Gospel Project for Kids This week, we're learning: Matthew 2, Luke 2: Jesus Was a Child Being a day’s distance (about twenty or so miles from Jerusalem), Jesus’ parents had to journey back to Jerusalem in search for Jesus. Eventually, Joseph and Mary found Jesus in the temple with Israel’s teachers. Luke notes that everyone in the presence of Jesus was amazed at His wisdom and understanding as He listened to the teachers and asked questions. Jesus seemed surprised that His parents would be searching for Him. His answer indicates that He thought it would be clear where He was—in His Father’s house—attending to His father’s business. At that point the narrative pictured Mary alone, treasuring and pondering all that happened around and in her (Luke 2:19). The last thing Luke notes in this section is that Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and with people.

This Unit's Summary and Main Ideas Unit 19: Into the World God's plan to save people from sin came into sharper focus as Jesus was born at last. When Jesus grew up, He began His mission to bring people back to God. From the beginning, Jesus proved that He is the Son of God and that all that was written about Him by that prophets was true Session 1 (3/1) - From Adam to Jesus Matthew 1, Luke 3, John 1: Jesus' family line proved He is the Messiah Session 2 (3/8) - John was Born Luke 1: John was born to prepare the way for Jesus Session 3 (3/15) - Jesus was Born Luke 2: Jesus was born to be God's promised Savior Session 4 (3/22) - Jesus was Dedicated Luke 2: Simeon and Anna worshipped Jesus as the Messiah Session 5 (3/29) - Jesus as a Child Matthew 2, Luke 2: Even as a child, Jesus wanted to do His Father's plan After more than four hundred years of silence, God’s people must have doubted that He had remembered them. Promises looked to be broken. His people seemed to be abandoned. Yet all along, God was working. And at the fullness of time, a merciful Father initiated His rescue plan at just the right time, in just the right place, and delivered His people from the bondage of sin and penalty of death.

The guiding of God’s providence, and the prophetic utterance under the power of the Holy Spirit provided a solemn foundation for the events recorded in this text. Jesus was recognized as the Lord’s Messiah from an early age. In light of this truth, Simeon rejoiced in the rest of God’s fulfilled promises. We understand through the entirety of Luke’s account that though Simeon accepted Jesus in his arms with joy, many in Israel would reject him in their hearts (Isa. 8:14-15). In addition, Luke introduces the second witness to these events, a prophetess named Anna, who praised God and began speaking about Christ as the redemption of Jerusalem to all the people around her.
