His Father's Business

Rev. Jake Allstaedt

Our Gospel text from Luke 2:40-52 is a confusing one. At first glance, it looks like Jesus was a thoughtless adolescent, but that's not the case. Jesus reminds His parents and us that He has come to do His Father's business. God's ways are not our ways. He will not conform to our expectations or submit to our wills. We don't need a more powerful version of ourselves, and God knows that. We need a Savior.
