Subject: Jesus know all things why marvelled? |
Bible Note: Hello, Johnny. In my post ID #61821 I attempted to answer your original question on this topic, but you are apparently not satisfied with it or the other answers you received before. In post #61821 I suggested kenosis, a reference to the "emptying" of the Son in the Incarnation (See Phil.2:7). This kenosis refers to Jesus' temporary and voluntary giving up of certain divine attributes while He was on the earth..... You have a question regarding Matt.24:36. and ask about the omniscience of Christ. That Christ, in His humiliation (incarnation), was not aware of the time of his second coming is not a denial of His deity, but an evidence of His functional subordination and temporary surrender of certain attributes while living a life of faith and dependence upon the Father. This is what is meant by kenosis. But this kenosis ended with the Risen Christ who now sits on the right hand of God in heaven. Johnny, I do hope this expansion of my former post serves to shed some light on your questions and concerns. I have no further information to offer and no other exegesis of these passages of Scripture. --Hank |
