Bible Question:
Reading John1:14 having trouble understanding Jesus presents himself as Son of God, implying His divine nature is unique as compared with human beings created by him. The verse I believe that says this is We have seen his glory the glory as of a father only son full of grace and truth. . Thanks |
Bible Answer: Hi sweet, I would have you compare John 1:14 with Genesis 1:26 to see that Jesus came in the form of God. He came in the likeness of men but He was the Son of God. He was a Man; and that was His uniqueness from other human beings. Genesis 1:26, "Then (God) said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to *Our likeness." God's likeness when He came to earth is that of a Man. But we are not gods but mere men as we walk this earth. John 1:12, "But as many as received Him,/ to them He gave the right to become children [sons and daughters, lower case] of God, even to those who believe in (His) name, who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld *His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." The Word became flesh----in Our image, Genesis 1:26 And we beheld *His glory----according to *Our likeness, Genesis 1:26 We beheld His glory according to what we can bear to see of Him, that is, as a Man. As the Son of God. But no one has seen God at any time. John 1:14, "and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father----John 1:18, "No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten God, [marginal note, Some later mss. read Son] who is in the bosom of the Father, He/ has explained Him." Luke 24:27, "And beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He/ explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures." From the heart, Ray |
