God is Jesus
Section I

God is JESUS and Jesus is 100% man too – a unique personality – not a split personality. He has always existed as the Word, the word of God. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. – 1 Tim 3:16.

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He (Jesus) hath declared Him (God). – John 1:18. For in Him (Jesus) dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. – Col 2:9. Who (Jesus) being the brightness of His (God’s) glory, and the express image of His (God’s) person. – Heb 1:3.

The very title Christ expresses Jesus’s divinity. Peter, John, Thomas, and Paul acknowledge the divinity of Jesus Christ.

Those who deny the divinity of Jesus Christ are blasphemers.

The Son of God (as Man and the express image of God), emptied Himself (Phil 2:7 ESV and Thamizh) voluntarily to take on sinful flesh in order to live among men. – Rom 8:3. In His flesh, He set aside His original glory to stay in one place, be tempted, and face death (obviously, a natural human body can’t be everywhere, shut down the senses, and live forever). He grew up, was hungry and thirsty, ingested and digested food and egested, sweated, washed, dressed, slept (with a pillow!), felt pain, and wept. He had a sense of humor, wept, and also spoke sarcastically at times.

As man, Jesus was tempted all His life (not just at the beginning of His ministry – Scriptures say that Satan left Him for a season in that context. The Devil was keeping vigil at close quarters by possessing Judas now and again and even Peter momentarily). For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted. – Heb 2:18. He was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. – Heb 4:15. He knows our weaknesses and our frailty. He can empathize, not standing afar to sympathize. A Great High Priest to plead and intercede for us indeed!

When Jesus prayed to God while here on earth, He was praying in His humanity (thus demonstrating how mankind can relate to God as their Father), and when He performed miracles, He did that with the power of the Holy Spirit who dwelt on Him. As man, He lived a life of submission – totally submitting His will and doing the will of His Father all along – He did no sin - 1Pet 2:22. The Holy Spirit of God enabled Him to do this. As man, He obeyed His Father humbling Himself, until His shameful death on the cross. As man, He prayed to His Father to forgive those who crucified Him; As man, He had the power to forgive sins on earth too. As man, He had the power from God to lay down His life and take it back again. I lay down My life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. – Jn 10:17, 18. As man, He died on the cross and as man, He was raised up from the dead on the third day, conquering death for the sake of the whole of mankind.

Those who deny the humanity of Jesus Christ are antichrists.

Because of His unique personality and position in the Godhead, Jesus Christ is the perfect mediator between God and man – 1 Tim 2:5. He is God and He has been a man and continues to be a man, now with the original glory restored. He is called the Son of God; A son is the closest relationship mankind can relate to in human terms. A son reflects the complete characteristics of a father, holds his name and position, and is recognized as a father’s perfect representative; so it is with the Son. That is why He declared plainly, “I and my Father are One”.

Post His resurrection, the Lord Jesus Christ assumed a supernatural glorious body. In this blood-free body of flesh and bones, He could enter closed rooms and even eat. He is still Man with the same body seated at the right hand of the Majesty in glory. – 1 Tim 2:5. We will see Him at His coming.
