He learns to explain who he is and isn’t in parables. He matures—like you and me—by failing, falling, and then rising again, stronger.
In
Jesus’ Silent Years: Parable Jesus matures through temptation, doubt, and longing. He follows the classic path of the hero—beginning in an unremarkable mudhole, unknown and undistinguished, innocent and naïve, in
Foundations. He steadily moves down into the mainstream of growing up— leaving home, wrestling with his own unique God-man identity. Suffering and loss carve out an interior life for him, in
Parable and
Journey. Finally, he shows us all how to listen to the world of spirit—adorned with the jewels of wisdom, compassion, and courageous vulnerability—in
Homecoming.
