Jesus never stopped being God
And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man. ~ Luke 2:52 ESV
Jesus did not stop being God or give up His divine attributes when He became man. Instead, He took on a human nature—an addition rather than a subtraction—and willingly submitted the use of His divine attributes to the Father’s will (John 5:19, 30; 8:28; Philippians 2:5-8). As a result, there were moments when His omniscience was evident (Matthew 9:4; John 2:24-25; 4:17-18; 11:11-14; 16:30) and other times when it was intentionally veiled by His humanity in accordance with the Father’s will (Mark 13:32).
Luke 2:52 states, “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” This verse does not deny Jesus’ divinity but instead highlights His humanity. The Bible teaches that Jesus is fully God and fully man (John 1:1, Colossians 2:9), and in His earthly life, He willingly took on human limitations (Philippians 2:6-8). His growth in wisdom demonstrates that He experienced human development, learning as He matured, just as any human would. This does not contradict His divine nature but rather affirms the mystery of the Incarnation—God the Son taking on human flesh. His increasing favor with God reflects His perfect obedience to the Father’s will, showing that as the Messiah, He lived in complete righteousness. Therefore, rather than denying His deity, Luke 2:52 underscores the reality that Jesus, while fully God, also lived as a true human, growing in wisdom and favor as part of His earthly mission.
Consequently, Christ experienced the natural process of human growth—intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially.

You Need to Know the Bible for Yourself
Everybody needs to know what the Bible really says: what it says about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, salvation and eternity, etc. Don’t depend on what a church or some famous preacher tells you. If you depend on Hollywood, the History Channel, or a magazine for the most important information you will ever need to know. You may end up lost forever not knowing what God has written down for you. He wants you to spend eternity with Him.
You need to know Jesus before you can be saved. The bible is all about who Jesus is and what He has done for you. He has a gift for you and it is completely free. But if you don’t know Him, you will not be in the Kingdom of God with Jesus who gave His very life for you.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ ~ Matthew 7:21-23
There is an absurd amount of very bad information out in the world today about the Bible. You will only know the truth if you study the bible for yourself. And if you study the bible and ask The Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth He will and it will change your life forever.
