Lost in Jerusalem

‘Dear God,’ Joshua prayed. ‘What was Jesus like as a boy? Why doesn't the Bible tell us more about his childhood?'

Once again, a simple prayer catapults Joshua back in time to the temple in Jerusalem where he meets Jesus. If anyone could get away with skipping church, surely it would be the Son of God, and yet twelve-year-old Jesus is determined to learn all he can. Not even the grumpy rabbis are enough to turn him away.

Meanwhile, Mary, Joseph, and Hannah are heading back to Nazareth when a surprise discovery makes them turn around. Hannah always thought being the mother of God would be wonderful—who wouldn’t want a perfect child? But when she sees the cost involved, she’s not sure if she would be up for the job.

Broken pots and hidden costs teach a lesson about the sovereignty of the boy saviour, but will the children see him for who he truly is?
