I am crushin’ on the fact I finished 5 fun drawings this week about Secret Jesus. Here’s number 5.

Jesus and Puberty

So now we reach the obvious final question about Jesus’ lost teenage years. Did Jesus ever have a crush, fall in love, have a girlfriend and even perhaps ever marry?  The stories of Jesus in the Bible and elsewhere say nothing specific about these things. But I know this: if Jesus was real, meaning a real human, then I assume he went through what humans go through when they reach certain ages. What that means to me is that when Jesus reached puberty and beyond he had the same feelings most other boys have and that is a new found attraction to girls.  

Crushing Jesus

If Jesus had a crush and later maybe a girlfriend or two, it is safe to assume he also had break ups.  Some might have been his choice, others might have been the choice of the girl. I can hear it now, “I am so sorry Jesus, but there is just TOO MUCH PRESSURE dating the savior of the whole world. I have to break up with you.”  

Feeling What We Feel

But seriously, what this means is, once again, Jesus felt what we feel. If he was a real human, then he went through what we go through.  Isn’t that why we pay attention to him and his teachings, because we know that he knows and understands?

Do you follow Jesus and his teachings? What caused you to do so?
