But Jesus turned that cultural practice on its head when He went to Jerusalem with His earthy parents to celebrate Passover months before His bar mitzvah.When Mary and Joseph departed from the hustle and bustle of the holy days they didn't recognize Jesus was left behind in Jerusalem. A whole day later they discovered His absence. After a frantic return and search of Jerusalem, they found the pre-teen Jesus speaking to the sages and teachers of the Temple.

Jesus drew this application when He asked, 'If you, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him ' (Matthew 7:11).Our children are often teaching us, and they don't even realize it. And if we are not paying attention, we may miss it too. As we relate to our child in the daily path we call parenthood we learn about our Heavenly Father and how He loves us as His child, with far greater love.…
