READ LUKE 2:41-51

If Jesus were a kid today, what would he be like? Think of all the things you do as a kid—would he do those things, too?

Mary and Joseph didn’t understand what Jesus meant in v. 49: what did he mean?
[He meant that his life had a purpose, and that even at that point, he needed to be preparing himself for the life—and ultimately, the death—he would experience.]

In v. 51, it says Jesus was obedient; why is that important?
[It shows us that Jesus honored God’s commands, including the one to obey your parents, no matter what.]

Jesus asked questions of people older and wiser than himself: do you have any questions for your parents? Ask anything!
