our listeners named Austin. My question is, when Jesus was born, did he have his full brain, you know brain capabilities and knowledge as he would as an adult?

Or did his brain functionality and wisdom grow as a normal human would?

Or was he just laying there as a baby with full-on, you know, adult brain function,

solid.

Anyway, thank you guys.

Yeah, was he just like genius baby?

And, well, no, I don't think so.

And actually, there's a verse in scripture that makes that absolutely clear in Luke chapter 2 in verse 52.

This is right after the scene where Jesus is in the temple

and he is, you know, wowing everybody there in the temple's parents are looking for him. But

verse 52 says Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man. So we have to understand, God, the son, the eternal son of the

father, the word became flesh, was made flesh, took flesh from the womb of the Virgin Mary

so that he might grow in that flesh, in that humanity, if you will. And I think with that you have cognitive growth, the growth of cognitive abilities.

And I think that's what's being spoken of there in Luke chapter 2, verse 52.
