Jesus Grew to Fulfill His Identity

December 31, 2023 • Andrew Cullen • Luke 2:39–52

We do not know much about the upbringing of Jesus. We know he is visited by magi sometime after his birth. We know that he lived in Egypt with Joseph and Mary for a little while. We know that he spent most of his early years in the small town of Nazareth in Galilee. And we know that Jesus traveled to Jerusalem with his parents for the major Jewish festivals, and once he was left behind in the Temple when he was twelve-years-old. What we do know is that Jesus grew during these transitional years. Jesus grew mentally (wisdom), physically (strong & stature), spiritually (favor with God), and relationally (favor with man).
