Luke 2:41 “His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.”
Any good Jewish family would do the same. The observance of Passover was a major event in their lives, and they would look forward all year to this opportunity. As we see in the passage, the Jews would go all together as a family down to Jerusalem. So, this was like the yearly family reunion. They would see and spend time with extended family members that they would not necessarily rub shoulders with on a regular basis. It was kind of like a vacation.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the opportunities that You give us. Many of the simple blessings of life we tend to overlook, and forget to thank You for them. But, all of it comes from Your hand. You know our every step, and You supply for every need. I will praise You for Your work in my life. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
