Luke 2:48 “So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.”
Everything we see in this verse points to the fact that this was not usual for Jesus. He did not have a habit of wandering off. More than that, His parents were very surprised to find Him doing what He was doing. Evidently, He had not made it His pastime to quiz others upon doctrinal subjects. Joseph and Mary looked for quite a while before finding Him.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Son! We try to understand, but You have given us the truth we need. We can know You and understand You just as much as You want us to. Thank You for giving us You Word. May we never forget this is Your world, not ours. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
