Ever since Christmas, I've been thinking non-stop about what Jesus was like. At the time he was here on earth he was a human. He was born as a baby, he had to learn how to walk, talk, he even had to potty train I'm sure! It is such an encouragement to think that Jesus went through life, he was here on this earth. So when we start complaining to him with our problems and how earth is such a terrible place...He can relate! Of course we could never compare ourselves to Jesus. We are a lot different than him, He has never sinned for starters. Jesus had to grow up just like us! I'm sure he got in fights with his siblings, went to school and had chores. By the time he was maybe 12, he probably started working with his father. If you haven't seen the Nativity Story, I highly suggest it. Joseph asks the question "Will he just know he was born with greatness? Will he gradually grow into this leader? Will there be something in his eyes?" This will be one of my millions of questions to ask God when I get to heaven. He even had to die like a human. He knows what challenges we face, he had most of them too.

Hey that's a good movie! Yep, if I remember all my questions they'll probably number in the millions. An interesting thought is how Joseph must have felt, raising the son of God. A little nervous maybe?
This was what I've been learning in Bible class! I've been thinking a lot about that too, how Jesus was once a teenager just like us. Jesus understood everything about being a human because He was one Himself. Wow, I have a lot of questions to ask Him to when I get to Heaven. What was it like to be God and human at the same time? Wow, I feel so small now like I'm supposed to be.
Welcome back, Justin!
