Servants and Minas

WHEN JESUS WAS A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY, HIS PARENTS LOST TRACK OF HIM AT THE PASSOVER FEAST. THEY THOUGHT HE WAS WITH THE REST OF THEIR GROUP, NOW ON THEIR WAY HOME. THEY HAD TRAVELED FOR A FULL DAY BEFORE DISCOVERING THAT HE WAS MISSING. THEY SOUGHT HIM, SORROWING, BUT EVENTUALLY FOUND HIM IN THE TEMPLE; IN THE MIDST OF DOCTORS OF THE LAW WHO WERE UTTERLY AMAZED AT HIS KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORD OF GOD. HIS MOTHER SAID TO HIM, “SON, WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO US? DID YOU NOT KNOW THAT WE WOULD BE SEEKING YOU IN GREAT SORROW?” JESUS REPLIED, “HOW IS IT THAT YOU DID NOT KNOW THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER’S BUSINESS?”
