Every
year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. When he was
twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom. After the
Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed
behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. Thinking he was in their
company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among
their relatives and friends. When they did not find him, they went back to
Jerusalem to look for him.

Vv.41-42,
According to God¡¦s law, every male was required to go to Jerusalem three times
a year for the great festivals (Deuteronomy 16:16). In the spring, the Passover was celebrated,
followed immediately by the week-long Feast of Unleavened Bread. Passover commemorated
the night of the Jews¡¦ escape from Egypt when God had killed the Egyptian first
born but had passed over Israelite homes (see Exodus12:21-36). Passover was the
most important of the three annual festivals.
V.43-45,
At age 12, Jesus was considered almost an adult, and so he didn¡¦t spend a lot
of time with his parents during the feast. Those who attended these feasts
often traveled in caravans for protection from robbers along the Palestine
roads. It was customary for the women and children to travel at the front of
the caravan, with men covering up the rear. For a 12-year-old boy it was conceivable
to be in either group, and both Mary and Joseph assumed Jesus was with the
other one. But when the caravan left Jerusalem, Jesus stayed behind, absorbed
in his discussion with religious leaders.

After three days, they
found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them
and asking them questions.
Everyone
who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. When his parents saw him,
they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated
us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you." "Why
were you searching for me?" Jesus asked. "Didn't you know I had to be
in my Father's house?" But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
¸Ñ¸gCommentary: ¸ô¥[ºÖµLuke 2: 46-50,
Vv. 46-47, ¹L¹O¶V¸`®ÉµS¤Ó¦a¦ì±R°ªªº«ßªk±Ð®v³£·|»E¶°¦b¤@°_¡A¤¬¬Û°Q½×©M±Ð¾É«¤j¯u²z½ÒÃD¡CÀ±ÁɨȪº¨ÓÁ{»¨µLºÃ°Ý·|¬O¤@¼öªùªº°Q½×½ÒÃD¡A¦]¬°¨CÓ¤H³£´Á«ÝµÛÍ¢§Y±N¨ÓÁ{¡CC¿q¼ö§ÕªºÅ¥©M´M®Ú¨s©³¡C±Ð®vÌ·P¨ìÅå³Y¡A¨Ã«D¦]¬°Í¢¤Ó¦~»´¡A¦Ó¬O¦]¬°Í¢·¥¨ã´¼¼z. At the time of the Passover, the greatest rabbis of the land would
assemble to teach and to discuss great truths among themselves. The coming
Messiah with no doubt has been a popular discussion topic, for everyone who was
expecting him soon. Jesus would have been eager to listen and to ask probing
questions. It was not his youth, but the depth of his wisdom, that astounded
these teachers.

Mary had to let go of her
child and let him become a man, God¡¦s Son, the Messiah. Fearful that she hadn¡¦t
been careful enough with this God-given child; it is hard to let go of people
or projects we have nurtured. It is both sweet and painful to see our children
as adults, our students as teachers, our subordinates as managers, our
inspirations as institutions. But when the time comes to step back and let go,
we must do so in spite of the hurt. Then our next generation can exercise their
wings, take flight, and soar to the heights God intended for them.

But even though he knew his real Father, he did not reject his earthly parents.
He went back to Nazareth with them and lived under their authority for another
18 years. God¡¦s people do not despise human relationships or family
responsibilities. If the Son of God obeyed his human parents, how much more
should we honor our family members! Don¡¦t use commitment to God¡¦s work to
justify neglecting your family.

house. They didn¡¦t realize he was making a distinction between his earthly
father and his heavenly Father. Jesus knew that he had a unique relationship
with God. Although Mary and Joseph knew he was God¡¦s Son, they didn¡¦t
understand what his mission would involve. Besides, they had to raise him,
along with his brothers and sisters (Matthew 13:55, 56), as a normal child.
They knew he was unique, but they did not know what was going on in his mind.

And
Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

Jesus obeyed to the
parental authority of Mary and Joseph. They made the trek back from Jerusalem
¡§down to Nazareth.¡¨ He submitted to them for the next 18 years (see Luke 3:23),
with no further mention of difficulties. As the oldest in a large family, he
assisted Joseph in his carpentry work. Joseph may have died during this time,
leaving Jesus to provide for the family. Jesus had a normal childhood and
adolescence. In terms of development, he went through the same progression we
do. He related to other people, and he was loved by God. A full human life is
not unbalanced. It was important to Jesus-and it should be important to all
believers ¡V to develop physical, mental, social, and spiritual.
