Mary, Joseph and Jesus were traveling home from Passover when Mary noticed that Jesus wasn't there. He wasn't with His friends. He wasn't with another family. Where was He? Mary and Joseph traveled back to the city to find Him. Mary was so nervous. She was afraid that she had lost the Savior! Finally, she and Joseph found Jesus teaching the priests in the temple about God. The priests were astounded. Who was this young boy who knew more about scripture then they did?
Mary was relieved to have found Him.
"Where were you, Jesus?" asked Joseph.
"We were so worried, Jesus!" Mary announced.
"Don't worry, mother and father!" Jesus said calmly, "didn't you know I'd be in my Father's house?"
Jesus was talking about the temple as His Father's house, and God as His Father.
