In a popular movie, “Home Alone”, the parents forget their child at home and went on a holiday. After a while, they realised that their son was missing!
Like wise, In Luke 2 we read about the distressed parents who left their 12 year old son in Jerusalem and left for their home in Nazareth. They searched for their son and on the 3rd day, they found him in the Jerusalem Temple. His troubled and tormented mother asked him, “Son, why have you done this to us? Look, your father and I have sought you anxiously.” (v48). The boy gave an astonishing answer: How is it that you had to look for me? Didn’t you know that it is necessary for me to be in My Father's house and occupied about My Father's business? (v49).
Certainly staying in our Fathers House and doing his business is superior to things of this world. Let’s learn this simple principle from this 12 year boy named ‘Jesus’!
“For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness” (Ps.84:10).
