Luke 2:51-52 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Two thoughts strike me every time I read this passage. First, that Jesus was obedient to Joseph and Mary is simply incredible. Of course, we would expect this of the one who never sinned. But think of who was submitting to whom! The Designer, Creator, Sustainer of all was placing himself under the authority of two of his sinful creatures! Wow! Add to this the thought that Jesus, like any other boy, had to "grow up" intellectually, physically, spiritually and socially! This proves without doubt that Jesus Christ was (and still is) FULLY MAN! And how this fits with His infinite Divine nature is a mystery beyond my meager intellect!
