Boy Jesus

Scripture Passage: Luke 2: 41-52

This is a very important reading in the gospel story. A Jewish boy became a man when he was 12 years old. Then he became a " son of the law" and had to do what the law said. So at the age of twelve, Jesus for the first time went to the Passover. No one noticed Him gone, because the women left first and the men later. When Joseph and Mary found Him, He was in the temple, listening to the discussions and searching for knowledge. Yet Jesus' special relationship with God did not disturb His relationship with His earthly parents and other people. He went back home with them.

Questions:
1. When did a Jewish boy become a man?
When He was 12 years old.

3. Who was Jesus' Father?
God.


Memory verse: Luke 2:52
