The Importance of Christ in The Temple

Luke 2:41-51 


Christ, of course, was always in the presence of the Trinity. For a moment, on the Cross, He allowed Himself to suffer the agonies we suffer.

But, from the moment He was Incarnated as Man, He always knew Who He was, and is.

The episode of the Lost Christ in the Temple reminds us that Jesus, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity knew He was God and Man. He is.

The modernists want us to believe in an evolutionary consciousness of Christ. This is erroneous teaching. Christ allowed Himself the limitations of a human is so many ways, but He was always aware of His Godhead.

Do not let false teachers lead you astray on this point. Christ knew Who He was and is. So many false teachers claim He only discovered His Godhead at His Baptism.

God, Three Person in One, was never separated. Christ suffered and died for us knowing fully His mission on earth.

God forgive those who limit Christ.

41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch,
42 And when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast,
43 And having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not.
44 And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day's journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance.
45 And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers.
48 And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father's business?
50 And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them.
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart.
