Bible Question: Where was Jesus during the time of his childhood until he shows back up in the history books and Bible? |
Bible Answer: We do not know. There are many things we do not know. The things we are told about Jesus are so we can believe on him and receive eternal life (John 20:31). There is not enough space in any book, or even in all the books in the world, to tell us everything about him. The important thing is that he came to this earth and did enough to let us know that he is God. Then he died for us and rose again. With that, it seems that God decided it was his ministry, and his death and burial and resurrection we needed to know about, and he gave that to us in some detail. I dare say the secular writers would not have focused on him before he started teaching and doing his miracles, because until then he had not distinguished himself; not in public, anyway. He grew up as a tender plant; as a root out of dry ground. But Scripture does give us a glimpse of him at the age of 12, and he was about his Father’s business. After that he lived with his parents and was subject to them. That’s about all we know of his earthly life until he began to preach at about the age of thirty. We understand that Jesus was here for a special reason, and he is unlike any other historical figure. The same might be said of other men of God, such as Melchizedek, and Moses and Elijah. We do not know much about how they spent their early years. We should have expected the same for our Lord Jesus Christ. We should accept and cherish what we do know. And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins. Isn’t that the most important part? |
