Bible Question:
Does Jesus deny His deity? Note, I believe in His diety. |
Bible Answer: Steve I think the following best explains Jesus' feelings and thoughts. John 13:3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under His power, and that He had come from God and was returning to God; This defines the true relationship of a Father and Son in complete unity or one-ness, with the Son have full respect,love and humility for the Father. And the Father having the same for the Son. Humility is a word that stands out very loudly in this question. Jesus' humility towards God is demonstrated here. Jesus recognized that God was the source of all who Jesus is and would be. Brian |
