I am not afraid to tell you, it’s day 4 of Secret Jesus week!
Jesus Takes a Trip
Jesus had to have gone places on his own when he became an older teen. Maybe to visit his relatives, maybe to sell something his father and his shop at created, maybe to get supplies. No doubt new and interesting experiences awaited him on these journeys. There were likely moments of fear and confusion about what to do next as well.
Facing the unknown
One of the most heroic elements about Jesus was his willingness to face his fears head on. He had to have learned that he grew up, don’t you think? Whether it was learning from his parents or learning while out on his own, it’s the same thing we all have been through. We can’t learn if we are curled up into a ball, afraid to move and grow. It might be scary, it might be dangerous, but if it is the path you know you need to go down, then you need to face those things, and you can.
