Jesus was actively engaged in Temple life. He asked questions, challenging ideas, and listened to the rabbis.
He wanted to learn and grow.
Faith is about questions and doubts. It is about listening to those who have studied and experienced beyond our circle.
Even in his tweens, Jesus understood this.
Open your hearts and minds to God. Accept that our growth and learning require discomfort. Be willing to let go of and add-on to the way you thought it was.
God beckons us along a new path. Let us grow and follow, follow, and grow. Amen.
