Is Jesus growing as a child mentally troubling for you as it is for me? Jesus is God from eternity past and even though He is 100% human He is still 100% God. Even at 12 Jesus knew God was His real Father, and that Jesus desired to spend time in His Father’s house. Jesus was all God and was able to teach in the Temple of God, amazing everyone with His answers. It is easier to know the meaning behind what you wrote, and what you lived out. Jesus had done both as the eternal God, He was there, and as part of the Trinity God authored all scripture through the inspiration of the Spirit.
We also need to consider the way Jesus grew and help our children to grow in all four of these aspects. First, He grew in wisdom or intellectually. Second, He grew in stature or physically. Third, He grew in favor with God or spiritually. Fourthly, He grew in favor with man or socially. We all need to develop in all these areas and allow for God to use us as He gifts us in all of these areas. Don’t be developed in just one way, but if you are striving to over develop in any area make it in your spiritual walk. 1 Timothy 4:8: For bodily exercise profits little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
