Oh okay, that makes sense when you put it like that then. I just always took the meaning to be that Jesus wasn't crying just at that particular time. Anyways, it is still one of my favorite Christmas carols.
What did you think about the other point I brought up though? Did Jesus instinctively know right from wrong? Or did He still have to be taught?
I personally think that it's the latter and even though Jesus always listened to and obeyed His parents, I still think that they had to parent Him to some extent and teach Him the difference between right and wrong and of course He always chose right afterwards. It sort of goes along with my thoughts that He still could have made mistakes that weren't considered sinful.
Like everybody knows Jesus was a carpenter, but what if He sometimes made mistakes with that? That wouldn't be considered sinful or anything just part of being human.
