Are You Still Learning and Listening to God?


Listen Later

This lesson from Luke 2 is an interesting moment. We see Jesus being an astonishing and talented student while still in his youth. Achieving this type of educational intrigue at the age of 12 is amazing but not the goal I'm asking you to seek for yourself or your children. Instead, take an honest look and assessment as to how earnestly you're seeking wisdom and insight into your faith. Be humble and seek God. I'm praying for you. 

Luke 2:42-49 ESV

42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. 43 And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 44 but supposing him to be in the group they went a day's journey, but then they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances, 45 and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” 49 And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?”

Following Jesus and enjoying life are not opposite ends of the spectrum. Let's connect to find out more about how that can look in your own life.
