There are several clues given us in Scripture that Jesus did not operate out of his deity but did, in fact, live his life just as we do. First of all, we know that Jesus had to learn (Luke 2:40; Hebrews 5:8f) and did not know certain information (like when he was returning, Mark 13:32), and at times was surprised (Matthew 8:10).
Jan 4, 2022 · God does not get tired or thirsty, but Jesus did (John 4:6; 19:28). God knows all things, but it seems that, at least once, Jesus voluntarily surrendered the use of His omniscience (Matthew 24:36). Other times, Jesus’ omniscience was on full display (Luke 6:8; John 13:11; 18:4).
This lesson delves into the incarnation of Jesus, explaining his dual nature as both God and man during his earthly mission, supported by Old Testament, Gospel, and epistle references. It acknowledges the complexity of his divinity and humanity, even after his ascension.
It’s not that Jesus wants to give you purpose. It’s not that Jesus wants to elevate you in your job. It’s not that Jesus wants you to be happy. It’s not that Jesus wants you to be wealthy. The message of Christianity is that the Lord offers you eternal life, forgiveness of sin and eternal life in heaven.
