When Jesus Christ was 12 years old, He went with Mary and Joseph to Jerusalem.

On the way home, Mary and Joseph realized that Jesus wasn’t with them. They hurried back to Jerusalem to find Him.

Mary and Joseph searched and searched. Finally, they found Jesus in the temple. He was teaching people and answering their questions. Everyone was amazed by how much He knew about the gospel. Jesus was doing Heavenly Father’s work even though He was young.

We can help with Heavenly Father’s work too. We can share the gospel. We can learn about the temple. These things will help us learn and grow like Jesus did.
