When Others Know Less than You

Have you ever been in a situation where the person in authority over you knew less than you? It’s frustrating to say the least!

Jesus had a unique experience when he was only twelve. On his family’s annual trip to Jerusalem, he became separated from his parents. After three days, they found him in the temple dialoging with the teachers. When they confronted him, Jesus said, “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” Mary and Joseph didn’t know what to make of it! Jesus realized that he was the Son of God and that he knew more than his parents knew; yet the Bible tells us that he returned home and was obedient to them. And through his experience, Jesus grew.

When you’re being directed by someone who, in your opinion, knows less than you do, remember Jesus. He grew through obedience and we can too.
