Where Was Jesus? Word Search

The Bible doesn’t tell us much about Jesus’ childhood. We do know that when Jesus was 12, He and His family went to Jerusalem for the Passover festival. On the way home, Mary and Joseph noticed Jesus was missing from the group of people with whom they were traveling. They immediately returned to the city to look for Him. They found Jesus in the temple complex talking with the teachers there. The teachers were amazed at His understanding and insights. While it surely was stressful for Mary and Joseph to have to search for Jesus, their experience of finding Him in the temple had to leave them awestruck. Even at this young age, Jesus was demonstrating that He was different. This Where Was Jesus Word Search will help kids learn that Jesus was the long-awaited Messiah of the Old Testament!
