Going Without Jesus
...they were unaware of it.
Luke 2:43
Mary and Joseph traveled to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
Jesus was 12 years old. They were evidently very distracted by the
excitement and business of the Feast. In fact, Mary and Joseph began
their return trip to Nazareth only to realize well into the trip that
Jesus was not with them. It would be three days before they would be
reunited with their 12-year-old son. It caused quite a scare in Mary and
Joseph, and they reprimanded Jesus for "wandering" off.
As a parent, I find this story truly amazing. How can parents of the Son
of God not know their son is not in their presence? Yet this story
illustrates how each of us can become so busy that we continue to
operate not realizing that Jesus is no longer with us. Obviously, there
was very little fellowship taking place between Jesus and His parents
during the trip.
Are you experiencing daily, even moment-by-moment, fellowship with
Jesus? If not, you will wake up one day and realize Jesus is not with
you in your endeavors. It may, like Mary and Joseph, create a certain
fear in you that you may have lost a very important relationship. Doing
business without Jesus' presence leaves us powerless and prone to live
in fear. Jesus said He would never leave or forsake His children.
However, we can walk away from His fellowship by refusing to be with
Him. Do not let this happen to you. He longs to have daily fellowship
with you because He loves you.
