Luke 2:41-52.
Luke 2.41-52
The Boy Jesus in the Temple
Every year Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for Passover. And when
Jesus was twelve years old, they all went there as usual for the
celebration. After Passover his parents left, but they did not know
that Jesus had stayed on in the city. They thought he was traveling
with some other people, and they went a whole day before they started
looking for him. When they could not find him with their relatives
and friends, they went back to Jerusalem and started looking for him
there.
Three days later they found Jesus sitting in the temple, listening to
the teachers and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was
surprised at how much he knew and at the answers he gave.
When his parents found him, they were amazed. His mother said, "Son,
why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been very
worried, and we have been searching for you!"
Jesus answered, "Why did you have to look for me? Didn't you know that
I would be in my Father's house?" But they did not understand what he
meant.
Jesus went back to Nazareth with his parents and obeyed them. His
mother kept on thinking about all that had happened.
Jesus became wise, and he grew strong. God was pleased with him and so
were the people."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
