July 10th: Luke 2:39-52
Luke 2:39-52
Every parent has had a moment of panic when they couldn't find their child.
Our first Sunday at St. Paul's Woodworth included just such a moment of panic. After the service was over everyone headed across the street to the gym for refreshments. After a little time over in the gym we realized that we couldn't find Timmy (who was 4 years old at the time). We searched the school, gym, church, and grounds. But he was nowhere to be found.
Instead, we finally found him sitting at home (the parsonage was next door) watching television. The service was over, so he had just headed home.
Jesus too had gone home, in a sense, in today's gospel reading. He was in His Father's house. Mary and Joseph, in retrospect, should have expected this; He was (and is) the Son of God after all!
