When you believe Jesus is God: who do you think is the mediator? #2 Firstborn from the dead our advocate

According to the Bible, no man can see the divine Creator, Who is an invisible Spirit Being, and live, though God’s invisible qualities might be seen in His wonder-works (the creation itself and actions He did and does).

20 And he will say, Thou shalt not be able to see my face: for none shall see my face, and live.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world, being understood by things made, are inspected, truly both his eternal power and divinity; so that they are inexcusable:

24 God a Spirit: and they worshipping him must worship in spirit and truth.

God can not be seen by man, but God’s son, like any other human being could be seen by other people. Him like us being created in the image of God came to the world to show the Works of God and to explain the Words of His prophets. That man given to the world by God is like a second Adam, the beginning of a new creation or new world, by the act Jesus did, giving his body as a ransom for all. For that reason we should show our thanks to Christ and to God, because God has sent us this son of man and accepted his offering.

12 Returning thanks to the Father, having rendered us fitting for the portion of the lot of the holy in light:
13 Who saved us from the power of darkness, and transferred into the kingdom of the Son of his love:
14 In whom we have redemption by his blood, the remission of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation:
16 For by him were all things created, things in the heavens, and things upon earth, things visible and invisible, whether thrones, whether dominions, whether beginnings, whether authorities: all were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all, and all things have been established by him.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that he might be the first in all.
19 For in him was he pleased that all fulness should dwell:
20 And by him to reconcile all things anew to himself; having made peace by the blood of his cross, by him, whether things upon earth, whether things in the heavens.
21 And you, once being alienated and enemies in mind by evil works, and now has he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh by death, to present you holy, and blameless, and irreproachable before him:
23 If indeed ye remain in the faith, founded and firmly fixed, and not moved aside from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, being proclaimed in all creation under heaven; of which I Paul was a servant;
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill again the necessities of the pressures of Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the church.
25 Of which I was a servant, according to the stewardship of God, given to me for you, to complete the word of God;
26 The mystery hid from times immemorial, and from generations, and now has been manifested to his holy ones:
27 To whom God would make known what the riches of the glory of this mystery in the nations; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we announce, reminding every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfected in Christ Jesus:
29 For which also I am wearied, struggling according to his operation, working in me in power.

Everything belongs to Jehovah God. Many sons of man could enjoy what God gave to the world. The only begotten beloved son, like all other human beings also has to give everything in the Hands of God. As promised in the Garden of Eden, there was going to be one who would put everything under his feet, though the sent one from God would be bruised, he would liberate mankind from the curse of death.

15 And I will put enmity between thee and between the woman, and between thy seed and between her seed; it shall lie in wait for thee as to the head, and thou shalt lie in wait for him as to the heel.

15 And ye killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead; of whom we are witnesses.
16 And by faith of his name, this, whom ye see and know, his name made firm, and faith which by him, gave him this completeness before you all.

22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 And each in his own order: the first fruit Christ; then they of Christ in his arrival.
24 Then the end, when he should deliver up the kingdom to God, and the Father; when he should leave unemployed every beginning and every authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy, death, is left unemployed.
27 For he subjected all things under his feet. And when he said that all things have been subjected, it is manifest that without him having subjected all things to him.
28 And when all things be subjected to him, then also shall the Son himself be subjected to him having made all things subject to him, that God might be all things in all.

It was that sent one from God, being in His image, who emptied himself, putting his own will aside whilst doing the Will of God presenting himself as a servant of God and a slave for man. In him everybody shall have to come to avow or to acknowledge or declare openly and unashamedly that Jesus is the son of God, and the Christ, our Saviour.

7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, born in the likeness of men:
8 And found in fashion as man, he humbled himself, being obedient until death, and the death of the cross {in the original text: torture stake}.
9 Wherefore God has also exceedingly exalted him, and favored him as a gift with a name above every name:
10 That in the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of the heavenlies, and of terrestrial things, and things under earth;
11 And every tongue should avow that the Lord is Jesus Christ, to the glory of the Father.

