Loving and Learning in Lodi September 15 2019
As we ‘hang out’ with Jesus this fall, I’m wondering how he became such an incredible Rabbi/teacher? As a human being, when, where, how did he learn? This week we’ll look at the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke & John) to see what hints we can find that give us some clues.
See You Sunday! Pastor Diane

Each year his
parents went to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival. When he was 12 years old,
they went up to Jerusalem according to their custom. After the festival was
over, they were returning home, but the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.
His parents didn’t know it. Supposing that he was among their band of
travelers, they journeyed on for a full day while looking for him among their
family and friends. When they didn’t find Jesus, they returned to Jerusalem to
look for him. After three days they found him in the temple. He was sitting
among the teachers, listening to them and putting questions to them. Everyone
who heard him was amazed by his understanding and his answers. When his parents
saw him, they were shocked.
His mother said,
“Child, why have you treated us like this? Listen! Your father and I have been
worried. We’ve been looking for you!”
Jesus replied, “Why
were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that it was necessary for me to be in
my Father’s house?” But they didn’t
understand what he said to them.
Jesus went down to
Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. His mother cherished every word in
her heart. Jesus matured in wisdom and years, and in favor with God and with
people.
Leader: The word of God for the people of God. People: Thanks be to God.
