- Have you ever wonderedwhat it would be like

to go back in time to knowwhat the stories in the Bible

were really like?

Let's find out.

(loud whooshing)

(upbeat cheerful music)

Hi, I'm Tina.

And welcome to "Ask Gizmo," where we ask

your favorite time travelingrobot from "Superbook"

the questions you've always wanted to ask.

Gizmo!- Ta da!

Hello, everyone.- Hi, Gizmo.

I'm so glad you made it.

- The feeling is mutual, Tina.

So what are we doing today?

- Well, we've beengetting a lot of questions

about you and your travels,

so we thought we'd have you come by

and answer some of those questions.

- Me? Really?

- Plus, with all of theadventures you've been on

with Joy and Chris, you'veseen and learned so much.

I'm sure you've got a lot to share.

- Boy, I sure do.

Go ahead, ask away.

- Gizmo, that's the camera crew.

But we do have--- Hey, guys.

(Tina laughs)

- We do have a bunch of questions

submitted by "Superbook"fans from all over the world,

right on this tablet.

- Tablet?

Did you know, Moses had two tablets,

but they had commandments onthem instead of questions,

and they were way heavierthan that, way heavier.

- I'm sure they were, Gizmo.

So here's how it works.

With your parents' permission,

go to superbook.cbn.com/askgizmo,

follow the instructions,type in your questions,

and Gizmo will answer you.

- Easy as pie.

Though I did watch Joy make pie once,

and it did not appear too easy.

- And don't be afraid to askeven your hardest questions

because Gizmo will answer all of them.

- All of them?

- Every single one.- No problem.

I just received a processor update

that makes me threeand a half times faster

than any other robot on the block.

- That sounds fast.

So while the questions come in,

let's remind them the reasonfor this Christmas season.

- Christmas! Jesus' birthday!

I know Him.

- So do I.(Tina laughs)

And Christmas is not only a time

for the celebration of the birth of Jesus,

it's a time to spend with your family

and even your extended family.

- Ah, family.(Tina laughs)

Sometimes we screen time each other

and talk about the latest apps.

- Oh, and speaking of apps,

check out the "Superbook" Bible app.

It's filled with all sortsof Bible-based information

you and your family will love.

And when we return, we'llask Gizmo your questions.

- [Gizmo] It's the new"Superbook" Bible app.

It's packed with games, activities,

and "Superbook" episodesthat you can watch for free.

Oh, no!(upbeat dance music)

There's trivia, fun daily devotional,

and answers to your Bible questions.

Plus, an easy to understand Bible

the whole family will enjoy.

You can even create yourown "Superbook" character.

(engines blasting)Ta da!

It's the new "Superbook" Bible app.

Free downloads on iTunes,Google Play, and Amazon.

- And you know, with the"Superbook" Bible app,

you'll be able to watchvideos, play games,

and have daily Bible quests

that the whole family will enjoy.

Isn't that great?

- And downloaded and installed.

Oh, yes. I cannot wait to check this out.

- Great! So Gizmo, are youready for your first question?

- Bring it on.

(Tina laughs)(loud whooshing)

- [Tina] This one is from Ben.

"Hey Gizmo, what do youlike to do for fun?"

- I like to spend time with Chris and Joy.

There is also cooking. Iabsolutely love to cook.

You should try my Gizmo-licious,splentastic fruit smoothie.

- Wow, that sounds delicious.

(loud whooshing)

John asks, "Gizmo, do you ever rust?

"You're always so shiny."

(loud whooshing)

- Good question, John.

My parts are specially designed

to withstand all kinds ofelements, so I never rust.

I can, however, get dirty

and must be cleaned on a regular basis.

- I think we all needcleaning on a regular basis.

(loud whooshing)

Luis wants to know, "I gotmad at my little brother

"for breaking my video game.

"Does God still love me?"

(loud whooshing)

- Oh, Jesus will always love you,

even when you do things that are wrong.

He loves you because itis His nature to love.

The Bible says that, "God is love."

Meaning that God has a heart full of love.

