his mothei and the other mem bers of his family from his enr- penleri shop he would look out upon his world noting the strength nnd weaknesses of human life with all its problems and uorrpw ull its moments o joy and happiness although there is little that is factual in our christian literature about the boyhood and youthful years of jesus there is general agreement that he knew something of a life of meagre circumstances and honest toil and that he was nurtured in the faith of his fore fathers in the words of that key verse of the lesson the child grew and waxed utrong in tpint filled with wisdom and the grace of god was upon him luke 2 40 while jesus in one sense was no ordin ary child we beliec that he exper ienced the ordinary physical and mental development with their accompanying problems- nnd temp tations in his growth from child hood unough youth to manhood the uiblical basis luke 2 jdij 4052 mark oj we learn from these verses that jcdus was one of a fairly largo family

remcmbeied and that the ob servance was moie than litual the stor of the bo jesus in the tem ple is familiar to the most of ui and from it w lcain that hi w i i teachable lad not oni was he in tercstod in listening to the words of the learned men but he aslccd them questions and revealed his knowledge and wisdom in his an swers to their queries it seems that on tins occasion he became more aware of his relationship to his heavenly father that he had been before and revealed tome- thing of that awareness in his question wist ye not that i must be about my fathers business however strong this lev elation might have been it did not cause him to immediotely leave his home and his family he returned to nazareth with his parent and wa subject unto them obeying them and abiding by their parental teachings and controls ai a dutiful child from this temple experience at the age of 12 to the beginning of his ministry are years of obscur ity in the life of jesus luke has described the further development of the boy into manhood in these words and jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favour with god und man here we sec o four fold development mental physical spiritual and
