What if you could glimpse into the childhood of Jesus? Imagine Him as a toddler, a boy, and a teenager—growing, learning, and experiencing life just like us, yet without sin. In this week’s sermon, we reflect on the account from Luke 2, where 12-year-old Jesus stays behind in the temple, astonishing the teachers with His wisdom. Through this story, we see the profound mystery of Jesus’ dual nature—fully God and fully man—perfectly obedient from birth, yet relatable in His humanity.

This account isn’t just a glimpse into Jesus’ childhood—it’s a reminder of the perfection He lived for us. From the moment He became flesh, Jesus perfectly fulfilled God’s law, living a life of obedience that we never could. Whether helping in Joseph’s carpentry shop or amazing the teachers at the temple, every moment of His life was part of His saving work. Jesus didn’t just grow up—He grew into the role of our substitute, living and dying to secure our salvation.

This story of young Jesus in the temple challenges us to reflect on our own relationship with God’s Word. If even Jesus prioritized time in Scripture, how much more should we? "Christ for you" is not just a message of salvation—it’s an invitation to respond with gratitude, seeking God through His Word and living it out daily. As we enter the New Year, let this truth inspire you to grow in faith, live in love, and become a person rooted in God’s Word.
