God's Plan for Growing Up


Four areas of life are covered - a complete pattern for adolescent development. Jesus grew mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially.

I find it interesting that Jesus grew in "favor" (comes from the same word as "grace") with men. Adults respected him because of His demeanor. I don't mean to be a scrooge, but it bothers me the way many young people today don't get basic manners and communication when it comes to conversing with adults.

I'm not legalistic about it, but if you want to be like Jesus, you'll mind your manners.
