Luke 2:51 “Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart.”
Mary was processing all of this. She began to understand what was about to transpire. But, as of yet she still had a ways to go. This part about Jesus being subject to them does not mean He was not obedient before this. This episode was unique for Jesus. But it was necessary, so as to remind His earthly parents of His identity and mission.
Heavenly Father, how can we ever understand everything? We must trust Your constant care and leading. Only You can show us the path for our feet. We need to lean on You constantly. Thank You for Christ! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
