We do not know much about him when he was a boy. The

Bible says that he was “ filled with wisdom/’ and that he was in

favor with God and man.» We know by this that he was a good

boy, and was loved by every one who knew him.

The people in Nazareth were not thought to be very good,

and sometimes, when Jesus was older, he was looked down

upon because he had once lived in Nazareth. But if the people

were not good the country

was beautiful. Jesus proba¬

bly went to school with

the other Jewish boys, and

studied Jewish history and

law, from the books of the

Bible. We can also think

of him as playing and work¬

ing in his father’s carpen¬

ter’s shop, and with his

mother in the house.

He learned, too, from

other teachers than books.

The mountains and lakes,

the birds and flowers, the

storms, the sunshine, and

indeed everything he saw

or heard, had lessons for

him which he was happy in

learning.

This was how he became

filled with wisdom; because he saw something to learn in every¬

thing about him, and was willing to try to learn the lesson.
