What does it mean that Jesus grew in wisdom and stature?

Answered in 1 source

This phrase highlights the humanity of Jesus, indicating His progression in human experience while being fully divine.

In Luke 2:52, it is stated that Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. This speaks to the true humanity of Christ, emphasizing that although He is fully divine, He also experienced human growth and development. In His humanity, He learned, grew physically, and interacted socially, just like any other human being. This growth is essential for understanding the nature of redemption because through His life, He fulfilled all righteousness on behalf of those He came to save. Thus, His human experience validates that He is relatable to us in our struggles and temptations, yet without sin, demonstrating the perfect life that we could not achieve.
