Luke 2 - How could Messiah increase in favor with the heavenly Father? 2017

Luke 2:52
And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

Yeshua grew in wisdom and stature as well as growing in favor (Gr.-charis grace) with Elohim and men. How could He increase in favor with Elohim? As He progressed in age, He was coming closer to His destination as Redeemer of Israel.
