His Unknown Youth – v2

We are never really told
the story of His unknown youth
most of His life a mystery
His time upon the earth

Never told of His life
the babe with the gifts
a fugitive fleeing into Egypt
nothing until many years hence

The youngster in the temple
staying behind in His father’s house
All that is known of most of his life,
thirty years gone.

Called to the water
to the Jordan, to John
cleansed and commissioned
before the days of trial alone.

Only important, the time in ministry
after the water, the dove
healing, teaching,
all leading to the cross.
