GOD in the CLASS

Luke 2:47 & 48
"47 And all that heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.
48 And when they saw Him, they were amazed: and His mother said unto Him, Son, why hast Thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought Thee sorrowing."

They FOUND Jesus!!!
He was in the LAST place they looked!
He was in the Temple! Sitting at the feet of the teacher of the day. Only it must have been the teacher getting the lesson, today's verses; "And all that heard Him were ASTONISHED at His understanding and answers." This is The Son of God, One of The Holy Trinity in the Temple classroom discussing the day's lesson. Just think of the surprise of all those present as they figure it out over the next few years as Jesus ministry becomes public and He eventually will go on to return from the grave!!!

But, today His Mother has found Him. She has been searching for THREE days! Looking EVERYWHERE for the young Jesus. Going through the emotional anguish of having a missing a child. The high anxiety as they speculate about what MIGHT HAVE happened. AND! This went on for THREE DAYS! Worry and sleepless nights. It had to be a terrible experience for Mary and Joseph. NOW, they know Jesus was safe and sound the whole time! "And when they saw Him, they were AMAZED: and His mother said unto Him, Son, why hast Thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought Thee SORROWING."
NOT COOL.
(But then, they KNEW who Jesus really was and they should have know He would be okay.)

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

Acts 2:7&8 "7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" The Holy Ghost is the only way this happens. They were very surprised to be hundreds and, some cases, thousands of miles from "home" and hearing their language spoken! It was astonishing! Appreciate that these devout Jewish people whose families had been carried away from Israel generations before. Taken in captivity by armies that invaded and conquered Israel. (A little like Joseph was taken captive to Egypt. All by God's plan to save the Israelites during a time of famine.) Over the years, these Jewish "captives" would adopt the language and some of the customs of their captors. However, they remained Jewish. By the time of the events recorded in the book of Acts, they made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Passover and the Feast of Weeks. They just happe...
