Where is Jesus? (Luke 2:41-52)

This week Pastor Charlie steps away from our study of Joshua to talk about Christmas.

Where is Jesus? (Luke 2:41-52)
When you look at your Christmas celebrations, there is one important question to ask. In fact, this question should permeate the life of every follower of Jesus.  Where is Jesus?  Pastor Charlie walks us through this passage in Luke and explains how each of us should never lose sight of Jesus, especially at Christmas.

Luke 2:41-52 (ESV)
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. 43 And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 44 but supposing him to be in the group they went a day's journey, but then they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances, 45 and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” 49 And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?” 50 And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them. 51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
