'A Classic Mistake'
Luke 2:39-52
There are many things we would love to know concerning Jesus' childhood. We have a multitude of burning questions! Many, many things would've happened during his earliest years as a boy. Amazingly, the New Testament gives us only one story from that period of Jesus' life. The Holy Spirit shows that all we need to know about Jesus' childhood can be found in one particular event - the week Mary and Joseph lost him....
In this account, we have the first recorded words that Jesus spoke. We see even at the age of 12, Jesus absolutely knows who He is and what He must be about. We watch him physically, mentally, and spiritually grow as the Son of Man. Yet we also see Him as the eternal, only begotten Son of God.
