Jesus showed at the age of 12 that He was becoming aware of His identity as the Messiah. He was even able to talk with the teachers in the temple. This event shows His early familiarity with Scripture and that He saw the temple as His "father's house." These Boy Jesus in the Temple activities are about this event.

Free printable Bible lesson about Jesus' childhood and visit to the temple from Luke 2:41-52. Includes worksheets, coloring sheets, crafts, games and more.

Well now, let's get into some ideas for the first lesson on the plan for this year based on Luke 2:41-52. These are the only verses in the Bible that give us a glimpse into Jesus' childhood. One aspect of this account that is crystal clear is Jesus' love for the Word of God at a young age. We also see that Jesus had to learn and grow just like every other human being. Children can identify with the humanity of Jesus, who was a child, like them. Jesus embraced, and loved God's Word as a child, and we want to cultivate the same love in the hearts of the children we teach. Bible Truth: Jesus teaches me to love God's Word. Bible Story: Mary and Joseph found Jesus in the temple talking with the teachers about God's Word. Bible Study: Luke 2:41-52; Psalm 119:9-16 teach I begin teaching a Bible story, holding my Bible open, and telling the children that what we are learning today is in the Bible. I say, "God put this story in the Bible because He wanted us to know about it, and He wants to teach us something." I also have a set of pocket New Testament Bibles that I found at the dollar store years ago, and when I teach the lesson in small groups, I give each child a Bible to hold as I'm teaching. This reinforces the concept that I am teaching God's words and not my words. I am telling them a true story that really happened, not a fantasy or fairy tale. As they hold their Bibles, I also teach them to care for their Bible by not ripping pages, putting it in their mouth, etc. The Bible is a special book. It is God's Word. We love our Bibles. Then I will open whichever Children's Bible I am using for the lesson, and say, "This Bible has pictures in it for you to see. Let's read the story that God wants us to learn today." You will find a list of the Children's Bibles that I currently use and recommend on my resources page if you are looking for one. showUse an assortment of tools, either toys or real tools, to help explain that Jesus learned from His father Joseph how to be a carpenter and build things out of wood. Another visual aid for this lesson is to create a scroll by rolling up a long sheet of paper. If you have time, add dowels to the ends to make it look more authentic. Explain that the Bible Jesus read looked different than our Bible, but it had the same words from God in it. sing Here are some songs to sing that go well with this lesson. Below there are links to both the lyrics and a video in case these are new songs to you. The B-I-B-L-E Read Your Bible and Pray Everyday (see lesson video for tune and actions) God Made Me (In My Bible Book) craft I have three different craft ideas for this lesson to share with you. Two are very simple, requiring minimal materials, and the third involves more materials and preparation, but I think it's really cute! scroll coloring The first idea is to turn a coloring sheet of young Jesus in the temple into a scroll. All you need for this craft is: this coloring page, which I modified (I found the coloring sheet on Pinterest but I was unable to trace it back to it's original source.) two jumbo craft sticks for each child glue crayons yarn or string Trim off the wide margin of the coloring page. Glue one craft stick on the top, the other on the bottom, color, roll, and tie with string or yarn. Very simple, but I promise you the children will love their "scrolls." find jesus in the temple The second idea was inspired by this blog. It requires some pre-cutting prep. You will need: this picture of a temple (print page 1 in black & white, and choose landscape from properties / page setup) this heading this cropped picture of Jesus scissors construction paper glue crayons Cut the doorway of the temple as shown below. For each child, cut the heading into a strip, and cut out the picture of Jesus. In class, help the children glue their temple to a sheet of construction paper, leaving the cut doorway clear of glue. Fold the doors back and glue Jesus inside the temple. Add the heading to the paper, color and wa-la! Children can actively retell the story as they open and close the temple doors. i spy jesus bottle *This craft involves small objects that may be a choking hazard, and a hot glue gun. Be sure that children are monitored at all times. For this craft you will need: an empty, dry, clean water bottle for each child a funnel (A paper made one will work just as well.) enough rice to fill each water bottle about 3/4 full these miniature pictures of Jesus that I cropped and minimized tape a variety of small objects such as foamie shapes, beads, buttons, pom-poms, sequins, jewels, etc. (Use whatever you have on hand and whatever you can find at the dollar store.) a hot glue this label Cut out the picture of Jesus in pairs as demonstrated by the red box. Fold each picture in half and tape it to make it a double-sided picture. Use a funnel to pour the rice into the water bottles. Allow the children to choose objects, and put them into their bottle. Just be sure every child has a picture of Jesus. Use a hot glue gun to glue the cap to the bottle. Tape the label to the bottle. Shake and mix up the contents of the bottle. Can you find Jesus? Comment below to let me know if you use any of these ideas, and how they work out for you! P.S. I believe that at this time in Jesus' life He began to understand who He was, and His purpose. He had to make the conscious decision to submit himself to Joseph and Mary's authority (verse 51). Isn't that an incredible thought?!

