Luke 2:52. And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man

November 22, 2025

Jesus didn’t grow up all at once. He learned things a little at a time, just like you do. He got smarter, stronger, closer to God, and kinder with people. This verse reminds us that growing is a slow, steady journey, and that’s okay.

Think about these four ways Jesus grew:

Wisdom: You learn new things every day: at school, at home, and from mistakes.

Stature: Your body grows when you eat well, rest, and stay active.

Favor with God: You grow closer to God when you pray, listen, and try to follow Him.

Favor with people: You grow with others when you share, help, and treat them with kindness.

You don’t have to be perfect. Just keep growing a little at a time because that’s exactly how Jesus grew too.
