“Intelligence” is one of the gods of our age.
Our culture greatly reverences (worships?) the intelligence quotient...
Therefore, Jesus had to have the highest....right???
Can we safely assume, too, that Jesus would have been the Star Quarterback on the football team, a match Michael Jordan couldn’t handle on the B-ball court, and Lord know that Tiger Woods has read each and every Moses, Jesus, and Father were playing golf jokes, so he’d be best at that, too?
B-D and Tax-chick hit it, I think. Jesus was bright enough to be FAITHFUL. You don’t need a calculator to do that.
I think that nails it. His knowledge & wisdom were perfect for the work He came to do.
Yes, intelligence and schooling have taken the place of wisdom, obedience, and experience.
Formation of the intellect, in Christian tradition, has the purpose of enabling us to accurately identify God's will for us, so that we can direct our wills to accomplishing His will. "To know the God so we can pursue the Good," as it were.
