Lessons from the Nativity Story: The Boyhood of Jesus Christ

King Benjamin taught that God created all things, both in heaven and in earth, and that he has all wisdom and all power (Mosiah 4:9). John the Beloved, from a revelation in the D&C, taught that when Christ dwelt in the flesh He received not of the fulness at first, but received grace for grace (D&C 93:11-14).

The childhood and boyhood of Jesus must have been a great thing to behold, but the Gospel writers chose to write only one verse about His life from age 12 to 30: "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man" (Luke 2:52)
