God's Business Plan

Luke 2:48 So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.”
49 And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” 50 But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.


Jesus was a young lad and yet He knew He MUST be about His Father's business. What is this business? What was Jesus doing? What was He surprised they would not know He would be doing?

In the verses before these verses we get to see what Jesus was doing. What He understood as the Father's business.

Luke 2:46 Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.

He was instructing people in the ways of the Father. Church, this is the Father's business. We are to continuously introduce people to a clear understanding of the ways of the Father. Jesus was so clear on the ways of the Father that He called Himself the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is the Father's business. If we miss Jesus we miss the Father's business on this planet.

Let's get about the Father's business by telling others about His Way.
