There is no limit to what God can do! The only other question is whether Jesus is God. According to the Scriptures, He is. According to Titus 2:13 we're to be "Looking for the blessed hope and appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ." That's more than plain. Jesus is God!

In Jeremiah's prayer to God for a better understanding for what they were going through, He prepped his petition by telling God, "You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power... there's nothing too hard for you" (Jeremiah 32:17). God answered the prophet with, "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?" (vs 27)

Here it is: Can God submit Himself even to the measure of a newborn and still be God? According to the prophet Jeremiah, there's nothing too hard for God. According to Paul, 'Jesus was in the form of God, but MADE HIMSELF of no reputation and took the form of a bondservant, and came here in the likeness of man' (Philippians 4:6,7). Then after He became a man, He humbled Himself... even to His death on the Cross. (vs 8).

Here it is: He emptied Himself of His reputation. He took the form that He had. He humbled Himself. He went willingly to the Cross.

It sounds like what we refer to as a "One Man Operation."

Can God be an infant and still be God? Can He go through the process of waiting to mature as a human, being God the whole time? That's exactly what Jesus did! He was human from birth to death. He is God from eternity.
