In the New Testament, in Luke 2, we have a passage that informs us of a few things about Jesus as a young boy. Other than what we read from Luke 2:41-52 the Bible tells us nothing more about Jesus’ boyhood. At the end of this passage in Luke 2, we are told that Jesus increased in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and men. Do these words describe a typical childhood growth from infancy to toddler, to a young child, to a maturing young man? How should Christians think of Jesus as a child in a way that honors Him as Lord but also recognizes His humanity? Did Jesus have the typical knowledge, wisdom, insight, and understanding of an eight-year-old child? Or, because of His divine nature, did he retain the complete, all-knowing characteristic of the Lord of the universe? What should we think of extra non-biblical writings that tell us things about His childhood? What can we really know about our Lord’s younger years? Join us this week on the Straight Truth Podcast to gain biblical perspective and insight as Dr. Richard Caldwell and Dr. Josh Philpot discuss the life of Christ as a child and what we can actually know. Dr. Caldwell explains that these questions provide an opportunity to talk about a matter that pertains to these kinds of questions and to the whole of Scripture itself. That matter is contentment. Dr. Caldwell says that the Scriptures should not only answer our questions, but the Scriptures should also dictate our questions. So when we start with questions like these, the answers will be whatever the Scriptures say; we say what the Scriptures say. So then, we know that the eternal Son of God came from Heaven to earth, was born of a virgin, did not divest Himself of His divine nature, and took on an additional nature, a real human nature. He’s as much God on earth as He was in Heaven, and His human nature He took on was real. And there, at the end of the Luke 2 passage, it tells us He grew in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and men. These are things the Bible tells us, that’s what it says; that’s what we can know and believe.

It is no different for Christians. Yet, as we go through these things and deal with them, we are called to rejoice; that's different. But we’re not just called to rejoice we’re commanded to rejoice always, not some of the times. This exhortation, along with the exhortations to pray without ceasing and give thanks in all circumstances in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 applies to all Christians everywhere in every situation. But how can Christians rejoice always? How can we have joy amid our heartache, pain, sicknesses, sufferings, and death? Even as we know the Bible teaches us that we will go through tribulations and suffering and that God Himself has ordained this for us, how do we do that with joy? Join us on the Straight Truth Podcast this week as Dr. Josh Philpot presents Dr. Richard Caldwell with these questions, seeking biblical answers to help us understand what it means to be joyful and rejoice even though our emotions seem to be saying something different. Dr. Caldwell explains that believers can have more than one emotion operating in their hearts concurrently. The Word of God acknowledges this. In this same letter to the Thessalonians, where the Apostle Paul exhorts believers to rejoice always, he speaks of believers grieving over the loss of believers who have passed away. They grieved, and we grieve also. But as believers, we grieve differently than those who are lost because of the hope we have in Christ, the hope in a future resurrection. Just because a believer is sad, discouraged, or disheartened doesn’t mean they are sinning.

People often talk about leaving a legacy behind when they pass away. We may read and talk about those from the past who've left a lasting impression or impact on their generation. We may even know someone whose life has had this effect on our own lives. How should Christians think about the concept of legacy? Does the Bible have anything to say about believers leaving a legacy? What about the church? Should individual churches seek to leave behind a legacy? Join us this week on the Straight Truth Podcast as Dr. Josh Philpot asks Dr. Richard Caldwell to help us think through the concept of legacy and what kind of legacy we should be concerned with that would honor the Lord. Dr. Caldwell says that talking about legacy means we are mindful of the future of those following us and wanting to leave them something that would be helpful when we’re gone. He says there are examples of this throughout the Scriptures. One he shares is from Proverbs 13:22, which says, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous.” He explains that God’s blessing on godly people is that even the way He has blessed them follows in future generations where sinners end up with nothing. This is what this verse sort of describes, but it also indicates that this is what man ought to be mindful of. Dr. Caldwell says we see this, whether it’s about teaching our children the truths of the Scriptures or the kind of legacies set before us in Hebrews 11. An example of parents with their children is when we read of Paul celebrating with Timothy over the fact that his faith was first seen in his mother and grandmother and how they influenced his life. God sets these examples before us in His Word because they're meant to instruct, encourage, and fortify us in the things we are to live in today. It's in that way believers want to leave a legacy.
