(Synoptics: Luke 2:40-52)‘The child grew.’ This was necessary as part of his true humanity.
He has been through this experience of being a child as well as being an adult. This is to the comfort of every child who might think that Christ’s experience is so different from their own, that he cannot relate to them until they are adults. No, he is the Saviour of little children also, and none are too young to put their trust in him.
