Lesson 4 | Jesus' Early Years

We’ve finished our two-lesson study on the birth and early years of Jesus’ life. This week we looked at Jesus as a 12-year-old. Although Scripture doesn’t give a lot of details about his adolescent years, the Bible does give some insight into how Jesus grew during that critical season of life.

Specifically, this week we discussed Luke 2:39-52 and saw how Jesus used his teenage years to grow in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and people. He demonstrated obedience toward God and toward his parents, and his teenage years prepared him for adulthood and his years of ministry.

Sometime this week, We’d love for you to keep the conversation going by discussing these kinds of questions with your teenager:

  • What are some specific ways your teenage years can shape the rest of your life?
  • How are obedience and wisdom connected to your spiritual preparation?
  • How can you balance the desire to enjoy your teenage years while also preparing for the rest of your life? Are these goals in conflict? Explain.
​
And as a family this week, consider reading Proverbs 2 together and discussing when we need wisdom in life and how we find God’s wisdom.

Have a blessed week!
