Chapter 7: As a child

This chapter talks about the growth of Jesus Christ. Jesus did not have the privilege of going to school but his mother was his first teacher, he also studied the law of God. He had powers and he never abused the power to ease his work as a carpenter. He glorified God in all circumstances, Jesus lived a holy life even though he dwelt in Nazareth a place filled with temptation and other vices. He learnt from nature.

He acknowledge God as his father, he also knew that they was time was everything “he said, "I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.”. He is the perfect example for the youths to follow to get to the father.

Chapter 8: Passover Visit

This chapter talks about the Passover. The Passover indicates the birth of the Hebrew nation. After the feast of Passover was done, his parent decided to return back home but Jesus was not with them. Jesus did not waste the time looking at the temple instead he went to learn more form the teachers of the word of God. He answered question and the teachers were amazed at his level of understanding. When his parent found out that they had left Jesus in Jerusalem, they were perplexed and went back looking for him. He said unto them "How is it that ye sought me?" answered Jesus. "Wist ye not that I must be about My Father's business?” they were surprised at his saying for they did not understand what he was saying. The lesson learnt from this chapter is that any little opportunity we have we should use it in the edification of God.
