What can we learn about Jesus from one of the few stories Scripture shares about His childhood? As we continue walking through the Gospel of Luke, Pastor Clay Smith is joined by Meredith Stuart to explore Luke 2:41–52, where Mary and Joseph discover that 12-year-old Jesus has stayed behind in Jerusalem. What initially seems like a story about two worried parents actually reveals something much greater about who Jesus is.
Together, Clay and Meredith unpack the historical and cultural context of this passage, the significance of Jesus’ time in the temple, and what His words and actions reveal about His identity. They also explore the mystery of the incarnation, what it means for Jesus to be fully God and fully man, and how we understand His growth in wisdom and stature. Through this conversation, we’re invited to look beyond the familiar details of the story and discover more of the person of Jesus.
