In D&C 93 we learn of Christ receiving grace for grace, not having a fullness at first. Do we know when he gained that fullness? Or in other words, when he realized he was the Christ, Jehovah, the Lord Omnipotent?

Justin,

We are not provided with any information pertaining to the moment in time the Lord realized he ultimate purpose as the Son of Man; however, in scripture we are provided evidence that the Lord may have known very early on in his life.

In Luke 2:49, we read, “And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?”

When the Lord spoke these words even his mother and Joseph did not understand the words he spake. This verse at least provides us with insight that our Savior knew who his Father was, and that he should be about his Father’s business.

Beyond this, I believe that any other thoughts would lend toward speculation…at best.
