The Silent years in Jesus’ life


“What was happening in the life of Jesus between 12 and 30 years, I would like to know? Have you ever thought of that before?” I was asked by a young man.
“Did He ever experience teenage pressures?”
“Did he have friends they played together? If he did, where did they disappear to when he became 30?”
“Did His friends ever disappoint him or broke His heart or said any bad thing about Him and He wanted to retaliate?”
“Was He faced with the pressure of trying to ‘sag’ His trousers, have girl friends, and hang out at joints or clubs if there were any?”
“Did He ever ask anything from His parents and they didn’t give Him?”
“Did He ever have a fight with His friends or His siblings?”
“Was He at anytime in this period ill and had to visit a physician? Or was He just shielded from all these experiences?”
“I want to know what happened in His teen years and His early youth.”
“If He had all this experiences what did He do???”
“If He had a bad teacher in school what will He do?”
“If he had a fiancé that jilted Him what will He do?”
“If His relationship was not working what will He do?”
“If He had a wicked boss, what will He do?”
“If He was trying to get a Job after graduation and it wasn’t coming what will He do?”
“If He was the boss and had an unprofitable employee, what would He do?”
“And finally, why did He have to wait until 30 to start???”
It would be easy to just excuse it away that God didn’t want us to worry our self about it that was why it was not mentioned in the scriptures, but that will not satisfy the curiosity of a young person who want to do the right things and wanted to be like Jesus.
What do you know or think?
