omniscience of God the Son in Matthew 24:36

score:1

You have hit on one of the central wonders of the incarnation of God as a human.

When God the Son took on human form, he voluntarily gave up some of his godly abilities. He specifically renounced much of his powers and knowledge, instead choosing to rely on God the Father. This is shown in other places - for example he does not say "I can summon twelve legions of angels" but "I can ask my father and he will send twelve legions of angels".

Jesus wants to demonstrate for us a life of faith in relationship with the Father. Faith is not possible if you have total and complete knowledge and power (St. Paul writes that), so it is necessary for him to give that up to be the example.
