I would like to propose that the Christian has another information source and processing basis then the senses and facts. The scripture above says that the Spirit of the LORD would rest upon him (Jesus). We have this same Spirit IN us to guide us to all truth.
(1 John 2:20 NIV) "But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth."
(John 16:13 NIV) "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come."
What the Christian has is the Spirit of God. We are taught to live by that Spirit. This means that we have to incorporate the Spirit of God in our decision making process since it is one of the most important aspects of our lives. We don’t have to judge by what we see, hear, understand, or the plain facts. We can judge rightly by listening to what the Spirit of God says. I don’t believe that the Holy Spirit tells us the answer to every decision that we face because that would negate the necessity for knowledge, understanding, and wisdom which the Bible teaches much about. We should incorporate the knowledge and insight of the Holy Spirit in our lives since He lives in us (Christians).
