Today’s Reading - Luke 2:41-52

Thought:

From the early age of 12 years old, Jesus demonstrated a remarkable understanding of the importance of doing the will of God. Throughout His life, He never wavered from that same determination — to do God’s will and fulfill His purpose. As in every aspect of His life, Jesus is, here, a wonderful and perfect example for us! Certainly, we understand that, as the Son of God, Jesus had a very special relationship with God and a unique purpose on this earth. Nevertheless, His example is powerful and we should learn from Him that our primary and greatest purpose and motivation in life should be “to be about our Father’s business.”

What are some things that your family can do to be about the Father’s business?
