Yes, only the last three years of his life was lived as the Messiah and Savior.
His parents knew, and raised him as Messiah, and at twelve they had to go back to get him...his special birth all was validation of his Messiah, but until his baptism he was a carpenter in his adult life.
For some reason, I’ve always had this weird vision of a young Jesus hanging out with his friends at the Roman version of Home Depot, talking about the results from the last night’s chariot races. He probably lived a fairly regular life when he was younger.
And I roll my eyes when Dems try to play up the whole “Jesus was poor” meme. He was a carpenter, a skilled craftsman. He was probably fairly comfortably middle-class.
