Luke 2:41-52 The Boy Jesus at the Temple
The minute Jesus was born he was fighting, he was born into adversity. When you are pregnant with Jesus, seldom do you find others who have the good motives you have. But to others who are pregnant you see there is a connection. What do people see when they watch you? Becauce there should be a difference.

Luke 2:44 Interesting, we read that it took A DAY before Joseph and Mary noticed Jesus was no longer with them. Jesus was lost in the Feast of the Passover-today its the elves, shopping,decortations. 86% of gross national product (money) is found during Christmas season. Now if any body ought to know hwere Jesus is it ought to be his parents-today if any body ought to know where Jesus is, it ought to be the Church! Funny thing is you never understand who you have until it is gone. Those who had him (Joseph/Mary) are now the ones going to find him.

Luke 2:46 Interesting, we read it took THREE DAYS to find Jesus. So if you lose Jesus its going to take 3 times as long to find him as to losing him. You better not lose Jesus. When you ever have spare time, time to think and reflect it would do well for you to think about: 1. Where you came from 2. Where you are now 3. Where you are going. "Thats why I (Pastor Bill) go back to the same street conner where my mother left me every Christmas." Don't forget where you came from, don't forget what God has done,and look to the One whe knows where you are going.

Mary recognized her destiny. When she realized Jesus was gone she knew she ought to get him back. And when she found him again she didn't lose him again, but placed him in her heart. Look through the gospels and you'll find Mary followed Jesus right to the cross. If you lost Jesus, you better find him.
