The only reason Jesus needed to be taught was that He had willingly
decided to limit His knowledge while being a man. Yet, He healed
people of diseases, walked on water, knew people's thoughts, calmed
the sea waves, killed a tree with a command, disappeared, and
forgave sins. He proved He was God by His actions.
Now Our Answer. So, why did Jesus say,
| |
But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of
heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. (NASB) Matt. 24:36 |
The Father had not revealed it to the man Jesus Christ. John 10:38
tells us the Father was in Jesus and Jesus was in the Father.
| |
. . . the Father is in Me, and I in the Father. (NASB) John 10:38 |
Yes, Jesus was deity. The Father and Christ were one and the same.
But as a man Jesus had willingly chosen to limit His knowledge
while living like a man. He was like a man in every other way.
He became hungry, slept, drank liquid, wept, and eventually died
on a cross for the sins of the world so that we could have peace
with God.
Conclusion: After Jesus' resurrection, He returned to heaven,
and rules. He is coming again some day. He is God! He calls us to trust
Him for the forgiveness of our sins. |
