Luke 2:42 “And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.”
Jesus was growing up. Twelve is old enough to begin looking and sounding like a person will all their life. We don’t know exactly why this trip to Jerusalem was different, why Jesus chose to do something differently, but His age may have been a factor.
Heavenly Father, lead us in Your way. Only You have the perfect plan for our lives. We can try to lead ourselves only to end up wasting our time. You are our Guide for everything. We will trust in You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
