Apr 24, 2019 · The Childhood of Jesus. While the authentic details of Jesus's childhood are sparse, we can learn a great deal from the country and area of His youth: Israel and Galilee.

- Why Did Luke Record The Story of Jesus as A Boy in The Temple?
The environment in which Jesus grew up was complicated by religious and political forces at work in Judea and the surrounding territories. Many acknowledge Jesus’ birthplace was Bethlehem (Luke 2:4-7), a city long associated with the family of David. Jesus would not stay long in His ancestral city. Shortly after His birth, Joseph and Mary brought J...
Jesus grew up in a bustling, growing family. Matthew makes clear that Joseph and Mary did not have children before Jesus’ birth (Matthew 1:24-25). However, the Bible tells us Jesus had several younger half-siblings, children of Joseph and Mary. Matthew names four brothers—James, Joses, Simon and Judas (Matthew 13:55). There were also at least two s...
Mark records that Jesus Himself was referred to as “the carpenter” (Mark 6:3). During His life, it was customary for boys to be apprenticed in the occupation of their father. Thus, as the oldest son in the household, it seems probable that Jesus would have been trained and employed as a carpenter. While the biblical narrative does not expound on th...
In addition to telling us of Jesus’ numerous siblings and Joseph’s occupation, the Bible also shows that Jesus was reared in a devoutly religious home. His family faithfully followed God’s instructions concerning the annual religious festivals. Interestingly, social scientists today have confirmed the benefits for children growing up in a religious...
Jesus experienced a natural maturing process similar to any growing boy, but He was especially endowed with God’s Spirit and favor from birth so that He was far advanced beyond other young men when it came to grasping the Word of God and spiritual principles. Interestingly, Luke’s account of Jesus’ life tells of something that took place when Jesus...
It appears it was on the third day after the festival that they found Him in the temple area. He was not playing with other boys, lost or even scared to be on His own. He was instead involved in serious discussions with some of the learned teachers of the law in Jerusalem, “both listening to them and asking them questions” (Luke 2:46). Rather than ...
Jesus responded to His mother’s inquiry by saying, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” (verse 49). Jesus did not give prior warning that He intended to remain in Jerusalem. Perhaps He hoped that Joseph and Mary would conclude that He had important work to accomplish and that they would not worry when H...
Jesus must have had some very profound conversations with His parents growing up. His mother would have related the story of His birthand what Gabriel said when he appeared to her nine months prior to His birth. Jesus also had His Father’s Spirit without measure (John 3:34). He had a strong grasp of His own purpose for being on the earth. The zeal ...
There is a reason God inspired Luke to record this amazing account in Jesus’ childhood. We see from this circumstance that this extraordinary family went through life experiences as any normal family does, with real feelings, emotions, cares and sometimes confusion felt by family members, including Jesus’ brothers and sisters (see John 7:3-4). All ...
