About this Episode
In today’s episode, Stephen Davey takes us into one of the most striking moments of Jesus' childhood. Have you ever wondered what it was like for Jesus as a young boy? Luke gives us an extraordinary glimpse when Jesus, at just twelve years old, goes missing during a trip to Jerusalem for the Feast of Passover. Mary and Joseph frantically search for Him, only to find Him in the temple—deep in conversation with the religious scholars, astonishing them with His understanding and insight.
This episode unpacks the profound significance of this event, including the very first words we hear from Jesus in the Bible. It’s a moment that highlights His growing understanding of His divine identity and mission. We explore the cultural context, the expectations of a twelve-year-old Jewish boy, and the dawning realization for Jesus that God was His Father in a way unlike anyone else.
How did Jesus handle this knowledge? How did Mary and Joseph react to His declaration that He needed to be in His "Father’s house"? This story challenges us to consider our own understanding of obedience, devotion, and what it means to follow God's will—even when it leads to unexpected places. Tune in for this powerful insight into the early life of our Savior.
