Jesus Is God - Matthew 11:27

Post by Wootah »

27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
If Jesus knows the Father then Jesus is God, because how can less than God know the Father.

Does Jesus know the Father?
Proverbs 18:17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

The scripture tells how can he know, "All things have been committed to me by my Father". In similar way we can know the Father, by Jesus revealing him.

That means the universe has been given to Jesus to rule.

Yes, but we must not forget that God is still the highest:

For, "He put all things in subjection under his feet." But when he says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that he is ex-cepted who subjected all things to him. When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subject-ed to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
1 Cor. 15:27-28
for the Father is greater than I (Jesus).
John 14:28
...the head of Christ is God.
1 Cor. 11:3

So if God the Father is higher can Jesus know the Father fully?

If Father has let Jesus to know Him fully. It is interesting that Bible says about knowing God:

He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:8
We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
1 John 4:16
