Jesus: A Young Person’s Example - March 15, 2024 DD

Today's reading from Luke chapter 2 teaches us that honoring God also encompasses the obedience we practice in our relationship with our parents because, through the authority God gave them, their words will give us wisdom and maturity, which will later allow us to progress and grow in life.

Luke 2:45-52 NLT
When they couldn't find him, they went back to Jerusalem to search for him there. Three days later they finally discovered him in the Temple, sitting among the religious teachers, listening to them and asking questions. All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. His parents didn't know what to think. "Son," his mother said to him, "why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been frantic, searching for you everywhere." "But why did you need to search?" he asked. "Didn't you know that I must be in my Father's house?" But they didn't understand what he meant. Then he returned to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. And his mother stored all these things in her heart. Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.
