When Joseph and Mary returned to Jerusalem in search of Jesus, they were astonished to find Him learning in His Father’s house. Like them, we know that parents must train their children in godliness. In this sermon, however, Alistair Begg points out that it is ultimately the Father’s sovereign initiative to conform all His children to the image of His Son. With this truth in mind, Christian parents must seek Christ in humility and trust His plans for their sons and daughters.
