Who is Jesus?

He is more, yet he is less…he is more than a man and yet less than a man, the son of men, the subordinate unto all creation...he is God, but not God, a man, a man who made himself in the likeness of other men, and that is what makes him so great…because he is great he is greatness, and light and purity and perfection, and yet this man, this being who in the very nature of God believed that equality with God was not something that he could or should grasp. So he made himself less than, less than God, less than perfection, less than purity, less than man, he poured out all that made him God and greatness and awesomeness. He became less so that we could become more, he became less so that we could see more, he became us so that we could see him because we were so full of ourselves that we could not see God, so he became us. He became imperfect, flawed, he became what we are, who we are, experiencing what we experience so that we could know him. So that he could know us, he became the imperfection of man, he became blood, sweat and tears, pain and anguish, hurting and dying, death, even a death on a cross, the most humiliating of all deaths, and for what, for freedom, not his freedom, our freedom. Freedom from oppression, rules, regulations, systems telling us that whatever we do we can never be HIM because HE is so great, greater than we are, than we could ever be, than we could ever hope to be or accomplish. But at the same time, in our imperfections, in our flaws, in our weakness he is made strong in us, because he became one of us, loved us, lived with us, cried with us and died with us. He came to us that we could know Him…not just about him, but know him, who he is…everything about who he is what he is, when he is, how he is, where he is. He is within us because he loves us, we love him, but only because he loved us first, he is light, in him is light, he is our light, the light of men, without Him there is nothing and we are nothing, he us our light, the light of men, he is light and word, the word of men, the word of life, the word of love, the word of being, the word of action, the word of reason, he is more than word or words could comprehend, he is love, and beyond love, the epitome of love, a love with such a surpassing greatness that the love we think we have pales in comparison to this love, his love, the love of a parent to a child, unending love, undying love, unfailing love, uncompromising love, the kind of love that would never use, abuse, misuse, reuse or exist merely to amuse you…but the love that brings more, fulfillment, completion, creation, regeneration, life, light, hope, power, and all things good in the world. All the things that we could be, now can be, now will be, because of him and who he is, how he is, what he is. He is…Jesus.
