PAGE TWO | SUNDAY SCHOtH. LESSON | THE BOYHOOD OF JESUS i International Sunday School Lesson for October 13, 1940 Golden Text: “And Jesus ad vanced in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men.”—Luke 2:32. Lesson Text: Luke 2:40-52 When the infant Jesus was forty days old, his parents went up to the temple at Jerusalem to redeem him, according to the custom of the Jews. This ceremony was necessary bcause every first-born son was supposed to be set aside for the priesthood. In order to acknowledge this claim of God, where it was not to be literally carried out, parents presented the child to the priest and, after bene dictions for the law of redemption and for the gift of a son, offered redemption money. Living in Jerusalem at this time was a man named Simeon, described as righteous and devout. Simeon was “looking for the consolation of Is rael,” the coming of the promised Messiah, and as soon as he saw the baby Jesus, he recognized, him as the promised one and uttered the hymn known as “Uunc Dimittis.” i Another devout person who' saw and recognized Jesus as the Mes siah was Anna, a prophetess, -who, 1 meeting the holy family in the tem ple, gave thanks and testified con cerning him to all who were looking for the redemption of Israel. After this visit to the temple, we hear nothing of the holy family un-1 till after the twelfth birthday of the boy .Jesus. When a Jewish boy reached the age of twelve, he was taught the observance of the law, for at the age of thirteen, he put on! phylacteries for daily prayers and became a “son of the law.” As Mary and Joseph were very pious Jews, they faithfully carriec out all the laws and ceremonies. Jesus had formerly seen his parents go yearly to Jerusalem to attend the religious feasts, leaving him at home; now he went up with them for the first time. We can easily imagine the eagerness and pleasant anticipa tion which filled the heart of .this young boy as he accompanied his parents and their relatives and friends on their journey. When the ceremonials were over and the parents were returning from Jerusalem, they discovered after a day’s journey from the city, that the bgy Jesus was not in the crowd jour neying home. While some are prone to accuse Mary and Jose h of care lessness in their care of the young boy, such a thing could easily have happened. They naturally assumed that he was accompanying some rela tives or friends, presumably boys of his own age who were making the same journey and that, at dusk, when they were ready to retire for the night, he would find them. They became alarmed when they discovered that he was not in the company and immediately returned to Jerusalem TO RELIEVE A()| ItA MISERY OF UUL LS 5 f* nf® LIQUID Bm.

Edenton, N. C. King Street Phone 145 1 i 111 I i to search for him. . I ! When they found him, he was in 1 the temple, sitting in the midst of the rabbis, listening to, them and, asking them questions, the rabbis I and all those who were listening to the discussions were amazed at the| understanding with which the mind of this young child grasped the truth and replied to the questions address- j l ed to him. ' . . I “St. Luke here suggests that ' Christ’s knowledge was limited by his ! human nature,” says Rev. H. G. • Woods. “He does not represent • Jesus as teaching the rabbis, but as i hearing'them and asking them ques i tions. It is true that they questioned i him in their turn, and were amazed : at his intelligence and answers, but - the account implies that he was i mainly a listener and learner. He ( • was asking for information because i there were things that he did not I know. , . The inquiring mind has a perieci , right to ask questions. God did not place an intelligent mind in the body , of man nor create His universe so that questions could not be asked and I the truth found by honest search. does not require any of us to accept blindly; a sincere, courageous search, for the truth will inevitably lead to 1 it and God is willing for His wisdom, and His providence to be tested fair ly and conscientiously. , In answer to his parents' question, Jesus inquired if they did not know j that he should be in his Father s: house. “There are two things mani-1 fested in the example of Jesus at. this point and that are specially per-, i tinnent to young manhood and young womanhood everywhere,” says Rev. j Thomas Sims. “They are the ans wers to two questions: First, Who am I ? Second, What am I here for ? 1 The answer to the first question is, 1 am a son of God. The answer to the ( second is, I am here to help forward my Father’s business. You will go ; a long way before you strike a phi-, losophy of life and being that is more satisfying than that.” Verse fifty-two reveals an all rounded progressive development by • Jesus. It is a model for all life. This, little verse embraces the increase of, intelligence which should come with j years, the strengthening of the phy- i sical body which comes with propel I care and observance of natural law, the social favor which always sur- , rounds one who is good and kind to ( his neighbors, and, finally, the in creasing closeness with God, the re-; suit of correct living and intimate ' , communion with Him, Jesus’ home training was ideal asj , Dean Edward D. Golburn points out: ■ . “I need not say that what was going . on in that quiet , house at Nazareth , was, beyond all comparison, the most I important thing going on in the world at that time.
