Have you ever noticed, especially on TV sitcoms and soap operas that children will go from toddlers to teenagers in a matter of episodes? I have always thought about this passage in Luke the same way. In verse 52, one sentence is all that we hear about Jesus from his youth until his later public ministry in Luke's gospel. I have often wondered about all that took place in his life during those growing up years, as well as what experiences he had that Mary "treasured in her heart." What happened to Joseph during this time? Did he die, since tradition tells us that he was much older than Mary when they married? Any thoughts?
Remember, you can also engage me in conversation about this text at: paul@matthewsumc.org.
Until tomorrow, peace and blessings.
Pastor Paul
