| Jesus had to follow his Father's instructions. One of the ways he knew what his Father wanted from him, is that he prayed to Him daily. He ask God his Father questions and waited in His presence for the answers. Jesus went to church (the Synagogue and he read the Scriptures. He followed His Father and then he asks us to do the same. We are to do what he did. |  |
We all know that Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God. And since God is all-powerful and all-knowing, many Christians believe that Jesus was also omniscient like Him, which means He knows everything, including the future. But what most people don’t realize is that although He was divine, Jesus didn’t possess unlimited knowledge.
There were certain events in the Bible proving that Jesus’ human knowledge is limited. In the age of 12, Jesus was found in the temple listening to what was being taught by the teachers and asking them questions (Luke 2:46). He also had to learn obedience(Hebrews 5:8), grow in wisdom and stature (Luke 2:52), and rely on the Father in all things. Just like us, Jesus also had to learn everything that other people have to learn.
There’s also one interesting story in the Bible showing the limited knowledge of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Mark reveals that when Jesus was hungry and saw a fig tree, He went to it to see if perhaps He would find anything on it; but when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, since it was not the season for figs (Mark 11:12-13). With these verses alone, we could confirm that Jesus’ knowledge is really limited. Because if he is truly filled in wisdom, why would He mistakenly expected the tree to have fruits? Jesus didn't know who touched the hem of his garment but he knew virtue went out of him...somebody touched him
Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father making intercession for you and I. That means he is praying for us. He still doesn't know everything such as when he is returning. Jesus is waiting on the Father to tell him what and when.
We are supposed to be like Jesus. We are all man/woman but divinity can now live on the inside of us. We can talk with God everyday. The Holy Spirit that Jesus sent went he returned to God can now live inside of each born-again believer. We are at a great advantage because of what Jesus did for us.
We don't have to know everything either. We just have to know God!