Our lesson today is Jesus staying behind in the temple when He was 12. There is a song with a flip chart, and since He was in the temple, I made scrolls for the students. We are studying the life of Jesus. The last couple of weeks we talked about Jesus being born in a stable and the shepherds coming to visit Him. Jesus was about one and a half to two years old when the wise men were able to see Him. The wise men took gifts of gold, frankincense and Myrrh to Jesus. An angel of the Lord went to Joseph in a dream and told him to take Mary and Jesus and escape to Egypt. They left during the night and are told to stay there until the angel contacts Joseph to tell him it is safe to leave. Herod is looking for baby Jesus. Herod is extremely angry because the wise men didn’t come back and tell him where this new King of the Jews could be found, and he sent his soldiers out to kill all the children that were under 2 years old. (Matthew 2:12-23) After Herod and his son died, an angel came to Joseph in a dream. He told Joseph that he should take Mary and Jesus back to Nazareth. Today's scripture is Luke 2:40-52. As Jesus grew up, The Bible tells us He became stronger in spirit and was filled with wisdom. (Luke 2:40) Joseph and Mary went to Jerusalem every year to celebrate the Passover. Remember that the Passover was started when the Israelites put lambs' blood around their doorposts and the Lord Passed Over and the first born would live. God told the people to keep this memorial every year. (Exodus 12:12-14) When Jesus was 12 years old, the family made the yearly trip from Nazareth to Jerusalem. They traveled with a group of people. When Joseph & Mary had completed their worship in the temple, they left Jerusalem, but Jesus had stayed behind. They didn’t know Jesus wasn’t with them! Mary and Joseph started looking for Jesus after a day of traveling. They asked their relatives and friends if they had seen Jesus. (Luke 2:44) When Mary and Joseph didn’t find Jesus, they went back to Jerusalem looking for Him. (Talk about being lost and how it would feel not knowing where their son is.) Finally, after 3 days of searching for Jesus, Mary and Joseph found Jesus in the temple! He was sitting with the teachers. Jesus was asking questions and listening to their answers. They asked Jesus why He had done this! Jesus answered them saying 'Why are you looking for Me? Don't you know that I would be doing My Father's business? (vs. 49) They didn’t really understand that answer and as Jesus grew up, Mary ‘kept it in her heart.’ Jesus grew up and continued in His wisdom. And He found favor in God and men. (Luke 2:52) Jesus stayed in Nazareth until He was about 30. Click here to download the new updated songs. I put these scrolls together before class and used them as discussion starters. After printing on regular paper (so they are easier to roll up), cut off the copyright info and this will leave enough paper to glue the scrolls together. I purchased the craft 3/16" dowel rods that are already cut in 12" lengths and my husband cut them in half for me. I keep different sizes of these in my craft supplies since I use them a lot. (Any size will work, just so they are longer than the paper.) After I had each set of 4 sheets glued together, I added glue on the ends and laid the cut dowel rod on it and let them dry. I will keep them flat, let the kids fill in the blanks, and then roll them up and tie the finished scrolls with ribbon (string will work also). Answers: 1. Old, New 2. God's Creation 3. Moses 4. God, 10 5. Old Laws 6. New Laws 7. Jesus 8. Different answers. You can print them here. I have added this single page scroll because I have a much larger class and wanted something easier and less paper to print. It is the same basic scroll as the above but is black & white only. I printed it onto color paper. After we answer the questions, the students will roll it up and tie a ribbon around it. Click here to print this single scroll.

The story of young Jesus teaching in the temple is special in many ways. It is the only story we have about the Savior beyond His infancy and before His adulthood. It helps us see that even when He was as young as 12, He had an understanding of His life’s mission.

Growing up and doing baptisms for the dead, I never thought much about all of the people dressed in white who gave me directions and performed the ordinances in the temple. But these faithful members actually come in a variety of ages and volunteer their time and resources in a miraculous way. Serving in the temple has been a valuable blessing in my life that I didn’t know was a possibility for me to do at this stage of my life. However, I have served as an ordinance worker for over a year and a half now and have seen the blessings in my life as a result of it. Because of this calling, I am frequently asked about what it's like and what I do during my six-hour shift. Here are a few insights and answers to some of the most common questions I've found people wonder about working at the temple.
