Subject: How can God (Jesus) increase in wisdom? |
Bible Note: Bob, You referenced John 1:1 in your question. What I'd like you to do is read and meditate on John 14 the whole chapter. Throughout that chapter Jesus explain's His position in relationship to God. Also read John 12:49, 13:3. But one of the most vivid verses for me, which shows the relationship of God and Jesus is in Matt. 20:23, where the mother of Zebedee's sons ask Jesus to let her children sit on His left and right hand side when they get to heaven. Jesus tells them Matthew 20:23 "...but to sit on My right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father." If Christ, having returned to heaven, tells us that He does not have the authority to decide who will sit on His right or His left, then how can they be One and the same? If they were both equal in Power and Authority, then do you think Christ would know who would sit where? |
