Jesus Was Filled With Wisdom

And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him. (Luke 2:40 ESV)



How did Jesus “grow?” He would have grown by being fed regular meals, getting regular exercise through activity, and getting regular sleep. If these things would not have happened, Jesus would not have grown and became strong. You mean the Son of God had to eat, exercise and sleep in order to become strong–yes.



How did Jesus become “wise?” The text says that he was filled. This is something done to him, not by him. He was filled by a filler. And who do you suppose that filler was?



If the sinless Son of God needed to be taught wisdom through the means of his parents and his church, then how much more do yours and my children need filling?



People who do not grant their children the proper food, exercise, and sleep that they require end up going to jail for child endangerment. What becomes of the parent who neglects to fill their children with the wisdom that they require?
