49. Was baby Jesus an ordinary baby, or did he know all things?

It is difficult if not impossible to comprehend the union of the divine and the human in Christ's nature. He could not have been an ordinary babe, as the divine nature must have been potent in him even in infancy.

But that he knew all things in the sense of secular knowledge cannot be believed. In fact Luke says explicitly (Luke 2:52) that he increased in wisdom.

Even after he commenced his ministry he admitted that he did not know all things (Mark 13:32). His divinity must have been restrict­ed by its fleshly environment.
