Description
Excerpt from The Boyhood Consciousness of Christ: A Critical Examination of Luke II. 49
In these questions of Christology the ultimate determinant, the final test to which every student must come, is Christ''s own mind as expressed in His words and in His manner of acting; everything that He says or does, either directly or indirectly to reveal His self-consciousness, is of the first importance; whatever be the method pursued in attempting a solution of a christological problem, one cannot evade the query, What did He say about Him self? Then, closely connected with the questions of His self consciousness is that of its origin. When and how did it begin? Did He possess it from His earliest years? Or was there for Him, as for every normal child, a gradual unfolding of reason and of the consciousness of His relation to God? Or was it only in mature manhood, when on the threshold of His public career, that the consciousness of His mission and all that it implied ?ashed upon Him? Or was its coming rather like that of dawning day, at first dim, then steadily growing into fulness of light and culminating in the brilliant clarity of the noonday?
