Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?” 50 And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them. 51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.Luke 2:46-51 (ESV)1. The most important boundary is to put God first.On the third day, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”John 2:1-5 (ESV) 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.John 2:9-11 (ESV)2. Show compassion and grace with boundaries in order to point people to Jesus.25 but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.John 19:25-27 (ESV)3.
