Description: At twelve years old in the temple, Jesus came to understand in his human nature who he was as the Messiah, and that self-knowledge led him not to self-assertion but to submission and obedience; modeling for Christians that true identity in Christ produces a life of service to God and others rather than the world's call to 'find yourself' and cast off restraint.
