Luke 2:39-40 King James Version (KJV)
39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
39 It is very important they did everything that was required because Christ had to live by the law to fulfill it, He could not be found guilty for breaking God’s law. We learn form Matthew that the reason they went back to the Galilee is avoid Herod who wanted Christ dead. They may have been in Bethlehem for about two years before returning to Nazareth.
40 Jesus would become grace for us by His death and He was full of it as God. He grew strong refers to a physical strong but more of a mental strong and an obedience to God.
