3. 21 Eight days later, when the baby was circumcised,
he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel even before he was conceived. 22 Then it was time
for their purification offering, as required by the law of Moses after the birth of a child; so his parents took him
to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. 23 The law
of the Lord says, “If a woman’s first child is a boy, he
must be dedicated to the Lord.” 24 So they offered the sacrifice required in the law of the Lord—“either a
pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
--Luke 2:21-24 (NLT)

5. 41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for
the Passover festival. 42 When Jesus was twelve years
old, they attended the festival as usual. 43 After the celebration was over, they started home to Nazareth,
but Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents didn’t miss him at first, 44 because they assumed he was
among the other travelers. But when he didn’t show up
that evening, they started looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they couldn’t find him, they went back to Jerusalem to search for him there.
--Luke (NLT)

7. 46 Three days later they finally discovered him in the Temple, sitting among the religious teachers, listening
to them and asking questions. 47 All who heard him
were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 His parents didn’t know what to think. “Son,” his mother said to him, “why have you done this to us?
Your father and I have been frantic, searching for you everywhere.” (cont’d)
--Luke 2:46-52 (NLT)

8. 49 “But why did you need to search?” he asked.
“Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?” 50 But they didn’t understand what he meant.
51 Then he returned to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. And his mother stored all these
things in her heart. 52 Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.
--Luke 2:46-52 (NLT)

10. leads to a relationship
1. Rabbi Jesus teaches
us that religion
leads to a relationship

12. 1 There was a man named Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader who was a Pharisee. 2 After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus. “Rabbi,” he
said, “we all know God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you.”
--John 3:1-2 (NLT)

14. During Jesus’s time, the term “Rabbi” meant master or teacher.
Originally “Rabbi” literally meant “Great in number” due to the great number of facts a Rabbi knew.
During Jesus’s time, the term “Rabbi” meant master or teacher.

16. 2. Rabbi Jesus teaches us that a relationship leads to a resurrection

18. --Luke 4:16-21 (NLT) 16 When he came to the village of Nazareth, his
boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue
on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures.
17 The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to
him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written: 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon
me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to
the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives
will be released, that the blind will see… (cont’d)
--Luke 4:16-21 (NLT)

19. --Luke 4:16-21 (NLT) …that the oppressed will be set free, 19 and that
the time of the Lord’s favor has come.”
20 He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the
attendant, and sat down. All eyes in the synagogue looked at him intently. 21 Then he began to speak
to them. “The Scripture you’ve just heard has
been fulfilled this very day!”
--Luke 4:16-21 (NLT)

21. --Mark 12:25 (NIV) “When the dead rise, they will neither
marry nor be given in marriage;
they will be like the angels in heaven”
--Mark 12:25 (NIV)

23. --John 5:21 (NIV) “For just as the Father raises the dead
and gives them life, even so the Son gives
life to whom he is pleased to give it.”
--John 5:21 (NIV)

25. “…a time is coming when all who are in their graves
will hear his [Son of Man’s] voice and come out — 
those who have done good will rise to live, and
those who have done evil will rise to be condemned”.
--John 5:28-29 (NIV)

27. “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes
in me will live, even though he dies; and
whoever lives and believes in me will never die”.
--John 11:25-26 (NIV)

29. “…whoever lives and believes
in me will never die”.
