Did you know that Christ is really different from God?

I want to share you six great differences between Christ and God.

First. The Father who is the only true God,

1After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 3Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (John 17:1,3, NIV)

recognized no other god.

39 “See now that I myself am He!
There is no god besides me.
I put to death and I bring to life,
I have wounded and I will heal,
and no one can deliver out of my hand. (Deuteronomy 32:39, ibid)

On the other hand, Christ called for His God.

34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”—which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34, ibid)

Second: God raised Jesus from the dead.

32God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. (Acts 2:32, ibid)

And it is Christ who was raised by God from the dead.

10then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. (Acts 4:10, ibid)

Third: God put everything under Christ feet, but Christ is subject to God.

27For he “has put everything under his feet.”[a] Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. 28When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all. (1 Corinthians 15:27-28, ibid)

Fourth: God is immortal,

17Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (I Timothy 1:17, ibid)

but Christ died.

3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, (I Corinthians 15:3, ibid)

Fifth: God is almighty,

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty ; walk before me and be blameless. (Genesis 17:1, ibid)

Christ only received authority.

18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.(Matthew 28:18, ibid)

Sixth: God can do everything,

11 From the east I summon a bird of prey;
from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that will I bring about;
what I have planned, that will I do. (Isaiah 46:11, ibid)

But Christ can do nothing by Himself.

30By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. (Jon 5:30, ibid)
