[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men" (Luke 2:52) Ok, but how did he do that? What did he do to increase his wisdom and stature? Certainly not just by being an obedient son and a carpenter. Gaining stature is usually tied to some sort of achievement or special ability. Growing in wisdom is usually from experience and learning. If that's true, wouldn't those key years be worthy of more than a brief, passing mention?[/quote] In this context stature means physical size. He grew up. He became a man, presumably a strong one since he was doing physical labor. He gained wisdom from growing up and studying Torah and facing adult challenges, and from the model of his parents who were presumably ideal parents given who chose them.[/quote] +1 He did what Jewish boys did. Jesus was a peasant boy.[/quote]
