Summary

"They had to put family second in order to put Jesus first. And here we see that even Jesus had to do this. He had to put His parents second so that He could put His Heavenly Father First." Stating that family comes first—that nothing comes before family, that family means everything—sounds good, right? It sounds noble and virtuous. But that's not quite right. Family is pretty important, but it's not the MOST important thing. https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) explains why as he reads through https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+2%3A41-52&version=NIV (Luke 2.41-52) to continue on series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/how-to-follow-jesus/ (Learning to Follow Jesus). In this episode, we talk about parenting.

0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.5	I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon. Right now we're
0:14.7	learning what it looks like to follow Jesus by working our way through the
0:18.4	Gospel of Luke. Some of my favorite stories defy expectations and they leave me with more questions than answers.
0:27.0	Maybe that says more about me than the story itself, but here's the good news for me, there are stories like that in the Bible, and one of them comes in Luke
0:34.8	2 41 to 52. Let me read it to you. Every year, Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for the
0:42.2	festival of Passover.
0:44.3	When he was 12 years old, they went up to the festival according to the custom.
0:48.4	After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home,
0:52.2	the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it.
0:56.5	Thinking he was in their company, they traveled for a day. Then they began looking for him among the relatives and

1:13.0	Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.

1:28.2	Why were you searching for me?
1:29.8	He asked.
1:30.8	Didn't you know that I had to be in my father's house? But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
1:38.0	Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them.
