The meeting focused on Paper 123 of The Urantia Book, discussing Jesus's early childhood.

Jesus's education began at age seven, and he excelled in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. He faced minor accidents, including a fall during a sandstorm, which caused his mother anxiety. Jesus's moral and spiritual education was influenced by his home life and synagogue studies.
