HI HI! It's Time for the Verse!

Hello! I just wanted to say, er, type that I'm here to help and spread God's word. If you have anything you want to ask, and I mean ANYTHING, just comment or, if it's something you don't want others to know about email me. Of course I'm not asking you to tell me about SUPER personaly things. I just what to help. If you ust need someone to tyep to, I could do that. Just remember that I'm not a faceless girl that is really weird. I'm a person, though I've got to admit that I can be pretty strange, just ask my buddies Monkey (nickname) or AJ (initials). Anyway, enough with random babbling. Today's verse is Luke 2:52. "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." The verse is talking about Jesus growing up. We don't know anything about Jesus' life between the ages of twelve to about thirty. This verse tells us what Jesus did in that time frame. Let's look at them one at a time. The first is wisdom. Jesus grew in wisdom. This one is rather simple. Jesus got smarter. He learned more. He learned from his earthly father how to be a carpenter. He learned about more things as He grows up. He learned like us. We go to school to learn. Jesus learned and He's God. We should learn as well. I know, ugh. So boring. God has put us in the school we're in for a reason. We have to do His will and do our best in school. The next thing that Jesus grew in was stature. That's ever easier to explain. He grew taller. He grew more mature. We all grow though sadly my growth is VERY slow. I'm so short! Oh well. My entire family's short with te exception of a few uncles. We grow in height, weight, and other things. Jesus grew stronger from all the work as a carpenter's son. He grew up to become a man. We grow as we do sports. We should do our best in that too. The next thing Christ grew in favour with God. He grew spiritually. He grew in the gospel. He only had the Old Testament, the Torah, to study from, but He grew closer to his heavenly Father. We have the entire Bible in our hands. We should read it everyday. If we don't, we don't have much of a chance to grow in the gospel. How do you grow in something that you barely spend reading? The last thing Jesus grew in was favour with man. Jesus was a social kid. He had friends. He was nice. People got along with Him. We should be like that too. How are we going to reach others for Christ if we're sitting in our room playing video games or if we barely talk to anyone. How are we going to show Christ if we always agrue? We need to be a person that people get along with. We can't get along with kids and not adults. We need to be able to tell others, not matter what the age, religion, gender, or race. Jesus didn't grow in these things one by one. He grew in all of them at the same time. We can't be exactly like Jesus, but we can always try.
