This is so gorgeous.  Thank you for sharing such beautiful works and concepts of Jesus being a happy little kid with His Mom.  I would love it if artists would focus more on Happy Jesus than sad, tortured Jesus.  I understand we must remember His suffering and sacrifice, but let's remember His happy times, too!

God bless you, my Friend.

Have you seen The Passion of Christ? There's a scene that compares Jesus falling under the cross to his falling when he learned how to walk. In both cases, Mary wants to run to help him when he's hurt.

This is lovely; simple yet deeply moving.

this is very tender, and it really warms my heart.

beautiful

Oh, sweet. Non-white Jesus. Great job.

This is adorable.

Very lovely and cute! I want this as a poster.

Very touching piece. Simple and beautiful.

Awwww! It's so cute!

very beautiful

This is really beautiful. I love how simple it is, and yet so powerful at the same time. You're right- Jesus did grow up as a normal human child because he is human. People forget that a lot of the time, but it's so important because it makes him so relatable.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get on a religion rant. Just know that I truly love this, both for the message and for your artistic ability

great pic, move the feel of it! very simple, beautiful

Ohhh how sweet!

I imagined how Jesus stayed to preach when He was 12, and when Mary came back and found him, He tells her that He had a job to do. And she's like "Jesus, You had me worry sick, boy! If You're gonna go preach Your word, at LEAST tell me!" And she pulls Him by His ear while he's like "Mama! That's attached, y'know!"

*huggles deviation* I love anything cute, religious or not.

A great job

Very cute!

Aww I love it, it's so beautiful, adorable and sweet!

See, now, this is why I'm religious.

<3's

this is great!

OH. This is just incredibly gorgeous. And considering that I've been reeling with thoughts about all those years of Jesus' life before he took up the wandering and - anyway - this is just lovely.

this is really well done! and quite cute, too.

YAY JESUS. <3
THIS IS CUTE!

aaaw so cute
amazing as always

its georgous, i love it

Very beautifully done

This is absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous. Most people never give Jesus's younger years much thought aside from his birth and the occasion when he was twelve, but you are absolutely right. He did grow up like a regular little boy for the most part. Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful and thought provoking piece of work

Hi Random deviant - lovely digital drawing - nice simple lines

thats true..many ppl dont think too much of his baby hood but i can imagine it was like most lil kids ^^ very very sweet

This is simply GORGEOUS! I love the definite outlines and the colours you used here.

This is so cute ! Instant !

Aww! this is so cute!!

*insane amounts of smiles!!!!!!!

This is so sweet! I love it!

I love how you spread the word by your art. I think it's one of the best ways to open up other people to it.

Awwwwwww...Happy bday to your mom!!!

God bless^)^

Beautiful work! This sort of work from you always impresses me. ^_^

you do a great job of showing the human-like qualities of Jesus and his innocence And Mary seems so motherly here, too!

Oh goodness, this is cute! I love your idea and explanation for this - touching and true.

And uploaded on a Sunday? Nice!

Beautiful, just beautiful.

Very nice, I really like it!

This is absolutely Beautiful! It's simple yet stunning and is really a good way to portray him.

i've never really thought of Jesus's childhood before...this is so beautiful, in a simple way. It really makes you remember that Jesus was human, too, not always just a miracle worker. Wonderful job.

This is beautiful I love it

I really love this. I mean, I love to think of Jesus as he was growing up and I always wondered how his cihldhood was. I mean, he grew up human so wouldn't he have played games, learned to walk/talk, and just go through all the experiences a child would?

There's only two records of him as a child though, when he was 12, and of course when he was born.

Even though I'm not really religious, I instantly fell in love with this picture.
I've never really thought of Christ as a child before, but now that I have, it just seems so endearing.
I think your picture has captured the more innocent side of Christ's life perfectly. When you're that age, you're not worried about saving the world, you just want to play.

Awwwww.... ^_^

I love it! I love to think of Jesus as a child, it makes me feel a lot closer to him as that he was human too, he had to learn to walk, and to talk, and even though he was sinless, he grew up like us.

This is adorable, really.
