12 Years old Jesus in Temple - Luke 2:39-52

In what areas shall we grow up, especially for children? Luke tells us - in 3 areas of wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man.


Lessons

  • Live with Purpose:
    • Like Boy Jesus, we should know and live according to our calling.
  • Grow in Wisdom
    • Go to the right environment such as school, temple, learning groups
    • Learn from teachers & others
    • Ask questions
  • Grow in Stature
    • Physical growth
      • Give time for growth
    • Spiritual & Character
      • Putting our learning into actions
      • Character is developed over time with practices
  • Honoring Elders
    • Honoring our parents is based on seniority in a relationship and not on wisdom or wealth or any other factors.
  • The Check - Favor with God & Men
    • Understand that true wisdom leads to respect and favor from both God and people, fostering a well-rounded and respected character.

To understand wisdom better, please see: Wisdom for Living Well - Proverbs 30(3)
