Luke 2:41-52

Listen to Luke 2:41-52
41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast;
43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not;
44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance:
45 and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him.
46 And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
47 and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.
49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father's house?
50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all [these] sayings in her heart.
52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

Priorities in TensionBreak out your priority list for just a second.  Who is at the top?  Spouse?  Kids? Career?  All of them legitimate contenders for our attention.  But should any one of these candidates become the primary focus of our lives, well, everything gets out of order!  We previously began looking at what a certain junior higher said should be the very center of our lives.  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez picks up where we left off in the message, Learning From the Perfect 12-Year-Old

Priorities in Tension Parents are supposed to train and instruct their kids.  But what happens when the roles reverse and the child starts teaching mom and dad?  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez looks at a defining moment in the life of Jesus and His parents.  No doubt, Mary and Joseph were shocked to hear what was coming out of the mouth of their junior-higher!  And there is a lesson for us in there as well.

Priorities in TensionYour junior-higher could likely teach you a lot about the latest technology, trends in today’s fashion, or the latest blockbuster movie.  But not many of us would seek out a pre-teen in order to receive life-changing wisdom!  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez says there is one, special middle-schooler who has a lot to wisdom to share!  While kids His age were still learning from pastors and parents, Jesus was teaching the teachers!
