The second chapter of Luke tells us all we know about Jesus as a child. After Mary and Joseph take their infant to the temple in Jerusalem for his dedication, we have a brief story about Mary and Joseph taking the boy Jesus to the Passover festival in Jerusalem where he amazes the scribes and religious leaders with his wisdom. Following this is silence. The text shares that “the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.” During the silent years, Jesus grows up. As if in a split second, he jumps from age twelve to age thirty. Those silent years have much to say about how God works. They remind us that God has embraced and made holy every moment of ordinary, everyday life. Behind the silence, God slowly works within the silence. Standing upon the precipice of a new year, this is good news for all! Our message, "The Sounds of Silence," will draw from Luke 2:39-52.
