picture of? (Let them respond.) It is a picture of something we all know. And sometimes, with all of the noise we can’t hear what God is saying. Sometimes all of their talking gets really noisy. Take care of each other, and don’t worry about the rest.īut sometimes it is kind of hard to not worry isn’t it? (Let them respond.) Sometimes other people say a lot things that scare us. Jesus said that they should love each other the way God loves them. Just ignore the chatter and listen to what God is saying. He told them to not listen to all of the noise other people will make. He told them to not get distracted, no matter what other people might say. All they needed to worry about was doing what they were supposed to do to follow God. They didn’t need to worry about a building, or enemies. Many people would tell them they needed to watch out for enemies who wanted to hurt them.īut Jesus said that those people were only trying to distract them from what was really important. Many people would tell them that bad things were going to happen, and that they should watch out and be careful. He said that many people would try to predict what was happening. Jesus knew they didn’t understand him, so he told them not to worry about the building, or when it might be destroyed. One of them, speaking for all of them, asked, “How will we know when it is going to happen so we can be ready?”
They started asking him, “When is it going to happen?” And “Who is going to destroy it?” And a lot of other questions. Jesus would be the way for them to be close to God.īut the disciples got really nervous when he said it. One day soon, the people wouldn’t need to come to a building to be close to God. But Jesus was telling them that he was God’s son, and that he was going to be more important than any building, even more important than the big, beautiful temple. They thought Jesus was saying there was going to be some kind of war or something and some enemy army was going to come and destroy the temple. The disciples didn’t understand what Jesus meant. He said that one day soon, every stone of the building would be thrown down, and there would be a new temple that would be greater than the old one. Jesus told them that, yes, the temple was a great building, but one day it would be destroyed. They came from all over the country to see the temple, and to do things like pray and give their offerings to God.Īs Jesus’ disciples were leaving, some of them looked back at the huge building and said how magnificent it was to look at. So, the temple was the most important place in the world for the people. The people believed that if they wanted to talk to God, they had to come to the temple to do that. Real gold! There was a little bitty room inside the temple, called the Holy of Holies, where they believed God actually came from heaven to visit them sometimes. It was a really tall building, made out of bright, white stone, and its edges were all covered with gold. This story is about a day Jesus and his disciples had been visiting the temple in Jerusalem.
Hello, everyone! (Let them respond.) I have another story for you today, okay? (Let them respond.) Great! Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. Sometimes it helps to hold a finger 6 or 7 inches in front of the image and focus on that finger. The key is to let your eyes go out of focus and not try to focus directly on the image itself. NOTE: The stereogram is a 3D image centered in the noise of the rest of the image.
