What was it like in Nazareth when Jesus was growing up? He lived there from about age three until His 20’s. Then, Nazareth was a small village of about 300 people (although it has some 80,000 people today).
The Bible tells us very little about Jesus’ boyhood, but this Sunday we’ll take a look at what we do know. For instance, Jesus probably helped the rest of the people in Nazareth stomp on grapes when the harvest season came around. Although the Bible doesn’t talk about this, we know that was the common practice in that time and area. And, when He was old enough, He probably took his turn in the watchtowers where the villagers protected their crops from thieves.
The only story that tells us much detail about Jesus as a boy is when He was twelve years old, ready for His Bar Mitzvah, when He would officially become a man. Come join us for this interesting study…and bring a friend along.
Tom and Sydney Cook
