Just a Child

No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak. If he does, its fullness pulls away, the new from the old, and the tear gets worse.  Mark 1:21-22

In today's Gospel we learn that Jesus came to bring something new into the world.  Personally,  I am reflecting on where Jesus learned the tact of sewing and how he came to understand the art of what happens when you sew something new on old clothing.   I can only imagine what Jesus childhood was like and try and understand as he learned some he knew everything.  It is mind blowing to try to comprehend this type of childhood.  We hear the one instance in the Bible when Joseph and Mary found him in the temple at the age of twelve where he was listening and asking questions to the teachers, but yet all were amazed at his understanding and answers.  Jesus is God but yet took on human form and in this person is supposed to be a child.   

Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered; and when he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him." Hebrews 5:8
