On Sunday I will be speaking from the story of Jesus at twelve staying behind in Jerusalem to speak with the rabbis at the temple. What I will first point out is that Jesus is the sinless Son of God. If he is not we are all doomed and him with us. However I firmly believe that he is sinless and fully able to save all who will believe and put their trust in him. Having established that, we can look at the events and not fall into the trap of thinking that Jesus is a rebellious teenager, thoughtlessly causing his parents trouble. I believe he was at the centre of God's will in what he was doing and it was his parents who were thoughtlessly blundering in leaving without him and then finding it difficult to determine where he was. Keep in mind that Jesus is perfect and put your trust in him and you will be saved.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
