Today’s reading: Luke 2:36-52

“And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.

And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭2:40, 52‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Strength.
Stature.
Wisdom.
Grace.
I’m not sure I’m ready to try and answer what it means for God in flesh to grow up and into His potential or when He was actually aware of His identity.

We do know that he grew in these things. Even Jesus had some kind of progression when He was young.

Have we been praying to grow in grace, wisdom, and strength? Of all the words Luke could have used, these seem to significant. Jesus was getting ready for His mission (to ultimately die and rise), and these seemed to be essential to His preparation.

Perhaps they’ll be essential to ours as well?
