I must be in my Father’s house- at the age of twelve showing more faith and devotion than most any other will ever have

His parents didn’t understand somehow

He was obedient and continued to increase

Application

Luke’s Origin story of the character of Jesus

many details and a story found nowhere else

The point of the story is that from the beginning, Jesus did not just meet expectations of a teacher and a leader of Jews, he exceeds them

He MUST be in his Father’s house and about his Father’s business!

What MUST you be? this was mandatory for him but how often do we see our faith in the same way?
