One question. How old do you think Jesus was when he first knew that he was the Son of God? We know that he knew this at least when he was twelve, when he was teaching in the temple, and his parents came looking for him, he asked them, "Didn't you know that I had to be in my father's house?" (Luke 2:49) Do you think that he just always knew? I think that Jesus had to learn things just as we did. He had to grow spiritually just like we do. He probably began his relationship with his father very early. Probably soon after he began to understand the scriptures that he heard in the temples, and that his parents passed down to him. Jesus didn't have to have a voice telling him that he was the Son of God. He knew, because he grew up in relationship with God. I could be wrong. We have to remember that Jesus was in heaven with God even before the world began (John 1:1,2). Did he carry this knowledge into the world with his spirit? Here is my theory, but not necessarily the correct answer. God just revealed things to him as he grew in knowledge as we do. He had revelations, just like we did. The thing is, that he was just a whole lot closer to God, and a whole lot soon than we were at twelve. Because of this, he had many more revelations before twelve than we did. Why was he closer to God? He was God, and it was his nature to be obedient to himself. How else can it be explained?
