Who is Jesus?

Wednesday, March 13, 2019
Was Jesus actually God in the flesh?  Is the trinity a true, factual idea? Or was Jesus created by God, and is He indeed His Son, like I am my dad's son?  Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Family Facts

Dear Family Facts,

Jesus is God.  Jhn 1:1-3 and Jhn 1:14 say that Jesus is God.  Col 1:15-17 says that all things were created by Jesus… which means Jesus wasn’t created.  We often say that there is only one God… but technically, that is not the complete story.  There are three Gods in the Godhead, and They all work together in perfect unity.  Jesus is God (Matt 28:9), the Father is God (2 Thess 1:2), and the Holy Spirit is God (Gen 1:2).  The word ‘God’ just means ‘deity’.  Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are all deity.  They function with complete unity (Jhn 10:30), but They are separate Beings.  Jesus emptied Himself and became a human (Php 2:4-8).  Jesus is God’s son because He was miraculously born (Matt 1:18), because the Father raised Him from the dead (Acts 13:33), and because Jesus obeyed Him as a Son (Jhn 8:28).  It is that unique honor and connection that creates the Father-and-Son relationship between these two members of the Godhead.   SB