If we do something wrong,

it does not break ourrelationship with Jesus,

but we should still ask for forgiveness

so that we can have thepeace of God in our hearts.

- I couldn't have said it better myself.

(loud whooshing)

Here's one from Aubrey.

"My dog died. Will I see him in Heaven?"

- Hi, Aubrey. I am sosorry about your dog.

According to my database,

we do not know for certainthat animals go to Heaven,

but the Bible does talk aboutJesus returning from Heaven

on a white horse.

So perhaps there are animals in Heaven.

(loud whooshing)

- [Tina] Sylvia asks, "Whatis your favorite adventure?"

- Wow, there are so many.

But one of my many timetraveling adventures

was when we went back in timeto when we went back in time.

- Huh? Oh, I rememberwatching that adventure.

I believe it was called,"The Promise of a Child."

- That is correct.

It was actually about God's promise

of several special children.

- Oh, hold on. I've got aclip of that right here.

Let's watch it.

(loud whooshing)(dramatic electronic music)

(Gizmo gasps loudly)

- Guys, it's us.

- Whoa.

- [Joy] Too weird.

- [Superbook] I am showing you a time

when you learned that Abraham and Sarah

had a son in their old age.

Even here, God was advancing His promise.

- Isaac, what is that?

- It is called an abacus.

My father gave it to me as a gift

and told me to try and countall the stars in the sky.

- Cool. A computer beforecomputers were invented.

- Computer?- Ah, nevermind.

- Isaac, why does yourfather want you to know

how many stars are in the sky?

- Because before I was born,

God told him that his children

and their children for generations to come

would one day number morethan all the stars above.

- And that was not the only time

God spoke about you, my son.

For years, Sarah and I waited,

but God's promise that we would have a son

was taking much longer than we expected.

Then one day.

(soft dramatic music)

- My Lord!

- I will return to youaccording to the time of life,

and Sarah, your wife, shall have a son.

Why did Sarah laugh?

Does she doubt that she canhave a child in her old age?

I am the Lord. There isnothing too difficult for me.

I will come back next yearat the time I promised,

and Sarah will already have a son.

- And that is why God named me Isaac.

- For Isaac means laughter.

(loud whooshing)

- How cool was that?

- Yes, not only did Godpromise a child for David,

but for Adam and Eve, and Mary too.

- And Gizmo, to go back in time

to see yourselves back in time, wow.

- It was quite fascinating to see us.

- As a matter of fact,

you can see the full episodeof, "The Promise of a Child"

on the newly released"Superbook Christmas Special."

Just download the "Superbook"Bible app and click videos.

- Christmas!(Tina laughs)

- I have a lot more questionsthat were sent to us, Giz.

But remember, if yourquestion isn't answered here,

you can go to superbook.cbn.com/askgizmo

and ask your questiondirectly to Gizmo now.

I love Christmas!

(loud whooshing)

- [Tina] Here's a question from Alexis.

"Will I be able to visit Quantum Labs?"

(loud whooshing)

- Professor Quantum is really busy

developing new technologies,

and unfortunately does not give tours,

but you can watch us in thelab in a "Superbook" episode.

(loud whooshing)

- [Tina] Here's one from Regina.

"Was Jesus born at midnight

"and can't we open presents then?"

(loud whooshing)

- The birthday of Jesus

is traditionally celebratedon December 25th,

but it could have been on adifferent day of the year.

It is more important thatthe message of Christmas

is the birth of JesusChrist as our Savior,

and that He is the best gift of all.

- He really is.

(loud whooshing)

Ethan asks, "There are alot of people in the world.

"Does God hear all of those prayers?"

- I have learned that Godcan hear you when you pray,

because He knows what people are thinking,

saying, and doing on Earth.

Also, when you pray, itcomes from your heart

and goes to God who is Spirit.

(loud whooshing)

- [Tina] So Carl wants to know,

"Why do you talk about modern things

"when you're in the past?"

(loud whooshing)

- Sometimes going back in timereally confuses my sensors.

I mean, I cannot even get a 4Gsignal and there is no Wi-Fi.

