Who is Jesus' God?
Who is Jesus' God?
Here is the summarized answer:
As who? God himself or as Human?
Jesus [also known as "the Word" prior to his incarnation] is OF the triune Godhead from eternity. He along with the Father and Holy Spirit ALWAYS existed. After creating the world (and at the right time)...The Word came to earth and "took on" human flesh, [born through a woman], in order to be the Savior because God calls for mans blood [everything points to Calvary] and wrath to fall on someone [see OT sacrifices "shadow example"] but the real deal had to be human. Thus God put on flesh and became a man. The perfect sinless man. The 2nd Adam. To be the propitiation for our sins.
The 3 are equal and of the same essence and nature [perfect]. However "in the plan of redemption", because Jesus was sent from God and put on human flesh [became the GodMan> 100% God and 100% human] he therefore "had to submit in his humanity" to the Father -and humbly did so as a Son of God [sent forth by the father (which also illustrates the OT & NT ways in which the Son of a family was the representative for the Father in all matters- see the parable of the vineyard example]. These are how he is Son and Savior and subject to the Father fully obedient to do the work he was sent to do... and did. Thus his perfect life, and death finished the work was completed...so man could be saved. His resurrection proved that death had no hold on him for he never sinned. He secured salvation for all who ever believed and ever will.
He took our place and we took his. Thus we "put on the Lord Jesus Christ" and are "clothed His righteousness". When God sees us He sees his Son. Recall the shadow example of the Exodus Passover? The OT has many shadows and symbolism pointing to Jesus.
When we pray to God the Father we do so as created humans. Jesus in the flesh also "prayed" to the Father, while on earth. Fact: He communicated with Him in eternity past just as he did in his humanity, just not in subjigation. The trinity all have a role in man's redemption and all do a different work for it. You can see it if you do a NT study on that topic. 🙂
Today believers pray to the Father through Jesus our Savior [the mediator between God and man]. That's why we end our prayers "In Jesus Name. Amen". 🙂
