What Was Necessary
Have you ever thought you lost something/someone very precious and wandered around frantically looking for it? What if that someone was 12 year old Jesus? Uh-oh. Even as a boy, Jesus was confusing everyone! He confused the religious experts by his wisdom. He confused his parents who lost him and were searching all over for him. Yet Jesus was where he was meant to be – in His Father’s house. Luke 2:41–52 tells the story of Jesus as a boy, once again visiting the temple with his family. Though he was young, Jesus disappears, and when he is found he is in the temple discussing theology with grown scholars who were amazed at his knowledge.