God Who has no birth and can not be tempted, has given the world His only begotten son. We should see how that man born out of a woman was tempted more than once, was betrayed, got to suffer a lot and was killed.

13 And having ended all the trial, the devil departed from him for a time.
14 And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee …

Real Christians are those who believe the words of that Nazarene man who was declared by God to be His only begotten beloved son (Luke3:21-23). Real Christians are those who come after Jesus, respecting him for what he has done and showing allegiance to him who was born, tempted, betrayed, killed and raised up the third day after his death. Real Christians are not ashamed to confess their faith in him who died for our sins. People are requested to follow the son of man, Jesus Christ, but then they shall have to deny themselves like Jesus denied himself and did what God wanted. All people are called, because Christ suffered all of them. He left us an example, that we should follow in his steps. for man it might be very difficult not to go wrong, but Jesus did everything according to the Wishes of God, doing no sin, neither was guile or deceit found in his mouth. We should believe that it is Jesus who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes and wounds we were healed.

22 Saying, That the Son of man must suffer many things, and be disapproved of by the more ancient and the chief priests and the scribes, and be slain, and be raised up the third day.
23 And he said to all, If any one wish to come after me, let him deny himself, and lift up his cross daily, and let him follow me.
24 For whoever would wish to save his soul shall lose it: and whoever should lose his soul for my sake, the same shall save it.
25 For what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost himself, or having been damaged?
26 For whoever should be ashamed of me and my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he should come in the glory of himself, and of the Father, and of the holy messengers.
27 And I say to you truly, certain are standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they should see the kingdom of God.
28 And it was after these words about eight days, and having taken Peter and John and James, he went up into the mount to pray.

24 And a love of strife was in them, which of them thinks to be the greater.

27 For which the greater, he reclining, or he serving? is not he reclining? and I am in the midst of you as he serving.
28 And ye are they having remained with me in my temptations.

30 That ye might eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and might sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

The disciples of Jesus were witnesses of his actions and how Jesus, as the appointed by God, was put at the torture stake. On a piece of wood he carried our sins. After his death and funeral to be taken out of the dead, after three days being counted by the dead.

39 And ye are witnesses of all which he did in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they killed, having hanged upon wood:
40 Him God raised the third day, and gave him to be manifest;
41 Not to all people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead.
42 And he enjoined us to proclaim to the people, and to testify that this is he appointed by God, Judge of the living and the dead.
43 To him all the prophets testify, for all believing on him to receive remission of sins through his name.

20 For what glory, if, sinning and being cuffed, ye endure? but if, doing good, and suffering, ye endure, this is grace with God.
21 For to this were ye called: for also Christ suffered for you, leaving behind to you an underwriting, that ye should follow upon his footsteps:
22 Who did no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth:
23 Who, being reviled, reviled not back; suffering, he threatened not; and delivered to him judging justly;
24 Who himself bear up our sins in his body upon the wood, that we, removed from sins, should live to justice: by whose bloody mark ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but now have turned about to the Shepherd and inspector of your souls.

All people should come to know that the son of man, Jeshua, Jesus the Christ, redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, being hanged on a tree, or pole. Him being raised from the dead by The God of our ancestors.

Jesus being lifted up, being raised from the dead is given a kingdom by his heavenly Father.

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That every one believing in him perish not, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that every one believing in him perish not, but have eternal life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world that he judge the world; but that the world might be saved through him.
18 He believing in him is not judged: and he not believing has been already judged, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
19 And this is the judgment, that light has come into the world, and men rather loved darkness than light, for their works were evil.

Smith, J. E. (Trans.). (1876). The Holy Bible: Containing the Old and New Testaments; Translated Literally from the Original Tongues (Jn 3:14–19). Hartford, CT: American Publishing Company.

