The next morning, Joseph and Mary took the baby Jesus and went to look for family in the Judean Hills of Bethlehem. Remember, this is the land of both their families, which is why they had returned here for the worldwide census, issued by Caesar of Augustus. Jesus' family was going to settle in and remain in Bethlehem for a while. We know this because when the wise men came they found the child Jesus and not the baby Jesus. They also found Jesus in a house, not a stable (Matt. 2:11). All this you will discover today.

Our study will begin with the birth of Jesus and go all the way to His death, resurrection and ascension. In this first phase of the movement, we will be looking at how the Father prepared His Son to be the greatest leader that has ever lived on earth. In King David, Jesus gives us a model of how to lead with integrity and skillful hands. "And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them." Psalm 78:72

The Father will spend the first thirty years of Jesus' life preparing Him to be the leader and shepherd of His people. The Father will mold Jesus into a man of integrity with skillful hands like He did for David of old.
