129:4.1 To the onlooking [[celestial]] [[intelligences]] of the [[local universe]], this [[Mediterranean]] trip was the most enthralling of all [[Jesus]]' [[earth]] [[experiences]], at least of all his [[career]] right up to the [[event]] of his [[crucifixion]] and [[mortal]] [[death]]. This was the fascinating period of his [[personal]] [[ministry]] in [[contrast]] with the soon-following [[epoch]] of [[public]] ministry. This [[unique]] episode was all the more engrossing because he was at this time still the [[carpenter]] of [[Nazareth]], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boat_building boatbuilder] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum], the [[scribe]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus Damascus]; he was still the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man]. He had not yet [[achieved]] the complete [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_110#110:6._THE_SEVEN_PSYCHIC_CIRCLES mastery of his human mind]; [[the Adjuster]] had not fully mastered and counterparted the [[mortal]] [[identity]]. He was still a man among men.

129:4.2 The [[purely]] human [[religious]] [[experience]]—the [[personal]] [[spiritual]] [[growth]]—of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] well-nigh reached the [[apex]] of [[attainment]] during this, the twenty-ninth year.

129:4.3 Throughout these years, while he did not [[appear]] to [[engage]] in so many [[seasons]] of [[formal]] [[communion]] with [[Universal Father|his Father in heaven]], he perfected increasingly [[effective]] [[methods]] of [[personal]] [[communication]] with the [[Thought Adjuster|indwelling spirit]] [[presence]] of the [[Paradise Father]]. He lived a real life, a full life, and a truly [[normal]], [[natural]], and [[average]] life in the [[flesh]].

129:4.6 Although this [[perfect]] life which he lived in the likeness of [[mortal]] [[flesh]] may not have received the unqualified and [[universal]] [[approval]] of his fellow [[mortals]], those who chanced to be his contemporaries on [[earth]], still, the life which [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] lived in the [[flesh]] and on [[Urantia]] did receive full and unqualified [[acceptance]] by the [[Universal Father]] as constituting at one and the [[same time]], and in one and the same [[personality]]-life, the fullness of the [[revelation]] of the [[eternal]] [[God]] to [[mortal]] man and the presentation of perfected [[human]] [[personality]] to the [[satisfaction]] of the [[Infinite]] [[Creator]].

129:4.7 And this was his true and [[supreme]] [[purpose]]. He did not come down to live on [[Urantia]] as the [[perfect]] and detailed example for any child or adult, any man or woman, in that age or any other. True it is, indeed, that in his full, rich, [[beautiful]], and [[noble]] life we may all find much that is exquisitely exemplary, [[divinely]] [[inspiring]], but this is because he lived a true and genuinely human life. [[Jesus]] did not live his life on [[earth]] in order to set an example for all other [[human being]]s to [[copy]]. He lived this life in the [[flesh]] by the same [[mercy]] [[ministry]] that you all may live your lives on [[earth]]; and as he lived his [[mortal]] life in his day and as he was, so did he thereby set the example for all of us thus to live our lives in our day and as we are.

129:4.8 By the end of the twenty-ninth year [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] had virtually finished the living of the life required of [[mortals]] as [[sojourners]] in the [[flesh]]. He came on [[earth]] the fullness of [[God]] to be [[manifest]] to man; he had now become well-nigh the [[perfection]] of man awaiting the occasion to become [[manifest]] to [[God]]. And he did all of this before he was thirty years of age.
