Hebrews 4:15 – Sympathize
Question – In understanding omniscience, an interesting question is, “Is Some Knowledge Only Obtained Empirically?” Is it possible the Father “cannot sympathize with our weaknesses” (Hebrews 4:15)? Jesus can because he experienced humanity and was “tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). Apparently there is a difference in knowledge in understanding man that comes from being man rather than simply creating man. Jesus also learned obedience (Hebrews 5:8). Isn’t this learning by experience? And would not this verse, by implication, reach back before the incarnation to when Jesus submitted to the Father to become the Son of Man? This is my explanation of Luke 2:52. Wisdom is the proper use of knowledge. Some knowledge is empirical, such as living as a man.
