In this gospel, we were told about the story of Joseph and Mary and how they guided Jesus spiritually from a young age.
At the age of twelve, they took Him to Jerusalem for the Passover.
As a result of their guidance, Jesus discovered God’s purpose about him and spent time in the temple learning, teaching, and answering questions.
The message of Bro Elli reminds parents today not to play with the spiritual life of their kids but to take spiritual leadership seriously.
Most parents do not even care whether their children attend church or not, but Jesus’ example shows the importance of early guidance is to our spiritual growth.
His parents taught Him well , so He was already focused on His Father’s work because of this. Guiding your kids toward the Way of God is what true love is all about.
