He is the “Light of the World”
He is “The Word” (Logos).
The Word was God.
He was in the Beginning.
“All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being” (NASB).
He is “The everlasting Father”.
He is also the Holy Spirit (John 16:7)...we call it the ‘Trinity’ because that’s the best way that we can understand it.
He left ‘heaven’ and came amongst us “In the Flesh”.
He was not ‘killed’, He gave up his fleshly life of his own volition once his ‘Work’ was finished.
His ‘Work’, was initially that of creating “everything that IS”, and finally was that of re-creating “All things New”.
He returned to Heaven in order to “Come Again” (no longer ‘in the flesh’ but rather ‘in the spirit’)
He now has “Come Again” and lives “Within my Heart” (and within yours as well).
Unlike us He is/was not constrained by ‘Time’….What He does Today He did Tomorrow and will do Yesterday (we understand that no better than we understand the triune nature of the one God).
One day (in the same way that He was no longer ‘Flesh’ but became ‘Spirit’) we shall see Him as He really is and then (having shed mortality and put on immortality) we “Shall be like Him”.
