The Adolescent Christ

in the book of Luke there's a reference that's mentioned a disclosure of the boy named Jesus and His future intentions He had been chosen to wear the Jewish crown upon His head and attend to His Father business, a destiny spirit-led the teenage boy Jesus, the Adolescent Christ understood at an early age He had a true mission in life born to the carpenter Joseph and the Virgin Mary born in the city of Nazareth in abject poverty an immaculate conception, born out of wed-lock many could not perceive of the gift His parents had got one day Jesus and His parents travelled out of town but on the road back home, Jesus could not be found His parents became frantic, they could not understand that He would be in the temple fulfilling God's master plan the Adolescent Christ was just trying to comprehend His true purpose for being on earth among mere men He was seeking the knowledge that which He needed to know from whence He had came and where He was destined to go He was appointed with a chosen destiny and had a desire to know why He was given this activity don't go about allowing society to put labels on you don't allow anyone to tell you what you can not do seek out your lineage and about your ancestors learn then apply that knowledge to everything in life you need to discern for you have been chosen just like the Adolescent Jesus Christ remember God had a purpose for giving you life as youths yourselves, you are in a precarious situation not quite adults but needing your own sense of validation walking a fine line between the young and the old trying to be respectful with a desire to be bold the Adolescent Christ, Jesus the boy king determined to discover what His appointment did mean and just like the teenagers of society today searching, hoping and seeking to find their own way with a craving to look beyond their own expectations wanting to exceed their ancestors accumulations just let the Lord God strengthen you and let Him be your guide and like His son Jesus Christ, let the Holy Spirit in you reside trust in Him, believe in Him and may your conduct be above board discover your heritage and your destiny while doing the work of the Lord