In case Jesus is God he has no reason to say he was pleasing his heavenly Father, or that he was not doing what he wanted to do, but what his Father wanted him to do. He also very well knew that the heavenly Father the God of Israel was with him. A person also can not leave himself without himself, otherwise he would not exist. When Jesus would be God he would also pleasing himself which would be make him to enjoy complacency and would not at all be a servant of himself or of God.

28 Then said Jesus to them, When ye lift up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am, and I do nothing of myself; but as my Father taught me, these I speak.
29 And he having sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always things pleasing to him.

By now man has enough proof who would be that son of man. We should have no doubt that it is not an incarnated God Who would have faked His temptation (because God cannot be tempted) nor would have faked that He was killed (because God can not die). Jesus was not only be killed he was raised from the dead.

9 And they, coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the sight to none, even till the Son of man rises from the dead.

God is and always has been the Most High but this one who had always done the Will of God, was taken out of the dead by God, though first lower than angels he was made higher than angels and being given a kingdom.

7 Thou didst render him some little while less than angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst place him over the work of thine hands:
8 All things didst thou place under his feet. For in placing all things under him, thou didst leave nothing not subjected to him. And now we see not yet all things placed under him.
9 But we see Jesus, made some little while less than angels by the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; so that by the grace of God he should taste of death for all.
10 For it became him, for whom all things, and by whom all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the chief of their salvation by sufferings.
11 For he consecrating and they being consecrated all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Now Jesus seated at the right Hand of Power, being a High Priest for God, God kept allowing Him to have the authority to speak in His Name.

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, observe the sent and Chief Priest of our assent, Christ Jesus;

3 For this was deemed worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he has greater honour of the house having built it.

16 For truly men swear by the greater: and the oath for confirmation to them the end of all controversy.
17 In which God, willing more abundantly to show to the heirs of the promise the firmness of his counsel, he intervened by an oath:
18 That by two unalterable deeds, in which it is impossible for God to deceive, we might have a strong consolation, taking refuge in holding firmly the hope set before:
19 Which we have as an anchor of the soul, unshaken and firm, and entering into that further within the veil;
20 Where the forerunner, Jesus, went in for us, according to the order of Melchisedec, being a high priest forever.

There are people who think that “we could not be redeemed, even through the one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, if Jesus were not also God.” Those who claim that no man can live up to God wishes or can live according the commandments of God, then really would claim that the One who knows the heart of the people, would have given rules and regulations or commandments He knew they would never be able to keep. Would that not make Him a very cruel being?!

Those who say that no man can do the Will of God bring down or give no value to the sacrifice of Jesus. They also make of God a very cruel being than, having humankind waiting so long before performing his acting performance, doing as if He would have a birth, temptation, torturing and death, because God as an eternal Spirit, has no birth and no death. They also make of Him a liar, certainly when they say God is omniscient, omnipresent and all-knowing, because when He at certain moments claims to be invisible for man, eternal and to know everything, at other moments we learn that several people saw Jesus, though did not fall death (some even coming out of the dead), plus Jesus having had to learn everything, calling that he could not be at certain places, and does not know when he would be coming back or who would be sitting next to him. Though that return of Jesus seems to be of a very high importance for mankind. When Jesus would be God and knowing when he would be coming back, but refusing to tell us that, this would be not an act of love, though the Bible tells us also that God is a god of love.

Now when Adam was created, he, being a righteous man, had no need of a mediator. But when sin had placed a wide gulf between God and the human race, it was expedient that a Mediator, who alone of the human race was born, lived, and died without sin, should reconcile us to God, and procure even for our bodies a resurrection to eternal life, in order that the pride of man might be exposed and cured through the humility of that man of flesh and blood who would stand up as a second Adam, proving that man could live according to the Wishes of God.

