We continue our year of Bible survey with the life of Jesus. We have already studied His birth at Christmas and His crucifixion and resurrection at Easter, so now we go back and pick up the story.
We have only a single glimpse of Jesus between His birth and the beginning of His ministry at age 30. The Gospel of Luke tells us about one time when Jesus was twelve years old, the age when Jewish boys became bar mizpah (son of the law). That year Jesus and his parents, Mary and Joseph, traveled from Nazareth to Jerusalem to observe the Passover celebration.
After the Passover was over, Mary and Joseph started to walk back to Nazareth with the group they had come with. After a day’s travel, they realize that Jesus wasn’t with them! They hurried back to Jerusalem and, after searching for another whole day, finally found Jesus in the temple discussing with the scribes and priests.
Mary told Jesus that they had been worried about Him, but Jesus was surprised at this and told her “I must be about my Father’s business.” Even at age 12 He understood His special relationship to God and His ministry.
But Jesus obediently returned with Mary and Joseph, and continued to grow as He prepared to begin His ministry.
Join us this Sunday as we take a closer look at this interesting event…and don’t forget to invite a friend!
Tom and Sydney Cook
