First Baptist Church of Kamloops

So Jesus is growing in his knowledge as a human, as a as a boy, because he is diving into the word and because he is allowing the spirit to work with him to open his mind to understand that word. Isaiah's prophecy tells us that the Holy Spirit is resting upon Christ. So as we think of the boy Jesus with these teachers of the law in the temple, not only did he have wisdom in his own heart and mind, but he was also under the controlling influence, the guiding direction, the empowering hand of the Holy Spirit.
