And Jesus grew… Luke 2:52
Jesus’ Time has been focusing on Jesus growing and development following the Christmas birth. His parents following the Jewish law brought Jesus to the Temple for his presentation and thus meeting up with Anna and Simeon who identify him to all present that he is the Messiah, the Promised One. And so we too are growing in the Lord.
