To: Salvation
But why did the Lord’s soul not shine through perfectly before the resurrection? Why did He suffer fatigue? Why could He not appear and disappear at will? I think He could. There's at least one passage that mentions that Jesus was out in the middle of a sea and then, instantly, he was on the other shore.
I'm not sure where it is, but it's in there somewhere.

Why could He not appear and disappear at will?Because before His death and resurrection, Jesus did not act according to His own will, but in accordance with His Father's will (Phil. 2, among others). For example, His Father would tell Him to walk on the water, and give Him the authority over the water to do this. After the resurrection, Christ (re)gained all authority in heaven and on earth, and so could act miraculously at will.

Then there was the Transfiguration too. Jesus could do what he wanted to do, such as he saw was appropriate at the time.