In the Nazarene Jew Jeshua, Jesus Christ, mankind may find an example; that the fountain of grace might be opened by the Only-begotten becoming (or giving himself as) a servant, a form which had no antecedent merit; that an earnest of that resurrection of the body which is promised to the redeemed might be given in the resurrection of the Redeemer.

We should know that Jesus was taken into heaven from where he shall return.

23 And when they drive you out in this city, flee ye to another; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not finish the cities of Israel till the Son of man come.

The world shall have to know that there comes a day that it shall be too late to recognise the sent one from God as their saviour and son of God. In any case there shall come that day which shall be sudden and unmistakenly, in which it shall his Father.

30 According to these shall be the day in which the Son of man is revealed.

27 For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his messengers; and then he will give back to each according to his deed.

27 For as the lightning comes forth from the sunrisings, and shines to the descents; so also shall be the arrival of the Son of man.
28 For wherever be the fall, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 And quickly after the pressure of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heavens, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken;
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall the tribes of the earth lament bitterly, and they shall see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and much glory.
31 And he shall send his messengers, with the great voice of the trumpet, and they shall bring together his chosen from the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens to the extremities.

Even in the time that Jesus is in heaven he does not know when he would return, because it is only god given to know. When Jesus is God, he naturally would know.

33 So also ye, when ye should see all these things, know ye that it is near at the doors.
34 Truly I say to you, That this generation should not pass away, till all these things should be.
35 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words should not pass away.
36 And concerning that day and hour, none know, nor the messengers of the heavens, except my Father only.
37 And as the days of Noe, so shall be the arrival of the Son of man.
38 For as they were in the days of the inundation, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noe came into the ark,
39 And knew not till the inundation came, and took them all away; so also shall be the arrival of the Son of man.

The Jewish worldview of Jesus’ day envisioned the present age ending with a time of tribulation, followed by divine judgment. Then God’s kingdom — the age to come — would be fully inaugurated.

31 And when the Son of man should come in his glory, and all his holy messengers with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the kids:
33 And he shall set the sheep from his right, and the kids from his left.
34 Then shall the king say to them from his right, Come, the praised of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Many still do not believe in the son of man and take him as their god, but there shall come a time that this Son of man be glorified and people will see the Son of man ascending, though no one has ascended to heaven but he who was given to the earth from heaven, the Son of man (John 3:13). This Son of man who was killed and for three days and three nights in the heart of the earth (Matt. 12:40) is the one in whom we should believe that he is the Son of man (John 9:35) and son of God.

13 And none has ascended to heaven, except he having descended from heaven, the Son of man, he being in heaven.

62 If then ye see the Son of man going up where he was before?
63 It is the spirit making alive; the flesh profits nothing: the words which I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
64 But there are some of you who believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they are not believing, and who he is going to deliver him up.
65 And he said, Therefore have I said to you, that no one can come to me, except it be given him of my Father.

35 Jesus heard that they cast him without; and having found him, said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God?
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe in him?
37 And Jesus said to him, Thou hast also seen him, and he speaking with thee, the same is he.
38 And he said. I believe, Lord. And he worshipped him.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they not seeing might see; and they seeing might be blind.

The world shall have come to know that Jesus is the way to God and not to himself (when he would be God). God on several occasions had spoken about some one He would send and promised to raise up another shepherd than Him and than King David for Israel who will lead His people properly (Ezek 34:23). Jesus depicts himself in that messianic role of the ideal shepherd. He lets us know that he iw willing to guide us and to speak for us. When he was on earth he showed already how he took it up for the poor, the needy, the ill, and helped there where he could, never claiming to do those miracles by himself, but always giving his heavenly Father the honour. Jesus is both the shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep (John 10:11) and the gateway to eternal life (v. 7)

7 Then said Jesus again to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, That I am the door of the sheep.
8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep heard them not.
9 I am the door: if any come in through me, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture.

2 By whom also we have had access by faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast upon hope of the glory of God.

