we're 'made a little lower than the angels' too ((Ps. 8:5)) -- yet we will be their judges ((1 Cor. 6:3))
IMO this is speaking positionally, not ontologically. He was born under the law ((Gal. 4:4)) and the law was administered by angels ((Acts 7:53)) - so in being born in the flesh, He humbled Himself and was made positionally lower than them, subject to authority, a servant ((Matt. 20:28))

that would just be indicative of His human brain, not necessarily His mind. not categorically of Him; His being
these bodies are like vehicles, which our souls drive. they have break-in periods, and they have need of repair, but they are not the sum of who we are.
i may see someone driving a car with burnt-out lights and broken suspension -- but the driver herself is whole, and fit.
i may see someone handicapped and disabled, but their vehicle is brand-new and top-of-the-line.
so the way i look at this, is that the man Jesus grew, wisely and honorably, in His flesh - yet never without the fullness of the Godhead dwelling in Him bodily.
He set aside His glory, which He has had eternally, at the right hand of the Father, and humbled Himself, coming meekly to dwell among us and call out a Bride. meekness does not indicate lack of power - it indicates that one indeed does have power, but restrains themselves.

brothers, sometimes we are 'them'
we think He was ignorant and worried. we look at Him on the cross and think He is confused, delirious, doubting and frightened, to be pitied and felt sorry for, rather than held in awe

When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.
(James 1:13-14)
- God cannot be tempted
- God does not tempt
- temptation is the enticing of one's own evil desires a.k.a. lusts
