After Jesus returned from Jerusa

tinued to increase in wisdom and
statue also in God's favor. How could
such a state of affairs be? Was God
pleased with him all the time? Cer
tainly he was. But we must remember

know.
A Significant Event
In some way Luke had learned
from Jesus mother about tile visit of
Jesus to the temple when he was a
mere lad. Mary and Joseph seemed
to be in complete ignorance of their
oldest son's mission but in light of
events that have transpired we can
understand the doings of Jesus that
was u puzzle to both Mary and
Joeph.
It is an interesting fact to note
that at the age of 12 years Jesus
could discuss religious subjects, in
telligently-, with the learned doctors
of law. His discussions of religious
questions with them was of such
nature as to cause amazement among
them. It was one thing to be able to
ask questions that showed evidence
of thought. It was something far
greater for Jesus to answer their
questions in a way that profoundly
mpressed them with his understand
ing.
We may think that as Jesus grew
up he learned many facts concerning
he Old Testament through ordinary-
processes of learning. Along with all
of this there was a deep intensive
perception of spiritual truths which
did not dest upon endeavors or de
pend upon instructions but which was
given directly from the Father. This
was true during Christ's day. We are
told in the following words, “for I
have not spoken of myself but the
Father which sent me, a emmand-
ment, what I should see, and what
I should speak.” Without such a con
viction or perception Jesus might
have gone wrong in his religious
teachings. It seems to be an undis
puted fact that Jesus, perception of
spiritual things developed along with
his mental powers.
A Significant Utterance
This scene we have been discussing
reaches its climax in what Christ
said to his parents and what they
did not understand, "wist ye not that
I must be about my father's busi
ness ” Mary and Joseph seem to
still be in ignorance of their son's
real mission in the world, but it
would seem that he was aware of his
divine attributes. The beautiful and
sublime part of the recognition of his
heavenly attributes is the fact that
_ ea j | tion after reaching the age of ac
countability was more pleasing to
the Father than the untested inno
cence of a babe. When Jesus was a
boy he learned the carpenter's trade
and for several years helped to sup
port himself and family bv honest
toil. At some time between the age
of 12 and 30 years of Jesus' life
Joseph, his father, died. We have no
record of the time. Jesus did not do
anything supernatural to prevent it
for the reason that he performed no
miracle until after the beginning of
his public ministry. Joseph's death
left Mary with a large family on her
hands. This of course added to the
responsibility of Jesus who was the
oldest son. The income that he re
ceived from the carpenter's trade
came in very handy when it was
sorely needed.
From the folowing words from
John we infer that Mary was accus
tomed to bringing- her problems to
him: “And when they wanted wine
the mother of Jesus saith unto him
they have no wine. Jesus saith unto
her woman, what have I to do with
thee? Mine hour has not yet come.
His mother saith unto the servants
whatsoever he saith unto you do it”.
We infer from this that Jesus’
mother was contented to go by his
decisions. The same confidence holds
good for all things eternal as con
cerns Jesus. There was no doubt in
Mary's mind of Jesus' capability of
handling any question earthly or di
vine. So should we be willing to put
full confidence in the Lamb of God.
If we place our eternal destiny in
his hands and follow his precepts we
will be sure of landing safely on the
shores of eternity where all will be
peace and happiness and be in God's
presence forever and forever.
