We have only limited information about Jesus’ life especially the time when he was very young. Many unbiblical stories came out to glorify our Master but they may be not exact and may conflict with the teaching of the Word.

We may often get into a trap if we place our opinion on the Word. Our opinion must be in line with His Word. Otherwise we create religion.

As we know Jesus is the Logos, the Word of God in the flesh.

Entire Bible reflects the will of the Father.

God gave me special love for His Word. My desire is to communicate clearly to people who will read.

Jesus was born as another true prophet in the Holy Land territory, and never traveled outside the country. He said He came to the lost sheep of Israel.

He became as an ordinary man as any other, but without sin. He called Himself the Son of Adam (Ben Adam) and not the Son of God. This was for purposes. Universal justice demanded that He match Satan as a man and not as the Son of God.

Jesus loves the scripture; He studied it diligently. Not only that but John called Him the Logos, the Word in flesh.

Jesus at age twelve memorized the Torah. It was a custom in Israel. At the age of 27 most of the young men memorized the entire Tanakh. One reason for this was in case of a disaster (fire or flood or other damage), they could restore lost of the scrolls exactly. God protected His Word well.

Jesus was hidden into a large family to avoid premature discovery by Satan. Jesus needed to prepare Himself in peace for His ministry. Having only one child in the family it would be very suspicious to people and to Satan. Jesus had four half brothers and at least two half sisters. There were at least seven children in the family. All of them were children of Mary and Joseph and there were at least nine members of family.

Some writings of Josephus indicate that the rabbi of the Synagogue in Nazareth believed that Jesus was the Messiah. Jesus spent a lot of time studying the Scripture. The Bible was not available at home, only in the synagogue. He kept Himself busy and worked with Joseph in the carpenter’s shop. In His spare time He prepared Himself for ministry learning the Scripture.

According to the record of James who lived with Jesus, Jesus was a man of the word. In the Cana wedding Mary said: “Whatsoever He says unto you, do it.” She knew that whatever He says He was able to perform.

At the age of twelve He amazed the teachers in temple with His memorization and understanding of Scriptures.

When He went into the desert, He fasted and repeated the Word of God aloud *) to gain faith that He needed later to heal the sick and perform the miracles He did. For all men the same rules apply. He had to be a man who was born through the birth canal. Later He said: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that enter not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber (John 10:1). Allegorically, He referred to the door as a birth canal and sheepfold as this earth. Any other spirits like angels, devil… not born here have no authority on the earth like we have.

Jesus never performed any miracles before He was anointed to His ministry. Holy Spirit descended on Him when John baptized and anointed Him. All heard the voice from heaven: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased (Mat. 3:17).

I am always questioning any extra-biblical sources, which does not match the Bible. This is why we need to know the Bible and understand it. The Holy Spirit will guide us into all the truth. I have confidence in the Bible since it never failed and disappointed me. The book says what it had to say. What the Bible says it is. In there is all we need to know for a victorious life.
