The First Visit Of Jesus To The Temple





(Luke 2:41-52)

When Jesus was twelve years ole, Joseph
And Mary took him to visit the temple in
Jerusalem for the first time. They tok part
In the ceremonies of the great holiday of
The Jewish Passover and after the holiday 
Was over the group from Nazareth started
For home.

As they returned, Mary discovered that
Jesus was not with the group. Worried,
Mary and Joseph returned to Jerusalem and
Found him in the Temple, seated among the
Old priests and teachers.

Jesus took part in their serious discussions
And held them spellbound with his questions
And answers.

Mary rushed to him and said "My child,
Why did you do this to me?…" Jesus re-
Plied, "Did you not know that I would be
In my Father's house?"

Then he obediently started for home with 
His parents.




I am a peaceful warrior


Let us insist on peace today turning our minds away from war. 
There is war in our hearts, minds, body organs and words 
because of the fast pace in which we live. Yet just for today, 
we will lay down our weapons, insisting that peace be the 
light and the way. Let us know today that we are spiritual 
beings. Programmed for peace and love. Let us teach by example.
Demonstrating peace in everything we say and do. Let us know 
that it does not matter what others say or do. We will think 
in peace, speak in peace, knowing in our hearts that like we 
draw like. Let us know we are bound to become that which we 
study, so let us study peace and love and truth. If we commit 
ourselves to just one day of peace it is bound to feel so good,
we will want to do it again.


I ain't gonna study war no more…
