Knowledge in Christ

As God, Christ has all knowledge. As man, he has allthe human perfections, including a human mind with its human or created knowledge.

Christ as man has the knowledge that the blessed souls enjoy in heaven, that is, the knowledge of God directly seen inbeatific vision.

The beatific knowledge of Christ as beheld in the vision is joined in Christ as man with all possible creaturalknowledge. For the human nature of Christ, because it is joinedhypostatically with the divine Nature, has to be perfect in all respects. Therefore, as Scripture testifies (Col. 2:3), in Christ are “all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

In Christ as man there is beatific knowledge,and the fullness of infused knowledge. There is also acquired knowledge in Christ as man, for he is perfect inhis human nature, and the human faculties of that nature functioned in him perfectly. Hence, even though he has perfect knowledge to begin with, he also, during his earthly fife, learned things in a human way.
