The thread title uses the present tense "DOES"? Jesus in his present position, now, at the right hand of power and authority, does indeed, NOW, know all things.
I agree with you fully that, in His humanity, Jesus did not know all things.
Jesus, although He was God, could not operate here legally, as God. He had to have a body to exercise authority in the Earth. He had to lay aside His divinity, and operate as a man, born of a woman, (
Lk 1:35) anointed of the Holy Ghost, (Matt 3:16) and He stood in the office of a prophet. (
Lk 4:24) He also operated in all the gifts of the Spirit. That's how, at times, He knew things that others did not know.
God could not save mankind, as God, because He had given "
dominion over all the Earth", to mankind. Therefore God the Father, had to make Himself a body, and
"provide Himself a Lamb for a burnt offering:" (
Gen 22:8). And"...
therefore mine own arm brought salvation..."(
Isa 63:5)
Jesus always called Himself "the son of man". The devils tried to call him the "Son of God", and He told them to shut up! He never did
anything, during His earth life here, using His "Son of God" authority. He did
all those signs wonders and miracles, as the "Son of man". (
John 5:27)
In other words, He ministered on earth, exactly like we should today, After all, we are His body here on Earth.
