I was never familiar with the infancy stories before. All I had heard of was that Jesus was born by the virgin Mary. I also heard the Christmas was celebrating the birth of Jesus. I also knew that he was a carpenter. Other than this, however, I did not know anything else. It is interesting to think of the Bible as a biography of Jesus. Thinking of the infancy of Jesus is an interesting concept. When I think of Jesus, I think of him as an adult. I can’t even picture Jesus growing up and being a child. One part of the reading that was interesting was the Jesus supposedly performed exorcisms on sick and disabled people. It is a bizarre concept to think about Jesus performing exorcisms. I see how it would make sense that a sick person has an evil spirit that is making them ill. This was a new idea to me, however.
