Too many christians still find it hard to know who Jesus Christ is. He was Jesus on earth here, but not Jesus in Heaven. According to 1 John 5:7, "For there are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
Can you see that God Almighty gave birth to the Word and this is why John 3:16 makes it clear that ...He gave His only Son (Word). Also, Matthew 3:17 says, "And lo a voice from Heaven, saying, 'This is my beloved Son (Word), in whom I am well pleased.'"
It was by this Word He made the heavens and the earth, and by this Word Mary conceived. The Word manifested in flesh and that is Jesus.
NOTE: Only as a God can He save man; only as a man can He die.
Any questions?!!!!
