12-year-old Jesus and his parents go to Jerusalem for Passover only for Jesus to stay behind for three days listening and asking questions of the Rabbis of the temple. 

In this week's conversation, Dr. Steven Paulson teaches Adam, Kiri and I what's the law and what's the gospel in this week's lectionary text. Specifically, he explains Jesus' relationship to the law and how that impacts his favor with God. 

Questions Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:

• What's the significance of Jesus being 12?
• How did Mary and Joseph lose Jesus for several days?
• Why was Jesus in the Temple?
