The Bible gives little indication of Jesus’ early life, but we can learn a lot from other sources of what daily life was like at the time he was a boy. In this session we think about the kind of home, food, clothes and teaching Jesus might have had.

This is an important story about Jesus – the day he stayed in Jerusalem talking to the teachers and asking them questions. A fascinating story of Mary and Joseph searching for him for 3 days and then his response about being in his father’s house. Lots to think about!

Jesus’ baptism marks the start of his public ministry and the public endorsement from God the Father whose voice was heard clearly from Heaven ‘This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy’. We think about forgiveness for us, and what it might have felt like to have seen and heard all that happened on that day.
