WHO IS JESUS? In his prayer before his death, Jesus said to his Father: “This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.” (John 17:3) Here Jesus recognizes his Father as the only true God, Supreme Being, and that he himself, instead of being any part of that only true Supreme Being, was sent by that Supreme Being. This is in harmony with John 3:16,17: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him,” as well as many other scriptures. In the immediate response to the accusation made by the Jewish leaders, Jesus responded: “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods?’ If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken), Do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’ ” (John 10:34-36) Again, instead of claiming to God Almighty, Jesus very clearly clarified that he was sent by God, his Father, Yahweh, and that he was the Son of God — not God Almighty Himself.( Jesus.rlbible)
