Subject: How can God (Jesus) increase in wisdom? |
Bible Note: Hello bob r. Christ can increase in wisdom because He took on flesh and blood. Jesus as fully God and fully man had to enter into all those things that are human. Hebrews 2:17 (ESV) Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. Note: "made like his brothers in every respect". And-- Hebrews 5:8 (ESV) Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. The knowledge and wisdom must have been experiental in His earthly walk. Steve |
