DISCUSSION GUIDE

(Bible)

 Help kids open their Bible to Luke 2 and lead them through the discussion below.

Why did Mary and Joseph travel to Jerusalem each year? (for the Passover, Luke 2:41)

How long did it take Mary and Joseph to find Jesus? (three days, Luke 2:46)

What about Jesus amazed people? (His understanding and His answers, Luke 2:46-47. Help kids understand that Jesus would have seemed like an ordinary 12-year-old just by looking at Him. Remind kids that Jesus is fully God and fully human. Jesus was able to understand and explain God’s Word as One who had studied it for many years, despite His young age.)

How can we live out God’s plans for us? Discuss the idea that God’s plan for all believers is for us to glorify Him by loving others, obeying Him out of love, and sharing the gospel throughout the earth. Remind kids that we can live on mission no matter where we are.

REFLECTION AND PRAYER

Pray as a family and ask the following questions: 

What does this story teach me about God? 

What does this story teach me about myself? 

Who can I tell about this story?
