Our Sunday School is exploring the life of Jesus this Lent. I'm making small paintings for each story, a project I enjoy even though human figures aren't my strong suit.
In tomorrow's story, the boy Jesus leaves his parents' caravan. They look for him everywhere before they find him happily sitting at the feet of the teachers in the temple, soaking up their wisdom. He knows where he needs to be.
Jesus won't begin his ministry for perhaps another twenty years. But here he is, already seeking out the teachers he needs. He learns the prophecies that he will be called to fulfill, the good news that he will be called to share.
Whose feet would you like to sit at? Who brings you peace and helps you see the right path?
The time we spend learning from our own wise ones is never wasted. We deepen our understanding now, never knowing who God will call us to be someday.
