To Deny Jesus Power is to Deny Jesus

It has been stated that while Jesus was on earth in the flesh that “He learned everything he learned from his parents.”. Jesus being both God and man could live like man at the same time demonstrate power above what man could know or do.
In every dispensation time, God has always admonished children to obey their parents.  This principle was in force while Jesus lived under the law and under Joseph and Mary.  However, when Jesus was twelve years old, he went into the temple and was heard “sitting in the midst of the doctors, bouth hearing them and asking them questions”
Luke 2:46-4946 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” 49 And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?”


Luke 2:5050 And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them.
It was a natural reaction upon not knowing where Jesus was for them to be worried or sorrowful.  He had been a son to them in the flesh and they expected concern and respect from him as a natural thing.  The thing that was different was that He was more than just a son.  He was more than just a man.  Being God,  he could demonstrate things they did not understand for they did not understanting the saying “I mus be about my Father’s business.” Luke 2:50.
They were no doubt his teachers from a fleshly standpoint, but the fact that they were “amazed” at things he knew and said showed that he was God at this point.
Luke 2:4848 And when his parents saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.”
Who will be the first to say that Jesus sinned in the temple when his parents knew not where he was and what he was doing?
As Jesus himself said:
John 8:4646 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
