I think probably, do you not think the part with the Lamb,
and both of them were very soft, and tender towards to the fact...
interestingly enough, "That's the lamb who has done nothing wrong that is dying."
and I think that impact, interestingly enough, had more of an impact there than it did
in the fact that Jesus Christ has died for you.
But I think that's hard to tell whether or not that completely tranfered that truth
that the lamb had done nothing wrong and neither had Jesus had done anything wrong.
I think that when they were really little they always were very affected that Jesus had to die.
Some other videos that we watched over the years, they always struggled with and
were very emotional when it came to the point that Jesus died.
They didn't want to watch it. They hid their face, they went to another room, they,
you know, they always struggled with that bit.
But what "The Lamb" added to that whole thing, you know there was always an emotional component there,
but what the lamb added to that thing was that he had done nothing wrong!
And that was kinda like a really powerful realization that I think
didn't really quite come out in most of the stories that we had kind of heard traditionally.
You know, the other ways that they had gotten the information about Christ
and the cross and the substitution and everything else.
The fact that, you know, "wait a minute" you know they kinda argued with us.
"Wait a minute, he didn't do anything wrong! He just.. why is he why is he being killed?"
The other part was being fair and that God rules, the commandments and
the example of the picture with the traffic lights and the traffic.
You know, I think they learn about the Ten Commandments at Sunday School or from us.
But I don't know if the impact of having no rules in life really hit them,
but that picture with the crossroad and the road, that hit them too.
Let me come back for a second, because I think this was something now that the we think about it,
or the more I think about anyway, was really powerful.
You know, the question they were asking was, "Why is the lamb having to die, because it didn't do anyting?"
But as you go back over again the book, and you use the book as a tool,
obviously what they are being shown, time and time again, with the hand goes on the lamb,
the sin is being transfered to the lamb, because the lamb now has the sin, he has to die.
Because we learned earlier in a very clear but simple way that the punishment for sin is death.
The lamb now has the sin, the lamb has got to die.
So the question is answered, although that kind of got them!
You know, the big thing was "The lamb didn't do anything wrong!"
They went to bed in tears. Thanks a lot, you know. Send our kids to bed in tears with the book.
But, you know, hey, they are not going to forget that!
They are not going to forget that.
