Jesus as a Youth in the Temple
Session 1 Luke 2:41-53 Background Considerations Words Spoken Lesson Dwell & Pray Life Challenge

Luke 2:41-53 41 Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when He became twelve, they went up there according to the custom of the Feast; 43 and as they were returning, after spending the full number of days, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But His parents were unaware of it, 44 but supposed Him to be in the caravan, and went a day’s journey; and they began looking for Him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 When they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem looking for Him. 46 Then, after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers. 48 When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You.” 49 And He said to them, “Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?” 50 But they did not understand the statement which He had made to them. 51 And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

Background Jesus was 12 years old
He stayed in Jerusalem after the Passover We know Jesus spoke with religious leaders. He listened and asked questions He impressed with what He said He answered questions and shared His understanding

Interesting Considerations
Jesus seems not to have meant any rebellion or disrespect by staying in Jerusalem God decided not to share in the Bible what Jesus said to the religious leaders God decided to only tell humanity through the Bible what Jesus said to His mother Jesus shows an understanding of His life’s work in His words to His mother His mother doesn’t understand His reply

Words Spoken When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You.” And He said to them, “Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”

Lesson What does Jesus do and why? What is significant about His age?
How do His actions affect His parents? How does He respond? What does this story have to teach us about growing up and about obeying parents?

How has God gifted you? What are you good at? What hobbies do you enjoy? What is God teaching you? Might God use your uniqueness in your life purpose? What things are you doing to better connect yourself to God that will also help you grow in Him? What are you doing that doesn’t help? Important considerations for our life’s work Do we already know what God’s plan is for our lives? Can timing be important when living out our calling? Should we consider others in our life decisions?

Jesus Tempted in the Desert
Session 2 - Matthew 4:1-11 & Luke 4:1-13 Background –– Lesson –– Life Challenge

Passage Matthew 4:1-11 & Luke 4:1-13
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’” 5 Then the devil took Him into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, ‘He will command His angels concerning You’; and ‘On their hands they will bear You up, So that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’” 7 Jesus said to him, “On the other hand, it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” 8 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; 9 and he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.’” 11 Then the devil left Him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him.

Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).

And Jesus said to him, “Follow Me.” 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” 46 Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” 48 Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathanael answered Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel.” 50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 51 And He said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

Jesus’ First Miracle: Turning Water Into Wine
Session 5 Jesus’ First Miracle: Turning Water Into Wine Background Lesson Life Challenge

Passage John 2:1-11 1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; 2 and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” 6 Now there were six stone waterpots set there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing twenty or thirty gallons each. 7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them up to the brim. 8 And He said to them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it to him. 9 When the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom, 10 and said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.

Where is Jesus? Who is with Him? What is happening? Why was Jesus here? Was He sharing His teaching? What do Mary’s comments to Jesus show us she knew? What did Jesus say? What did He not say? Why did Jesus do what He did? Was He forced? Was Jesus wrong in doing this? (Wedding background) What would you have done if you were the servant? Did the disciples not believe before this time? Why might this be the first miracle the Bible records?

Jesus showed His care for people in His miracles
Lesson What, Why & How? What are miracles? Do you believe in miracles? If Yes… Some say if God exists He keeps Himself hidden. Who and what do miracles reveal? If you could do miracles how would you use them? If No… Do any people truly not believe in miracles? How did Jesus use miracles? (My theory) How should we respond to a God of miracles? Jesus showed His care for people in His miracles

Show care, serve & be a miracle to someone who needs Jesus?
Challenge for Life Study miracles What are they? How do I understand them? Share His miracles How did Jesus use them? What was He communicating? Be a miracles Do I communicate God’s love?

Session 6 Jesus Clears the Temple Background - Lesson - Life Challenge

Passage John 2:12-22 12 After this He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples; and they stayed there a few days. 13 The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15 And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; 16 and to those who were selling the doves He said, “Take these things away; stop making My Father’s house a place of business.” 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house will consume me.” 18 The Jews then said to Him, “What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?” 19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews then said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” 21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body. 22 So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

Describe what had happened in the week prior to this. Where is Jesus, who is with Him and why are they there? What was going on there? What holiday? What actions? How did Jesus respond to what He saw? Why? Was He wrong for what He did? How might the people felt? What do you think they did? How did He feel? Was that wrong? Passionate? Angry? What did He say? Why did He do what He did?

The Temple & The Worship of God

Lesson What, Why & How? What is this lesson about? What is the complicating circumstance? How should we understand these together? Why is this important? How does Jesus show that? Why should we be careful in how we do what we do? Is this a contradiction or exception for Jesus? How can we be more like Jesus in this regard? Jesus fought for the integrity of the Temple and the free worship of His people
