We are going to be taking a look at the words of Jesus for the next little bit as we travel through the Red Letters of Scripture. Only 1 of the 4 Gospel writers was inspired to share a moment in time of Jesus’ adolescence with us. But that there is such tremendous significance to be found within it. Luke 2:41-50 Here we have a record that gives us a glimpse into the life of Jesus, growing up. Luke 2:41-42 Jesus is recorded as being 12. He is almost a “man” according to Jewish customs. Luke 2:43-45 You see, Jesus is coming into His own, if you will. He stayed behind. And we see that they were “seeking Him.” Luke 2:46-48 They looked everywhere! They sought Him anxiously! Where did they think Jesus would be hanging out? Where did they search first? How often do we have this discussion with Jesus? “why have You done this to me? … I have sought You anxiously.” How often do we blame Him when we are the ones who have wandered off and not made sure He was with us? We were the ones who wandered away and yet we say, “why have You done this to us?” His response is the same for us today as it was for Mary and Joseph. You had to seek me? You should have known where I was. 49 And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” If you have wandered from Jesus you can find Him again, today. If you have been blaming Jesus for things in your life that He really isn’t responsible for, ask Him to forgive you today! Forgiveness is His Father’s business.
