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.
