Jesus at the Temple

” After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it.” Luke 2:43

 

  • After 3 days… they find Jesus in the Temple…

     

    • a) He always stayed close to his parents. 
    • b) He was trusted… but not for THIS amount of days.

Journaling & Reflection

Pray and Apply

Think about the humble conditions in which Jesus was born and the people who were present at His birth. Reflect on both the humility and goodness of God. How has Jesus humbly appeared in your life to rescue and redeem you? How are you an unlikely candidate to experience the glory of God? Praise and worship God for a few minutes, either with your own words or by singing along to a favorite worship song. Thank God for His goodness and humility toward you and what it means to be a recipient of His amazing grace.

Reflect on the example we have in Simeon and Anna. How was their hope rewarded as they waited for the arrival of the Messiah? What can you learn about patience, endurance, faith and hope from their example? Talk to God about how you are currently waiting and allow Him to give you both direction and hope.

Jesus’ passion for God the Father was evident in His interaction with Mary at the temple. His deepest desire was to fulfill the will of the Father and to value what is precious to the heart of God. Twelve-year-old Jesus reminds us that our deepest desires will shape our decisions, our pursuits and our surrounding environments. Reflect for a few minutes on what you are actively pursuing right now and the environments you are drawn to. Do they reveal a deep desire for God the Father and a passion to do His will? Ask the Holy Spirit to purify your desires, and if you need to repent of empty pursuits that are greater than your desire to know God, ask for forgiveness and receive God’s mercy and grace. Ask Jesus to deepen your desire to know God better, to follow Him and to pursue what pleases Him.

LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS 💭

Your Story is important to someone else. The details of your testimony are life to someone else. I couldn’t have spoken into strangers life, if I myself did not go through the battles. I can only speak because I know the pain, the hurt, and confusion. I pray God comforts us, and gives us the grace to tell our story, no matter how small the details are.

 

Let’s not hesitate to share our testimonies and help each other walk through the valleys, and reach our destinations together. With a sense of fulfillment, and helping others get there can be a rewarding and satisfying experience, because when we lift each other up, we don’t just reach our destinations, we thrive in them.
