Finding Jesus in the Temple

JESUS SAT BY himself often, trying to understand his family, the murder of his uncle, Zachariah, and the murder of his male peers. He was five, he was eight, he was eleven. He had no answer. Sometimes he wished he’d been murdered, too. At those times he was angry with his father for having dreams and for obeying them. Angry that his father’s dreams had twice saved his life.

WHEN HE SPOKE in the Temple, though he was only twelve, he spoke of unhappiness, destiny and the web into which, though we don’t design it, we are born. He spoke with great conviction and little emotion. That he knew about human suffering was clear to those who heard him.
