Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Luke 2: 41-52

From the Sermon:

Part of the Jewish custom in the region was to travel to ____________, the holy city, at particular times of the year for holy days.

It took _______________ to find Jesus, but when they did, the twelve year old was in the temple, asking the religious leaders questions and listening intently to what he had to say.

Jesus’s answer  to his parents probably gave them little comfort - you should have known that I would be in __________________________.

Jesus is right around the age of _________________.

The religious leaders knew the teachings of the __________, but they didn’t realize that the __________ was right in front of them, because they don’t expect it.

Reflection Questions:

What fears do you have for the children in your life?

How do you feel like Mary and Joseph in this text?

In what ways, can you relate to the religious leaders?

Prayer:

Lord, we confess that while we may have head this text before, we have not always examined the link it has to who you came to be, Jesus. Open up our eyes this day, to see this text in a new light. May it touch our hearts and lead our lives, we pray. Amen.
