I have always thought it odd that the Bible does not contain any stories about the late childhood of Jesus. I wish we knew more about how he got along with his classmates in the synagogue, about when he really knew about his dual personality, about some of the things he did as a physical boy--did he climb trees, skip rocks in the river, play chase, eat his vegetables? What were his first words? What did he build in the carpenter's shop? How was his relationship with Joseph? and his siblings? What teaching opportunities these tales would have provided!
Always with the questions! Would it have spoiled some great eternal plan to give us a little more information?
