Luke 2 : 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.
This is the 12 year old Jesus in the temple with the teachers. I teach 12 year olds too. They are still children, with a childlike understanding. Jesus was clearly not one of them.
How little we know about Jesus as a child! We jump from the infant to the 12 year old. Then we are told that he returned home and was obedient. Next stop: the wedding @ Cana.
I wish I could meet the child Jesus. I love children--all children--but this one would have been something special.
Prayer: I want to know you, Lord, in all your manifestations. I want to stand in the glow of your glory, I want to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. And I especially want to walk and talk with Jesus. Guide my steps in the path which will lead me to eternal life with you.
Amen
Not my greatest effort...2 typos left uncorrected. The sentiment is good though.
