Luke 2:41-52

When was the last time that you struggled in your relationship with your parents or your children? In today's passage, Mary and Joseph lose Jesus--the Savior of the world, God incarnate--on the way back from a trip to Jerusalem. We see that at the age of 12 Jesus already knew his identity as God's son, and he models for us how to submit to our own parents while also being faithful to the Lord.
