Luke 2:48-51 ~ He went with them

Luke 2:48-51

49 And he said to them, "Why were you looking for me? 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.

Jesus Later Life -

Jesus wanted and planned to live over on the other side of Mt. Tabor - right beside the Sea of Galilee - the life of Jesus shows us. We saw the Valley of Jezreel in yesterday's photo. And we learn of the walk Jesus went on to Nain, so really, Jesus stayed in the neighborhood.

Jesus and His Childhood Years

Mary and Joseph seemed pretty convinced regular life and ordinary life is going on. Jesus tells us Life is a test of our soul's fiber. Their usual life is our regular life and - - - yet - God has a different idea and is pointing us in His Direction.

If we want a small taste of the life of Jesus before His Ministry - we, yes, read the early life of Jesus in the Gospels. And - an important and - you may read Luke 1:44-55 and see many of Mary's lifelong viewpoints. With Scripture being real, honest and true - you will find the family lived together for decades - the viewpoints are so similar in the Books of James and Jude - both follow Luke 1:44-55. Indeed, indeed, indeed Jesus, James and Jude were children of Mary.

Families added on and lived in Family.

 Most homes would have a sheepfold - a place the sheep slept.
