It can also metaphorically denote maturity, wisdom, or spiritual growth. The term is used both in literal and figurative senses throughout the Scriptures.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b>Physical Height:</b><br> · In the Old Testament, stature often describes the physical height of individuals, particularly in the context of strength and presence. For example, Saul, the first king of Israel, is noted for his impressive stature: "Kish had a son named Saul, as handsome a young man as could be found anywhere in Israel, and he was a head taller than anyone else" (<a href="/1_samuel/9-2.htm">1 Samuel 9:2</a>). This physical attribute was significant in the cultural context of leadership and kingship.<br><br>2. <b>Growth and Development:</b><br> · The New Testament uses stature to describe the growth and development of Jesus Christ. In <a href="/luke/2-52.htm">Luke 2:52</a>, it is written, "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man" . This passage highlights not only physical growth but also the holistic development of Jesus in wisdom and spiritual maturity.<br><br>3. <b>Metaphorical Use:</b><br> · Stature is also used metaphorically to describe spiritual maturity and the growth of believers. <a href="/ephesians/4-13.htm">Ephesians 4:13</a> speaks of the church's growth: "until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ" . Here, stature represents the goal of spiritual maturity and Christlikeness that believers are encouraged to attain.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>· <b>Human Limitation and Divine Sovereignty:</b><br> · The Bible acknowledges human limitations in altering one's physical stature, as seen in Jesus' teaching in <a href="/matthew/6-27.htm">Matthew 6:27</a>: "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" . This rhetorical question underscores the futility of anxiety over physical attributes and emphasizes trust in God's sovereignty.<br><br>· <b>Spiritual Growth:</b><br> · The concept of stature in a spiritual sense encourages believers to pursue growth in their faith and character. The call to grow into the "full measure of the stature of Christ" (<a href="/ephesians/4-13.htm">Ephesians 4:13</a>) serves as a reminder of the transformative journey of sanctification, where believers are conformed to the image of Christ.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br><br>· In ancient Near Eastern cultures, physical stature was often associated with power, leadership, and divine favor. This cultural backdrop provides insight into why figures like Saul were noted for their height and why Goliath's stature was intimidating to the Israelites (<a href="/1_samuel/17-4.htm">1 Samuel 17:4</a>).<br><br>· The emphasis on spiritual stature in the New Testament reflects a shift from external attributes to internal, spiritual qualities as markers of true maturity and leadership within the Christian community.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br>While physical stature is acknowledged in the Bible, the greater emphasis is placed on spiritual growth and maturity. Believers are encouraged to develop in wisdom and character, striving to reflect the stature of Christ in their lives.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>n.</I>) The natural height of an animal or human.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">STATURE</span><p>stat'-ur (madh, middah, "measure" (<a href="/numbers/13-32.htm">Numbers 13:32</a>, etc.), qomah, "standing up" (<a href="/1_samuel/16-7.htm">1 Samuel 16:7</a>, etc.); helikia, "greatness"): This last word means "height of the body," "stature," in <a href="/luke/2-52.htm">Luke 2:52</a>; <a href="/luke/19-3.htm">Luke 19:3</a> <a href="/ephesians/4-13.htm">Ephesians 4:13</a>, but it can mean "length of life" equally well and has this force in <a href="/john/9-21.htm">John 9:21, 23</a> <a href="/hebrews/11-11.htm">Hebrews 11:11</a>.

Hence, the translation "able to extend his long path of life by a single cubit" (the Revised Version (British and American) "measure of life").
