    Jesus’ reply to his parents reveal to us 3 things: (1)He knows His identity; (1)His heart is with God; (3)He is concerned with His Father’s business. Learn from Him.

    In those days, they travelled in caravans and relatives and whole villages often travel together and keep an eye on each other’s children. That explains why the parents lost Jesus. Joseph might have thought he was with Mary, Mary might have thought he was with one of their relatives. After ...read more

    If God is allowed to lead our families, we all live already in His healing and salvation.

    Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Waiting. It seems that for the past couple of months that’s what we have been talking about. During the month of November we spoke of waiting and watching for the final coming of our Lord. We heard ...read more
