Specifically, he explains Jesus&apos; relationship to the law and how that impacts his favor with God. Questions Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:<ul><li>What&apos;s the significance of Jesus being 12?</li><li>How did Mary and Joseph lose Jesus for several days?</li><li>Why was Jesus in the Temple?</li></ul>Interested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?

The World Did Not Know Him | John 1:1-14 with Dr. Chris Croghan

Three millennials sit down with Lutheran theologians to understand how Scripture is working in our lives. God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, sin, faith, forgiveness, Luther, and more are on the table as Mason Van Essen, Kiri Haugen, and Adam Guthmiller discuss each week's upcoming lectionary Bible passage with Luther House of Study's theologians to hear the context in and around Scripture before it's preached in church.
