Hobbit said:Jesus wanted the full experience. He wished to become man to see what it was like to become man, and to get the full experience, he had to get born and grow up. Remember, he was 30 when his minitry started, and that means at least 15 years of being a carpenter before that. If the whole point was just to preach for three years and then die, he could have come as a fully grown human and only stay for three years.
I disagree. Christ knew what it was like for men before He was born. I mean He was God prior to His birth and God knows everything.
He condescended below all things and experienced mortality to show mortals the path which they should walk. He suffered all things and descended below them all so that He could lift everyone up with Him. There is not one person on earth who can say to Christ that He has no clue what they are going through. He has suffered it all and more and anyone who knows Him will know that.
He suffered all things so He could succor His people in their infirmities.
