Golden text: “Jesus advanced in and stature, and in ’flluv,cr th God and men."—Luke, Christ's childhood was prophetic of | His ministry. Luke, the sclentist, gives us the record of the childhood of Jesus in a few paragraphis that revealed His coming greatness. The beloved physi- | chn, ‘writing to establish the world-wide | ission of Christianity, omits facts| ‘mentioned by Matthew, who penned his gospel for Jewish readers. The first gospel traced the r:lation of prophecy to the life of Christ, while the third gospel sought the facts by historical investigation. It is quite probable that Luke may have learn:d the incidents concerning the Master’s early life from our Lord’s mother. Mary knew them and Luke presents them in an cffort to win_humanity. ‘The records concerning His birth have passed through the acid test of rifice revealed that their funds were limited. It would be well if all parents should recognize that their children are | gifts of God to them and dedicate not | only the little onc “ut themselves to God's service. Two aged seinis, moved by the urge of the Holy Spirit, M‘I nized the babe as the promised Messiah. They surprised Joseph and Mary by their testimony concerning Jesus. The Nazareth Home. When Joseph returned with his fam- ily from Egypt, where they went to prevent the loss of the young Child's| life, hie had to establish a new home. After the visit of the wise men to Jerusalem, Herod was aroused by the fear that a new claimant to his throne | had been born. In an effort to destroy the babe he ordered oll children under 2 to jo slain. _Upon the death of Herod, Josc/h and his family came back to Palestine and they took up thoir resi- dence in Nazareth. This community | was made up largcly of homes of the ! priests, who were connected with the Temple in Jerusalee. hostile criticism. An accidental discov- ery of ancient manuscripts in an Egyp- tian rubbish hewap proved that Caesar Augustus had issued an imperial decree that an enrollment of the Roman: world be made every 14 years. A stone found in the walls of & hous: in Venice fur- | nished the clue to the date, when ‘Qulflnhla was the military governor of Syria. The tenses of the verb, translated “went up” in the third and fous verses, show us that the first enroliment was the regular one made in rdance with the Emperor’s edict, while in the fourth verse the aorist teaches us that n ‘was a definite action. Tacitus in his “Annals” records that a disturbance in | Syria called for th: igtervention of the Roman army. It brought Quirinius into Palestine at that important hour, ‘Fhe Birth of Jesus. No greater event ever took place in tae history of the world than the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem's manger. Its importance is shown by the angel's song that surprised the shepherds, who were watching over their flocks that were to be offersd in the sacrifices of the tem- ple. The first announcement of His advent was made to,the toiling men, who were destined to find in His teach- ings their salvation and hope. Joseph, the carpenter, and Mary, his wife, had traveled a hundred miles to meet the requirements of th: govern- ment,, that called for them to be en- rolled"in the royal town of Bethleh:m. They were poor working people, but their blood was of royal stock.

In all probability the recognition that was God and the nunflnuon of the Mother mok place at the same time. The ceremony of presenting the Child to God was a simple one. The priest took the Child from its mother and re- peated iwo short prayers, then handed ‘! babe back to the mother, who had :re leemed Him bl{r g into the tem- | ple treasury 5 s The purifica- | tion gift of two doves for the burnt sac- rth | ¢ the young child | that This made the atmosphere of the mountain village one of religion. In the simple home, where Jesus grew, physically and mentally, He had His n&other as His teacher. She taught Him e prayers that He used as a boy in ms. She opened up unto Him ptures. She may have taken uwp on the hills that surrounded home and pointed out to Him the ic_sites comnected with their na- tion’s history thas are visible from their lofty heights. His mother was His teacher until He entered the village school connected with the synagogue, here He learned Hebrew, the ritual of e Jewish faith and the fundamentals of His education. He learned His trade, as a carpenter, under Joseph, in aec- cordance with the Jewish custom of teaching every boy a trade. The news of the world and especially tne doings in Jerusalem reached the carpeater shop because the trade routes of the caravans crossed the Esdraclon plains at the foot of the mountain where their Ihnme and Joseph's carpenter shop were located. Hi; Jerusalem Passover Visit. Once during His boyhood days we see Him again in the Temple. He was about 12 and came to attend His first Passover feast and be enrolled as a child of the law. The teachers in the temple marveled at His knowledqe of of the Bible. Jesus was so interested in what He was learning from the scholars in the temple that He did not observe His friends when they left to return home. He remained in the temple and was surprised that His parents did not know that He was busy about His fa- ther’s business Returning to Nazareth, He became subject to His parents. We learn nothing of the next 18 years, except that Jesus developed mentally, phys- ically, spirituaily and socially. During time He formed the habit of spending njghts alone on the mountain heights irf prayer. From his study of the Old Testament He .became a mas- the important national events took gohce within ‘sight of the mountain me, where Jesus advanced along the fourfold lines that were necessary for Him to win humanity and the world for His Kingdom.
