Luke 2:52
New International Version (NIV)
52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
Thought:
So a new perspective was brought to my attention when I was reading a devotional about this text. It pin pointed the fact that as Jesus was left in the temple as a young boy for three days, he studied the word and wisdoms of many temple and synagogue leaders. So, it is not like Jesus was instantly blessed with his understanding of His father's Words. No, no he had to study them too and learn to understand them. In doing so Jesus grew into the person we read about in the New Testament. So, just as Jesus was made in Man/God's image as we were too that makes him as human as we are in our lack of understanding.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this word and teaching us that we too can learn to understand your Word, as you very own Son had to do the same. Amen.