Smith, J. E. (Trans.). (1876). The Holy Bible: Containing the Old and New Testaments; Translated Literally from the Original Tongues (Ro 5:2). Hartford, CT: American Publishing Company.

We may count on it that it is by this son of man, who also is the son of God, that we have a shepherd taking care of his flock and making sure that we can have access to his heavenly Father, Who also should be for us our Father in heaven, like it is the Father of Jesus. and as we should be united in Christ we also should be united in one Spirit to the Father. We are privileged to our Superior, the God of gods, Host of hosts. even when we would not come out of the tribe of Israel, and be gentiles it is by that son of man who gave his life that we now are included in the people of God through God His generosity in Christ.

18 For by him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

20 A way publicly declared and living, which he consecrated to us, through the veil, that is, his flesh;
21 And a great priest over the house of God;
22 Let us approach with a true heart in complete certainty of faith, having our hearts besprinkled from an evil consciousness, and having our bodies washed with pure water.
23 We should hold the assent of hope not bending; (for faithful he having promised;)

As a priest for God Jesus is also an adviser for God, as human being able to know what goes on in a human being. Like Job had a witness in heaven we too have a witness for ourselves. That advocate is on high.

19 Also now, behold, my witness in the heavens, and my testimony in the heights.

In ancient day there had been several prophets to mediate on behalf of their fellow citizens. Those sent ones also mediated on the precepts of God.

15 In thy charges I will meditate, and I will look upon thy ways.
16 In thy laws I will delight: I will not forget thy word.
17 Benefit to thy servant, I shall live and watch thy word.
18 Uncover mine eyes and I shall behold the wonders from thy laws.
19 I am a stranger in the earth, thou wilt not hide thy commands from me.
20 My soul was crushed for the desire to thy judgments in all time.

19 What then the law? It was added on account of transgressions, (till the seed come to whom it was promised; ) appointed by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20 And a mediator is not of one, and God is one.

The devout Jew Saul Saul came to see in a hard way that Jesus was the sent of God and that he now acted as a mediator for us.

I beseech therefore, first of all, supplications to be made, prayers, entreaties, thanks, for all men;
2 For kings, and all them being in eminence; that we may lead a gentle and quiet life, in all devotion and gravity.
3 For this good and acceptable before our Saviour God;
4 Who wills all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Having given himself a ransom for all, a testimony in his own time.
7 For which I was placed a herald, and the sent, (I speak truth in Christ, I lie not;) a teacher of the nations in faith and truth.

Smith, J. E. (Trans.). (1876). The Holy Bible: Containing the Old and New Testaments; Translated Literally from the Original Tongues (1 Ti 2:1–7). Hartford, CT: American Publishing Company.

For the apostles it had become clear who that master teacher really was. They had hoped he would have come to save them from the Romans, but now, by the Force of the Pneuma, they accepted him as the Messiah and an intermediary, go-between, or expert in divine things, not to negotiate agreement or compromise but to approach the deity on behalf of them and others, and so to convey desired knowledge and reassurance with divine authority.

Still more significant is the insistence, everywhere in the NT, that man’s knowledge of God, salvation, and hope are His through Christ alone. Made poor for our sakes, this son of man, born in Bethlehem, brought up in Nazareth, went for a few short years talking about his heavenly Father, before he died and rose “for us”.
Our peace, access to God, reconciliation, expiation of sin, grace, truth, prayer, and “all spiritual blessings” are “through him,” “in him,” “through his blood,” and “in his name.”
The purpose of God focuses in him; he mediated at the making of or creation of a new world, him being the firstborn of that world, were people true to God would be able to come to live.

18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that he might be the first in all.
19 For in him was he pleased that all fulness should dwell:
20 And by him to reconcile all things anew to himself; having made peace by the blood of his cross, by him, whether things upon earth, whether things in the heavens.
21 And you, once being alienated and enemies in mind by evil works, and now has he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh by death, to present you holy, and blameless, and irreproachable before him:

Smith, J. E. (Trans.). (1876). The Holy Bible: Containing the Old and New Testaments; Translated Literally from the Original Tongues (Col 1:18–22). Hartford, CT: American Publishing Company.

