Luke 2:39 “So when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.”
Those early years were surely special. The other children of Joseph and Mary had not yet been born and they spent much of their time with Jesus. Nazareth has continued in importance even until today, though in their time, it was not as popular. The northern region of Israel was seen as almost a tack-on, and was not well favored. But, Joseph and Mary loved it well, and it was home for them, and for Jesus.
Heavenly Father, You are so good to us! You know how special home is to us. We love having a familiar place with familiar faces to return to. It gives us warmth and security. You are merciful, loving, and kind. Thank You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
