God as an Obedient Son (Sermon from Luke

Sonship is not just a metaphor God uses to reveal himself to us; he actually became a son to
human parents. In his role as Mary and Jospeh’s child, we can see what the faithfulness of God
looks like when it is embodied in a son. This faithfulness and loyalty that not only obeys
parents, but honors them, has no expiration date. Sons and daughters of all ages should be
loyal to their parents the way Jesus was to his. Honoring our parents, regardless of their
shortcomings and imperfections, is an opportunity to demonstrate the faithfulness we see in
God and manifest in the life of Jesus.

PRIMARY TEXT FOR THIS MESSAGE:
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. 43 And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 44 but supposing him to be in the group they went a day's journey, but then they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances, 45 and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, searching for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” 49 And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?” 50 And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them. 51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature[c] and in favor with God and man.
( Luke 2:41-52, ESV)
