How Is Jesus Similar
somewhat similar yet carry some differences. The same is true spiritually. God and Jesus are one and yet are different in some areas. They are the same in:
a) reputation: they are both hated as Jesus reported in John 15:24;
b) resemblance: the Son is “the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person…” (Heb. 1:3).
c) character: “who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth” (I Peter 2:22).
d) title: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” John 1:1. “But unto the Son, he saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom.” (Hebrews 1:8).
e) nature: “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?”(John …show more content…
4:15).
e) headship: “…the head of Christ is God.” (I Cor. 11:3)
f) authority: only God the Father has original authority. Everyone else is sent or has delegated authority. God commissioned His Son. His Son commissioned the disciples or apostles. “As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.”( John 17:18).
g) might: Jesus is referred to as Mighty God. “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6).
But his Father is called The Almighty as reported by Isaiah and Joel, “…for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.” (Isaiah 13:6; Joel 1:15). John in Revelation did the same. “And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and to come.” (Rev. 4:8; 11:17; 16:5, …show more content…
It is true that Jesus is often called Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending. However, in this particular verse, John is talking about God the Father. He is the only one that has always existed through eternity i.e. which was, and is, and is to come. Moses captured that very well in Psa. 90:2 “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art
