Did Jesus know that we would be created through Him?

[Computer8]

Sorry if this is a silly question or if I’ve misunderstood scripture.

When Jesus was on Earth, did He know, before, that dying (sinless) on the cross, that all things (including humans) would be created/come into existence through Him?

I guess that because Jesus is God, He did know. But would Jesus’ human nature have affected His knowledge of us coming into being?

 

[marty1818]

Jesus is God, so he knows all. Jesus is also fully man and fully God so his human nature would not have an effect on his knowledge.

Sorry if this is a silly question or if I’ve misunderstood scripture.

Was there a specific scripture passage you read that brought up this question? Just wondering.

Good morning Computer8,

Here are just a few answers to your question from the Bible:

1. By His own words Jesus preexisted the patriarchs:
   
   JOHN 8:57-58 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
2. Jesus was there from the beginning and is also known as the creator “made by him”, “Word”, and as “light”
   
   JOHN 1:1-4 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Please continue reading through to JOHN 1:14 for your own pleasure.

Hope you get many delightful answers and that you have a great Lord’s day.

Jesus did not know everything while on earth. Cf. Summa Theologica III-ii, Q. 12, art. 2.

He definitely knew that he was God, however, since He told people as such. But what he knew, he learned by revelation; not by inherently knowing.
