Dr. Darrell Bock, a prominent New Testament scholar and author, dives into the intriguing silence surrounding Jesus' teenage years. He discusses the intentional narrative focus of the Gospels, suggesting they highlight events that align with God's plans. Bock paints a picture of Jesus’ rural upbringing and early signs of self-awareness, while comparing ancient and modern biographies. He also addresses common misconceptions about Jesus and encourages embracing a fuller understanding of His roles, inviting listeners to trust the Gospels for their spiritual journey.
