Shlama Khulkon:
Luke 2:52 is referring to Jesus early life of which we have no record except the statement from Luke.
"But Jesus increased in his stature, and in his wisdom, and in "favour/grace" with Alaha and men."
stature means to grow in height as well as to acquire a stamding. It has the same lexeme "qum" as standing as in baptism. Same root/lexeme.
favour/grace with Alaha and with men points to his acceptance within the community of Alaha. He was seen by men as a godly man. Anyone that is in the favour of Alaha has this standing as well as the affirmation of the Holy Spirit. Remember, Christ was flesh and blood and bone like any other man. Alaha sent Christ, the WORD of Alaha, as His own personal messenger, called by Elohim as the Messenger of the Covenant. (Malachi 3:2
Indeed this is very much beyond the work of a man. It's the work of Alaha. When compared with all other scripture one should see the harmony being shown here.
Alex, if this is all that you were looking for I am glad to put it in a much simpler form so that we can be on the same page. To proclaim that Christ is the WORD of Alaha, or to say, "Alaha sent His Son as messenger of the Covenant are equivalent exptessions. As to how and the mystery of the incarnation of Christ and the Virgin birth, one can accept this by faith in the Living Word of Alaha. It is by faith in Christ that we have our being and our eternal peace. If Christ was not Alaha he would not have been resurrected by the Spirit of the Father. This faith is the Foundation, the "even pina", "corner-stone" of the Christian faith. There is no other name under heaven whereby we must be saved, the name of Jesus Christ. Christ's name is not just what his mother called him when dinner was ready but the entire embodiment of Alaha the WORD, in the flesh.
