Jesus’ Early Manhood

128:0.1As Je­sus of Naz­a­reth en­tered upon the early years of his adult life, he had lived, and con­tin­ued to live, a nor­mal and av­er­age hu­man life on earth. Je­sus came into this world just as other chil­dren come; he had noth­ing to do with se­lect­ing his par­ents. He did choose this par­tic­u­lar world as the planet whereon to carry out his sev­enth and fi­nal be­stowal, his in­car­na­tion in the like­ness of mor­tal flesh, but oth­er­wise he en­tered the world in a nat­u­ral man­ner, grow­ing up as a child of the realm and wrestling with the vi­cis­si­tudes of his en­vi­ron­ment just as do other mor­tals on this and on sim­i­lar worlds.

128:0.2Al­ways be mind­ful of the two­fold pur­pose of Mi­chael’s be­stowal on Uran­tia:

128:0.31. The mas­ter­ing of the ex­pe­ri­ence of liv­ing the full life of a hu­man crea­ture in mor­tal flesh, the com­ple­tion of his sov­er­eignty in Neb­a­don.

128:0.42. The rev­e­la­tion of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther to the mor­tal dwellers on the worlds of time and space and the more ef­fec­tive lead­ing of these same mor­tals to a bet­ter un­der­stand­ing of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

128:0.5All other crea­ture ben­e­fits and uni­verse ad­van­tages were in­ci­den­tal and sec­ondary to these ma­jor pur­poses of the mor­tal be­stowal.
