Deuteronomy 13:1-14:21; Song of Solomon 3:6-5:1; Luke 10:1-24
And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” Luke 2:49 NKJV
Our Lord’s first recorded words are two questions. At 12 years old He respectfully asked them to Joseph and His mother after they found Him in the temple. Inherent in these questions was a proclamation that He was God’s Son and that He had come into the world to do His Heavenly Father’s will. This led to the cross where His last words announced His finished work, committing His Spirit into His Father’s care until His glorious resurrection.
Worship Him for His completed work today! —George Ferrier
As Lamb of God, Thy path we view,
Thy Father’s will, Thy whole delight;
To Calvary we trace Thy way,
Each step of Thine, with glory bright. —Inglis Fleming
