What was Christ doing in the carpenter's shop?
Practising.
Though perfect, we read that He learned obedience, and grew in wisdom and in favour with God.
...
Therefore keep in the midst of life.
Do not isolate yourself.
Be among men and among things, and among troubles, and difficulties.
You remember Goethe's words:
"Talent develops itself in solitude; character in the stream of life."
"I lived for myself, I thought for myself,
For myself, and none beside-
Just as if Jesus had never lived,
As if He had never died."
Love begets love.
