Question:

How old was Jesus Christ when he began his earthly ministry?

Answer:

In the flesh, about 30 years old (Jesus is the eternal Son of God). Luke 3:21-23 says, “Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age…”
