Bible Question:
I took your advice Ed, and read John 10 I seem to "Be the first to leave a note or question about this verse" about a lot of verses eh? :) Now I ask you, Does not Jesus say in John 10:29 Again, that the Father is greater than all? Shouldn't we believe Jesus? and does not John 10:9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[1] He will come in and go out, and find pasture. say that he is the gate, meaning he is the means to reach God (The Father), but not the end? |
Bible Answer: Isa, Because Jesus was a man, the Father was greater and as a man he was in a lower position. -He was "made for a little while lower than the angels" (Heb 2:9). -Jesus "emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men" (Phi 2:5-8). -He had added to Himself human nature (Col. 2:9). Jesus has two natures. Jesus never denied that He was God. Here He was merely acknowledging the fact that He was also a man. Jesus is both God and man. As a man, he was in a lesser position than the Father. He became a man to die for people. Steve |
