Is Jesus growing as a child mentally troubling for you as it is for me?\u00a0 Jesus is God from eternity past and even though He is 100% human He is still 100% God.\u00a0 Even at 12 Jesus knew God was His real Father, and that Jesus desired to spend time in His Father\u2019s house.\u00a0 Jesus was all God and was able to teach in the Temple of God, amazing everyone with His answers.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
We also need to consider the way Jesus grew and help our children to grow in all four of these aspects.\u00a0 First, He grew in wisdom or intellectually.\u00a0 Second, He grew in stature or physically.\u00a0 Third, He grew in favor with God or spiritually.\u00a0 Fourthly, He grew in favor with man or socially.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be developed in just one way, but if you are striving to over develop in any area make it in your spiritual walk.\u00a0 1 Timothy 4:8:\u00a0For 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":1167,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","filesize_raw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bible-reading"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1167"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1269"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1269\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1270,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1269\/revisions\/1270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mbcnewhaven.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
