So today At my half day I was Asked this question: How Do you Think Jesus was Treated as a Child? And my mind went blank. cause there isn't a whole lot recorded of Jesus' Young age and the only that could come to mind is well when Jesus taught the teachers in the temple. And my response was simply " I think he was respected because he taught adults...." And then the mystery haunted me for the rest of the day.
So then i came home and looked in the bible because at the time that was the only thing I could think of and so i wanted to search more in the New testament. But it really only says about Jesus teaching teachers. Now lets think about this. Lets go back to when you where 12. Think of your teacher (s) And think about that was you who was teaching them and giving them all the homework.... Wouldn't that be great. :) Well then just imagine never going to school and your teaching that teacher.
Well thats the case of Jesus. But then you think about it and he doesn't need to be taught at all. Why? Well because he is the son of God. He knows everything. Like this weekends gospel Jesus knew about the woman's past with husband and the one shes staying with isn't her husband. Jesus Didn't need no school or homework or anything, all he needed was to be baptized and to start his work.
So back to the question of : How Do you think Jesus was treated as a Child? This question was mostly based on peers of his age. And so now i'm here trying to solve this one of a kind mystery. As i said my response was that he was respected because he taught adults. I thought this because the Adults must have been impressed and astonished. But I wonder if there really was any doubters or people who hated listening to this kid? and kicked him out?
Now lets look as this as a peer prospective. Jesus, being a teacher, and the Son of God. Never says who he is until the Women at the Well in Johns gospel. He Says that " I am He" After the women says that the messiah will come. So then we figure that if Jesus actually tell any of the younger kids his age(12) if he was the son of God. It mysterious, cause you have to think that most people back then did not have the "Religious Job" But the kids were practicing there faith as Jews and Yet Here is the son of God practicing Jewish traditions.And Then the other side would be if he did then he might be able to get them to follow God at a young age and then maybe not end up getting crucified. . So I think it goes
hand and hand.
So now I leave this in your hands.
