Very interesting..........today in my Sunday school class our discussion was on Luke 2:41-52. Read it ......then come back to my comments.
Most people's question after reading this passage is "How could they have left Jesus behind and not known He was gone?" A few interesting points here........
Jesus' words in verse 49 are His earliest recorded words.
I read an interesting take on this passage. Rather than the normal question that people ask after reading this.......think about this question?
How many times have WE left Jesus behind for a day, or a week, or a month, or a year? When we finally come back to Him don't we normally ask something like "Where have you been? Why did you leave me?
His response to us is always virtually the same as His response to His mother. "I never left. I have been here all along. It is you who left me."
