    Jesus Left Behind At The Temple

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jan 6, 2024
     | 2,349 views

Only Matthew and Luke give us the nativity, and only Luke tells this ONE story that fills the huge gap between the wise men, and Jesus turning 30 and his Baptism in the Jordan River. I think our imaginations always run ...read more
