Jesus must be viewed as God by virtue of the facts that He has the names of God, the attributes of God, and the authority of God; He does the works of God; and He is worshiped as God. Our triune God is an awesome God!
Does it really matter whether or not we believe that Jesus is God? Yes! If one places faith in a false Christ, one that is not described in Scripture, then can this false Christ save them? In today’s culture there are people teaching that Jesus was a created being.
What are we to make of Jesus’s statement in John 14:28 that “My Father is greater than I”? Simply put, in His humanity, Christ is lesser than God the Father; but in His deity, He is equal.
Jesus Christ has been actively involved in the world from the very beginning. So the question arises, “Do we see Jesus anywhere in Genesis?” Yes! These pre-incarnate appearances of Christ are called theophanies.
It is appropriate to pray to the Father directly; however, just because we are permitted to pray to the Father, doesn’t mean that we are not permitted to pray to the Son.
God has given us a means to behold His glory. But our ability to see clearly demands an unobstructed view through both God-given lenses.
