P. 36
With sorrowful hearts they hastened back to
Jerusalem; but it was not till the third day
that they found Him.
Great was their joy at seeing Him again, yet
Mary thought that He was to blame for
leaving them. She said:
“Son, why hast Thou thus dealt with us?
Behold, Thy father and I have sought Thee
sorrowing.”
“How is it that ye sought Me?” Jesus
answered. “Wist ye not that I must be about
My Father's business?” Luke 2:48, 49.
As He spoke these words, Jesus pointed
upward. On His face was a light at which they
wondered. Jesus knew that He was the Son of
God, and He had been doing the work for
which His Father had sent Him into the
world.
