The Hidden Years


The Hidden Years of Jesus Christ begin with the ending of his childhood to the start of his public ministry. These years, approximating from 12 to 30, are known as the hidden years because there is no recorded documentation of Jesus’ existence during these times. I believe one of the main reasons God does not reveal the hidden years of Jesus’ life because he wants to show us that he lived an ordinary life, a life very similar to everyone else. God does this to show that Jesus endured the same joys and hardships as any normal human being. This also shows how simple God actually is. God desires each of us to know Him more from the heart, and less from the mind. Many people try to understand God more from their mind, and end up disappointed. They try to bring God down to their level, instead of rising up to the level of God. This is why God is based on love, and he looks at the heart, not the mind.
