journey the leson a- a whole approach to the lesion the scriptures do not give us a great deal of information regard ing the early life of our lord but the few incidental passages we have are sufficient to furnish us with the picture of a childhood youth and young manhood of most exemplary character as a iad he and a or that he gives place to a bright and eager youngster who knows nothing of the past and steps out into the future with a smile the latter is a pretty fancy but it is only true of childhood we come into this world with a new brain void of all memory and ive look out upon

proprietor telephone 8103 gospel records stand out in contrast to lated concerning him in the so- called apocryphal gospels at twelve years of age we see him in the temple not attempting to teach his elders but hearing them and asking them questions from luke 416 we learn that he was a regular attendant upon the services of the local synagogue and in all probability was accustomed to taking some public part in them there is a mystery concerning his spiritual growth and his mes sianic consciousness but his words to joseph and mary wist ye not that i must be about my fathers business would indicate an early realization of his true nature and relationship to god as his father his critics scorned him because they had known him as the car penter which would indicate that he had taken up that trade in sub jection to and association with joseph his father he who created all things thus deigned to take the place of an apprentice to a useful trade in order to assist in earning the daily bread for the family to which he belonged according to birth the historical setting from shortly after his birth in bethlehem until his thirtieth year jesus lived in the city of nazareth the place where joseph and mary both had their homes at the time of their betrothal the dates would be from 45 bc to ad 2526 verse by verse luke 239 they returned into galilee to their own city nazar eth mary and joseph had taken the infant jesus to the temple at jerusalem in order to carry out the instruction concerning puriv cation as given in the law of moses lev 1268 when all was accomplished they returned to their own city where they made their home until after jesus began his public ministry verse 40 the child grew and waxed strong in spirit filled with wisdom and the grace of god was upon him jesus though a normal boy was characterized by a wis dom and spirituality beyond his years so that all who knew him realized that the favor or grace of god rested upon him in an ex ceptional way verse 41 his parents went to jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover as devout jews mary and joseph observed punc tiliously the commandments god had given concerning the obser vance of this memorial of israels deliverance from egypt verse 42 when he was twelve years old they went up to jerus alem after the custom of the feast jesus hall reached the age when he was considered responsible to take up his own duties in connec tion with the congregation of the lord thus he for the first time participated in that feast which typified his own death for our re demption verse 43 the child jesus tar ried behind in jerusalem absor bed in contemplation of the sacred rites carried on in the temple jesus remained in the holy city when the rest of the group from nazareth started for home he was not missed until some time had elapsed when unable to locate him in the company mary and joseph turned back to jerusalem to seek for him there verse 46 they found him in stouffville machine tool works telephone 153 rear of cnr station electric and acetylene welding farm machinery machinery repairs saosaooooooocooqoi i the temple there he was talkin i with the doctors of the law men who knew the hebrew scriptures he was eagerly questioning them on many things that stirred in his heart and listening respectfully to their explanations observe he did not attempt to teach those eld erly men but he occupied the place of a learner with due respect for age and with proper humility of spirit when however ques tions were put directly to him he answered so wisely and with such evidence of spiritual insight as to amaze the doctors verse 47 all that heard were astonished at his understanding and answers they could not but realize that this twelveyearold lad possessed greater spiritual in sight than they had ever seen be fore in one so young even as a child he lived in constant commun ion with god his father verse 4s his mother said unto him son why hast thou thus dealt with us mary did not yet seem to understand that the obed ience of jesus was due first of all to god as his only real father she complained reproachfully thy father and i have sought thee sor rowing although so highly favor ed we may gather from these words how little mary entered into the full meaning of the incarna tion otherwise she would have understood that the fault if any was with joseph and herself for not keeping in closer touch with him who had been committed to her to mother and watch over in his early years verse 49 wist ye not that i must be about my fathers bust ness there was no need to seek him as though he were lost or in danger of straying young as he was he knew his relationship to the father whose will he had come to do verse 50 they understood not the sayings which he spake unto them the mystery of his person was not yet clear to them conse quently his words perplexed them but his mother pondered them in her heart and was undoubtedly re minded of what gabriel had told her concerning him when she was given to know that she was to be the virginmother of messiah verse 51 he went down to nazareth and was subject unto them thus we see in him a model child giving honor and loving obedience to mary and joseph verse 52 jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favour with god and man there was something about the youth that drew mens hearts out to him as he developed physically he grew in grace and spirituality for though he was truly god he was just as truly man mark 63 is not this the car penter when at last the hidden years at nazareth were ended and he went forth to proclaim the kingdom of god those who had known him throughout his early life were amazed that a carpenter could speak with such power and clearness they knew him as one of a somewhat large family and they were astonished that he should so readily turn from the carpenters shop to the desk of the teacher when he had received no formal education to fit him for such service the heart of die lesson in childhood and youth jesus was perfect in all ways and thus became an example of how all young people should behave in the home the shop and in the place of public service of god solomon tells us that foolishness is bound in the heart of a child but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him prov 2215 in jesus we see a child in whose heart fol ly had no place and who needed not the rod for correction or pun ishment conscious of his divine- paternity he lived in the fear of god even in thoe early days curiosity is satisfied the child seems to say i remember now and proceeds to explore further the world in which it has found itself we are all children of an older growth and no matter how much knowledge we have acquired if we have retained our sense of wonder there is still a vast unknown to explore we live to learn and if we are attentive students we should learn how to live we make mis- akes and we are often frustrated but this is part of our tuition every end is a new beginning we measure time by cycles a day is one revolution of the earth a month a cycle of the moon and a year the completion of the earths orbit around the sun we set our clocks and calendars by these cycles for our own convenience but what we call the end of a year is an artificial measurement for he new year might as well begin in june as in january so far as the cycle of the earth is concerned mathematical scientists tell us that our idea of time is an illusion in 1ss7 a a michelson an ameri can physicist conducted experi ments to measure the velocity with which the earth moves through the ether from these experiments he came to the amazing conclusion that the earth did not move at all that it was stationary that of course was the belief of the ancients who thought the earth was the centre of the universe while no flaw could be found in michelsons mathematical deduc tion that the earth was stationary this was known to be impossible the result was a mystery to the mathematicians until einstein expounded his theory of relativity spacetime in 1905 but that theory is a still deeper mystery the deeper we probe the more mysterious the universe and life itseif becomes because the finite human mind is incapable of grasp ing ultimate truth keats realized this when lie wrote beauty is truth truth beauty that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know after all our explorations into the unknown we must return to our base baifled by the mystery of things job exclaimed whence then cometh wisdom and where is the place of understanding and he concluded behold the fear reverence of the lord that is wisdom and to depart from evil sir c avbrey smith d1ks ix hollywood sir c- aubrey smith one of britains staunchest represent atives in the film
