A teen Jesus

Ever wonder what Jesus was like as a teenager? Some speculate that He may have walked around turning people into frogs. I DOUBT IT. The first evidence of Him performing miracles was not until the Holy Spirit came upon Him at baptism. But, the Bible does give us an idea of what His teen years were like.

I says that Jesus grew in strength and knowledge.(Luke 2:52) Wow, there is so much we can learn from just those few words. Many teens today have trouble staying connected. They spend a whole lot of time, money, and energy trying to stay trendy, when they really should just be growing in strength and knowledge of God.

We all want to grow closer to God, but we rarely crack open the Good Book during the week. He has provided us a letter so that we can get to know Him better. We pray for His presence and guidance in our lives, but we often forget to read the directions.

Be like Jesus today, and grow in strength and knowledge.....
