Why look where He is not?
During a crowded holiday, the family of Jesus Christ loaded up the donkey and went to the city. While there, they lost track of Jesus when they realized he was not in the caravan. They turned around and searched for two days only to find him in the synagogue handling his business with lawyers and doctors. My thought is this, Jesus was not born like this. He grew like this. They had to know that they had a spiritually deep son and the synagogue would have been the first place I looked. How often do we look for God in places that he is not in. Some look for Jesus in the bottom of a bottom or in a dope den or in a house of irrepute. Why do we forsake going to church. Jesus loved it so much, he spent two days there. Has it become fashionable to seek God in movies, songs, poems and raps, but not in church. I grew up in a society that had a church as the center of it. It was the meeting place, the wedding spot, the bingo spot, the calendar tea spot and every other spot in between. I spent more time in church than I did anywhere else and I did not die. I think I did alright. If you are looking for Jesus, try church.
