You're assuming that when a child buggers around, and worries their parents that that isn't EXACTLY what they are supposed to be doing. My daughter and my son ARE perfect. Sometimes perfect pains in my ****, but perfect just the same ;-)
Jesus was just being a kid, don't be too hard on him. The fact is that the ignoramus's that have answered you by saying Jesus isn't God and blah blah blah more of their annoying athiest rhetoric... are half right. Jesus was a human, he had to be for his sacrifice to mean anything, so you can bet as a child he probably got under his moms skin a few times :-)

Jesus Christ was to perfect, Joseph and Mary still hadn't understood that Jesus is Gods Son, and Jesus was doing His Fathers Work, that is what The Lord was called to do, Jesus came in the flesh for this purrpose, Jesus went to the cross without a spot, Jesus was not an ordinary human as us, sometimes do we put others agendas before Gods,
God explains to us, while we are to respect authority, Gods will always comes first, Gods law comes first,
Even if an authority figure tells us something, and God has another plan for us, we must follow Gods will, Gods law, the world is not above God in no means.

What mischief was that? Let's say that I was a kid in a large group at a big church away from home. Let's say my mom and dad thought I was with the other kids and they accidentaly left me at the church and started for home with the rest of the group. If instead of crying and making a big deal about it, I decided I was going to talk to the preacher and learn as much as I could about God and ask questions about the Bible, does that mean I'm getting myself into mischief? I don't think so.

Mischief? No, no, sweetheart. Waiting behind in the temple, learning and teaching the law is not mischief. Notice Mary said that they sought Jesus sorrowing. Jesus' parents were wrong for looking elsewhere for they knew their son Jesus was the Son of God, as the angel proclaimed unto them as He was in the womb, and He was all "about His Father's business." And if anything, Jesus was "subject unto" His parents and Mary "kept all of [His] sayings in her heart." Tell me, if it was mischief as you say, why then does Mary hear out Jesus and "keep" His sayings in her heart? Truly, Jesus was perfect even as a child. If not, then His blood does not take away the sins of the world.

this Verse comes from 1st peter
20 For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for [fn6] us, leaving [fn7] us an example, that you should follow His steps:
22 "Who committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth"; [fn8]
23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and [fn9] Overseer of your souls.
Now let me ask you this if Jesus sined why did he die for the sin's of the world? and if Jesus is God then how can he sin when God is Holy? it makes no sense. Luke 2:43
When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother[fn11] did not know it; The parents of Jesus never noticed that he was missing now is that a sin for Jesus? no it is not his parents simply made a mistake what you wrote is not valid and top that off Jesus is God who else can die and raise on the third day? and if he never did but the followers of Jesus moved his body how did they get the stoned rolled away think about this

That wasn't mischief it was neglect of Mary and Joseph to make sure their child was still with them when they left! Jesus on the other hand went to the best place He knew of, His fathers house of prayer. He was quite wise in that, and when mom and dad finally came to get Him? He didn't even say an unkind word to them, or accuse them of not loving Him, or make a scene about their humanity, or ......well you get the picture. Jesus is God. He is perfect. He is God personified so that little indiscretion of His secular parents was not the fault of God personified. He is after all perfect.

Luk 2:48 And seeing Him, they were astounded. And His mother said to Him, Child, why did You do so to us? Behold, Your father and I were looking for You, greatly distressed.
Luk 2:49 And He said to them, Why did you look for me? Did you not know that I must be busy in the affairs of My Father?
Luk 2:50 And they did not understand the word which He spoke to them.
Would you classify being about the business of His Father as "mischief"? Why do you work so hard to try to diminish Christ?

When people talk of Jesus being perfect, they meant without sin. Mischief by an innocent child is not sin. I hope you are not saying it is?

He didnt get into mischief. He just didnt tell his earthly parents that he was staying behind to teach his Fathers will. Jesus IS perfect
