It confirms the greatest hopes but also the greatest fears of Mary and Joseph as it makes him a target for the Romans. And yet Jesus is so young, and his compassion so deep, that it seems completely natural for him. This is an extraordinary moment because no one, even Jesus himself, knew such a thing was possible or that He was capable of it. The young Messiah insists on visiting the body, and it is there He performs His first miracle, bringing the boy back to life. No one else could see the man in the hood, and Jesus is blamed for the boy’s death. A mysterious hooded figure tosses an apple core to trip up the bully, who falls, hits his head on a rock, and dies. When a bully gives her a hard time, Jesus steps in to defend her and the bully starts attacking Him. We first see Him listening to a young girl who is teaching him to draw a camel. Jesus is played by sweet-faced Adam Greaves-Neal.
It is a reverential, respectful portrayal of Jesus at age 7, as the Romans were trying to find and kill Him, and as He was just beginning to understand His power and purpose. “The Young Messiah,” “inspired by scripture and rooted in history,” shows us His early years. But we know almost nothing about His childhood, other than his astonishing the elders with his depth of knowledge. Copyright 2016 FocusWe have a very clear picture of Jesus’s birth, and it is endlessly re-enacted and depicted each year at Christmas time.
