John showed to us in John 2:1-11 the change the change at some point in the earthly life of Christ when He no longer was under the authority of Mary, because He was about His Father's business:

Not to hijack but ive often wondered at what age Jesus realized who He was.
Also wondered, as a boy, how he stayed clear of fist fights, name calling and other 'sinful activity', or was his sinlessness only counted from the time He was baptized, going into ministry?Yes at 12 He was left behind at the temple. Always wondered if He knew from birth He was God or if it came to Him later. Just one of those things that makes me wonder.

So I guess no fist fights, sassin his parents, or unkind words to his childhood peers.2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
That pretty much says it all.

A preacher told once of a story where Christ was a small boy and made birds of mud, like mud pies I guess, and they came to life and flew off. Might have been from the apocrypha not sure where he said he read it.
Its just a story but I think Jesus might have played as a young boy.The question, then, would be...why? All that the Lord did and does has purpose and reason. If He did that, then it had to serve a purpose, as I'm sure we can both agree.

Lol, I've was just talking to someone IRL about Jesus early yrs too. Did he heal any of their sick animals if they had any. Yes how did he do in fights,skinned knees and with his siblings. The gospels and most all movies depict him as singular.
I'm sorry MM but I don't watch online preachers whom ppl name drop in controversy. Not you dropping but I've heard McArthur is either Calvinist or Arminiaist or whatever it is...... ppl argue over their doctrines all the time. I quote Spurgeon a bit bc any quotes I've read are always good.. (smiles)
