When in Matthew 24:36Jesus says that not even the Son knows the time of Jesus’s return, I take him to mean that the Son — Jesus Christ, considered in his human nature — operates with a kind of limitation.

In between those two statements, you have this famous phrase “he emptied himself.” What does that mean? I don’t think it means that Christ, in his divine nature, became less than fully divine.

His one person has both an infinite, divine mind and a finite, human mind.
The great truth revealed in the New Testament is that the eternal God became one of us, He became a human being. John wrote, And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14 NRSV)
