Have you ever wondered what God's Son, Jesus, was like at your age when He lived on earth? Did He make the right decisions? The answer is YES! Jesus was the wisest person who ever lived, and this is what a day in His life was like for Him as a teenager.
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 travelling 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 suprised at.. how much he knew and at the answer he gave.
When his parent 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 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 pleased with him and so were the people.
" Wisdom means Jesus had the right answers,
and He choose to follow them"
[Sometimes, people tend to skip that second part!]
Buy not only Jesus have the right answers,
He is willing to share them with you anytime you need them.
Even though we can't see Jesus, He can see and hear us.
Talk to Him just like you would talk to a friend. it's called prayer.
Jesus has promised to give us the answers to specific situations in our lives.
love, jcs :)
