When was Jesus aware that he wasn't like the rest of people?

Question

Or... in other words... did four year old Jesus already know he was different from the rest?

Answer 1

I think Jesus did not know for sure that he was human just like the rest of us until minutes before his death which is when he cried out in horrible pain, "Why hast thou abandoned me?" speaking directly to his creator. He thought like the rest of us that life would offer a physical redemption at the moment of most pain and suffering, but it was not that way for Jesus, and it will not be that way for many of us.
The end of life is most often humiliating, painful, and sorrowful. We go through the grief of a life time of faith that disappears at the end of life into nothing as if it never existed.
Or as I learn in English Literature way back in Jr. College and Mr. Walterbeck's class room, you die on your feet and fall face first and your false teeth rattle across the floor as a hundred set of eyes look on at your total collapse.

Answer 2

While we do not have a clear scripture revealing the thoughts of Jesus as a baby, we can at least discover from Scripture that as a young child He was well aware of His work. Jesus was preparing even as a boy to finish the work His Father sent Him to do. When His parents were concerned about His being missing on a trip to Jerusalem, they found Him in the temple "sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions." (Luke 2:46). When asked why He would disappear and worry them so, He told His parents: “’Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?’ But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.” (Luke 2:49-50). Joseph and Mary may not have understood, but Jesus certainly did understand at the age of twelve that He was the Son of God and that the Father had foreordained the work He was to do.

Answer 3

He might have known, but did not understand it all until John the Baptist revealed Him. The only reason John the Baptist was baptizing with water was to reveal to the world the One who would baptize with the Holy Spirit. That moment was as much a surprise to the master as was the student.

I also trust that Jesus was very humble and would not have thought of himself as any different than any other living person growing up. The God among us so loves the world.

Why would you personally distrust the living Spirit of God in the flesh? I pray that you have accepted Jesus Christ.

Answer 4

I asked this question to a theology teacher and he said that Jesus was aware of it from the beginning, nevertheless, it was progressively aware and fully aware at the end...
This is what makes Jesus so similar to us... we know we are different, but don´t know exactly how or why, we progressively learn and value or singularity that will be plenified or not since you reach the mysterious meaning of our lives wanted and loved by God.

Answer 5

Why do people keep suggesting that jesus created the world? If in fact you do believe in god, then surely you must know that god and jesus are not the same being. Also just because Protestants and catholics "reject" something, does not make it untrue.

Now to answer the question, we are all different and we realize it at different times, I think jesus realized he was not as powerful as he thought he was when he died, and DID NOT rise again.

Answer 6

Jesus is the Son of God.I do believe Jesus knew from first creation what he was here to do.That's an interesting thought.
Is anyone without fault and living in the perfect will according to God.That would be another large clue.

Answer 7

Jesus Christ is perfect God and perfect man in one person. He experienced the infirmities of man, He could get tired, hungry, thirsty, and He could weep.

Jesus Christ as God has always had the attributes of God... Omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience. But, until He became God manifest in flesh he had not "experienced" what it was like to live in a man's body. It is in this sense that He "grew in wisdom..." He also "learned obedience by the things which He suffered".

The one thing that set Him apart from the rest of men is that He did not have anything in Him that would respond to any temptation to sin. By virtue of His virgin birth He was born sinless. As man and God Jesus Christ was and is absolute sinless perfection.

Answer 8

There are a number of apocryphal myths which pretend to describe Jesus’ early years. The myths are recorded in some books referred to as The Infancy (2nd century), Infancy Story of Thomas (4th - 5th century), the Gospel of Psuedo-Matthew (8th - 9th century), and the Life of John (5th century). They claim to give us events that occurred in His early life. These books portray Jesus as abusing His divine power. These mythical events never occurred, and the books were written long after the death of Jesus.

These books have been rejected by both Protestants and the Roman Catholic Church as not being inspired scripture. Only the gospel of Luke gives us any clue about the early life of Jesus. Luke describes only one event in Jesus’ youth. It is his visit to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover when He was 12 years of age.

Answer 9

Jesus knew he was different before he left Heaven
and came to earth.