Now in heaven in him all the fullness of God dwells, his facet revealing God’s glory. We should remember that no one knows the Father as well save the son Jeshua (Jesus Christ) and those to whom the son reveals Him. But no one comes to the Father but by him; neither is there salvation in any other.
That is mediation, and the fulfilment and end of all mediation. Hebrews opens with the assertion that Christ surpasses all other mediators — angels, Moses, the Aaronic priesthood. His is a timeless priesthood, like Melchizedek’s. His sacrifice is unrepeatable, “once for all time,” and by it we have been consecrated to God “for all time.”

The covenant Jesus established between God and man offers better promises, sacrifice, sanctuary, and hope.

19 (For the law completed nothing,) but the bringing in of a better hope; by which we draw near to God.
20 And as much as not without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath:
21 (For they truly without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath became priests; but he with the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath by him, saying to him, The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec: )
22 According to this, Jesus has become security of a better covenant.
23 And they truly are become many priests, by reason of death being hindered from remaining:
24 And he, because he remains forever, has an inviolable priesthood.
25 Wherefore he is able to save entirely those coming to God by him, always living to supplicate for them.
26 For such a chief priest became us, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and being higher than the heavens;
27 Who has no necessity according to the day, as the chief priests, before to bring up sacrifices for their own sins, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having brought up himself.
28 For the law establishes men chief priests having weakness; but the word of the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath, after the law, the Son, having been perfected forever.

6 And now he has attained a more distinguished office, in how much also he is mediator of a better covenant, which was legislated upon better promises.

And truly therefore the first had precepts of divine service for him, and a worldly holy place.

11 And Christ being present, a chief priest of good things about to be, by a greater and more perfect tent, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation;
12 Neither by the blood of he-goats and calves, and by his own blood he went in once for all to the holies, having found eternal deliverance.
13 For if the blood of bulls and he-goats, and the ashes of a heifer besprinkling the polluted, consecrates to the purity of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself blameless to God, purify your consciousness from dead works to serve the living God?
15 And for this he is mediator of a new covenant, that death having been, for redemption of the transgressions for the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Christ’s mediation so far excels that it can never be superseded; he is priest without rival and for ever (cf. 1 Tm 2:5).

5 For one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Having given himself a ransom for all, a testimony in his own time.

Smith, J. E. (Trans.). (1876). The Holy Bible: Containing the Old and New Testaments; Translated Literally from the Original Tongues (1 Ti 2:5–6). Hartford, CT: American Publishing Company.

No one has seen God at any time, but as unique son, Jesus “expounds” God. Jesus declared his heavenly Father. He went into details, explaining what was written in the scrolls. To make known or set forth his heavenly Father, we should understand his words and trust him who put his own will aside to do the Will of God.
By making him into God people do injustice to his acts and do not see nor understand how God works through him, and how he became a real good servant for God. Those who see Christ should come to see the Father, watch His works, and hear His words. From man’s side, Jesus prays for the disciples (Jn 17), offers perfect obedience, lays down his life for his flock, and offers the unblemished sacrifice which bears away the sin of the world.

By accepting his sonship and what he really has done we give him full honour for his sacrificial death. Jesus made clear or plain, especially by explanation, who he was and what he came to do, for what reason. He explained or clarified the Word of God so that we could come to see and understand. Throughout the ages has enough been written so that blind may come to see and deaf may come to hear. Each persons shall be accounted individually for his or her choice and willingness to accept Jesus as the son of God. It is up to you to recognise his offering or to continue to attribute his deeds to Another.

Please come to accept Jesus as your master teacher, him being the son of man and son of God, who gave his life for your sins, and him now being seated at the right hand of God to be the best mediator you can have before God for you.