Boy, do I appreciate

the modern conveniences of communication,

like Chatty Message and Pindergram.

What a great way to sharethe love of Jesus Christ.

- And especially with the"Superbook" Bible app.

It brings the Bible to life

without having to travel back in time.

There's also interactive games,

so if you haven't gotten the app yet,

ask your parents' permission,

then see what you've been missing.

Check it out.

- [Gizmo] It's the new"Superbook" Bible app.

Ah, it's packed with games,

activities, and "Superbook" episodes

that you can watch for free.

Oh, no!(upbeat dance music)

There's trivia, fun daily devotional,

and answers to your Bible questions.

Plus, an easy to understand Bible

the whole family will enjoy.

You can even create yourown "Superbook" character.

(engines blasting)Ta da!

It's the new "Superbook" Bible app.

Free downloads on iTunes,Google Play, and Amazon.

Wait a minute.

Why do I have to go back in time

if I can learn all of thison the "Superbook" Bible app?

- Well, thanks to you,Joy, Chris, and Superbook,

we don't have to go back in time,

but we do get to follow your adventures.

- Hmm.

- And learning the Bibleis way more fun with you.

- Well, when you put it that way.

- So, are you ready for more questions?

- I'm ready.

(loud whooshing)

- [Tina] Michael wants to know,

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

- Oh, I do not have anybrothers or sisters.

I consider Chris and Joymy brother and sister,

and my best friends.

Oh, wait!

I also should include Gears,Rig, Widget, and Miss Tina.

- Aww, thanks, Gizmo.

I consider you to be family too.

(loud whooshing)

Here's one from Tim.

"Gizmo, do you have to take naps?

"My mom makes me take one every day."

(loud whooshing)

- I do not usually take naps,

although some days Iwish I could power down

for a few minutes.

I usually recharge at night.

- Sometimes I'll take a nap tohelp me get through the day.

(loud whooshing)

Layla wants to know,

"If God loves everyone,why do bad things happen?"

- Evil things are not part of God's will.

I understand that sometimesbad things happen to someone

because someone else chooses to sin.

God has given everyone thefreedom to choose what to do,

and He wants everyoneto choose to follow Him

and do good things.

But some people choose tosin against God and others.

- And remember, even ifsomething bad happens to you,

God is still with you.

- He sure is.

(loud whooshing)

- [Tina] Miguel asks,

"Is it okay if I don't pray all the time?"

(loud whooshing)

- I have learned thatprayer is talking with God

and spending time in His presence.

You can praise and worship Him,

tell Him what you would like help with,

and thank Him for the goodthings He has done in your life,

and is going to do.

When you spend time with God,

it is like spending time with a friend.

If you don't spend time with your friend,

your friendship may get weaker.

(loud whooshing)

- [Tina] Dorothy wants to know,

"Gizmo, what was the weatherlike when Jesus was born?"

- Oh, the sky was very clear.

There was a really bright star.

Overall, for that evening,

I would say the weather was perfect,

you could say, "Heavenly."

- That's right.

You, Chris, and Joy werethere for the first Christmas.

- That is correct.

- I've got the clipright here. Let's watch.

(loud whooshing)

(relaxing orchestral music)

(sheep baaing)

(loud whooshing)

(Shepherds murmuring)

- Do not be afraid.

(Shepherds holler)

For behold, I bring goodtidings of great joy,

for there is born to you thisday in the City of David,

a Savior who is Christ the Lord.

And this will be the sign to you.

You will find a babewrapped in swaddling cloths,

lying in a manger.

(loud whooshing)

- [Tina] Kara asks,

"Gizmo, do you play a musical instrument?"

(loud whooshing)

- I can digitally create the sounds

of all kinds of instruments,

but I cannot play a real instrument.

Chris is an excellent guitar player

and I enjoy listening to him play.

Joy sings beautifully too.

(loud whooshing)

- [Tina] And one last one from Josefina.

"Can you please be my bestfriend forever, please?"

(loud whooshing)

- Best friend? I know a BFFwho will never let you down.

Jesus Christ. He is the bestfriend you will ever have.
