In his sermon on Luke 2:39–52, Stephen Davey explains the only biblical account of Jesus’ life between early childhood and adulthood, revealing the moment Jesus consciously recognized His divine identity. Luke records how Jesus grew intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially, demonstrating wisdom and grace long before His public ministry began. At age twelve, Jesus astonished Israel’s teachers in the temple, not as a rebellious child, but as one fully engaged in His Father’s business. His statement, “I must be in My Father’s house,” marks the dawning awareness that He is God the Son, equal with the Father and sent on a divine mission. Davey concludes that Luke presents Jesus not as a myth or moral teacher, but as the unique, eternal Son of God—calling every reader to answer the same question: Who is Jesus to you?
