Lent 2014 day 1 by ric gustafson


Luke 2:49- ' Didn't you know that it was necessary for me to be in my Father's house'.


What is our purpose on earth?. Jesus at age 12 had a clear understanding of who he was and what he was to do. He knew that his purpose on this earth was to do the will of God his Father.
His poor parents who were worried about him were trying to locate him. When they did find him, Jesus was puzzled at their reaction. He was unique and was sent to do his Father's work. Jesus was totally obedient to his Father's will which went against human standards. Religious leaders plotted against him and he would eventually die on a criminal's cross. By following his Father's will, he brought salvation to the whole human race.
