Reading Assignment
Lesson 10

Q: Why is it important for a woman to make sure her family appreciates the story of Jesus at the Temple?

A: Like Jesus, her family needs to understand that they also must be about their Heavenly Father’s business. Being about their Father’s business is when they obey her (their mom), as a parent.

In our previous lesson, we talked about the birth of Jesus and how He was born in humble circumstances. This lesson continues the story of Jesus at the age of 12. In Luke 2, we learn several things about Jesus and His family, such as the fact that  they celebrated the Feast of the Passover in Jerusalem every year and they went there as a family. They also traveled with a group of relatives and acquaintances, not just by themselves, and they evidently trusted Jesus to stay with their group. His parents loved Him and were concerned for His well-being once they were unable to find Him to the point that they traveled back to Jerusalem and searched for 3 days before they found Him. Jesus understood that He had a responsibility to God, the Father, as well as to His earthly parents. Let’s read the full story.

Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 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, and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him. After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 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.” And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them. And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. 

And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man. (Luke 2:41-52, ESV)

There are three things about this passage of Scripture that I want to point out:

1. Verse 41 tells us that Jesus celebrated the Feast of Passover (and other Jewish holidays as shown in John 7, John 10, and other places). All of the Jewish holidays were used as reminders of something that God had done to rescue the Israelite people. As Christians today, shouldn’t we want to remember what God has done? Even more so, are we not commanded to remember Jesus and what He did for us? (1 Corinthians 11:23-30)
   
   How many times have you seen someone refuse to take communion because they were in the wrong frame of mind or had sin in their lives that needed to be taken care of first? Personally, I have only seen it a couple of times. Do we justify ourselves for taking it under these conditions because we do not want others to know that something is wrong and, in the process, condemn our own relationship with God? Jesus even gave us an example in the Sermon on the Mount about this same type of situation:
   
   So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. (Matthew 5:23-24, ESV)
   
   Of course, this is not specifically talking about communion, but the same concept is here.  First, take care of the things that are keeping you separated from truly worshipping God and remembering Jesus (examine yourself – 1 Corinthians 11:28), then commune with the Godhead.
   
   
2. Jesus realized that He was to be about His Father’s business or in His Father’s house (vs. 49). Being that He was 12 years old at this time, He had come to the age where the Jewish custom was (and still is) to give their sons a rite of passage. He would be trained to take on His earthly father’s trade and other responsibilities of an adult. Jesus took this responsibility seriously and, therefore, used the opportunity of being in Jerusalem at the temple to ask questions and learn more about the Law. He recognized this as the moment that He needed to start gaining wisdom. Jesus, being the snake crusher that was prophesied at the time of creation, had to have wisdom and an understanding of the Law in order to obey it and become the perfect Lamb of God. 
   
   
3. Jesus was submissive to His earthly parents even though God, the Father, was the ultimate Authority in His life (vs. 51). Jesus understood that, in order to become wise, He must learn from His earthly parents and submit to their authority. Because He was willing to obey them, He was submitting to and obeying God, the Father. One of the promises God has made to children is that, if they obey and honor their parents, they will live long on the earth. To the Israelites (in the Old Testament) He said,  “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.” (Exodus 20:12, ESV and Deuteronomy 5:16)
   
   Jesus was obeying this command that was passed down from God, the Father. In the New Testament, it is repeated for us like this: 
   
   Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” (Ephesians 6:1-3, ESV)
   
   As homemakers, it is important to train your children to obey and help them understand that God not only commanded it, but He gave this commandment along with a  promise. That is actually amazing when you think about it! It was the first commandment with a promise. Of course, it wasn’t just given to children. Even as an adult, you are to honor your parents, and by doing so, you are setting an example for your own children to honor and obey you and your husband. And remember, just as Jesus submitted to His parents and increased in wisdom and stature (or years), your children will be doing the same.
