Week 1

This Week’s Bible Story

Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:41-52) When Jesus was just a boy, he and his family traveled to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover. Shortly after they left to return home, they realized Jesus was missing. Three days later they found him in the temple with the priests, listening to everything they had to say and asking them questions. The Bible says that Jesus continued to grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man.
