Is the Father Greater than the Son?
John 14:28 You have heard Me say to you, “I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.
For those who believe that Jesus is both Lord and Savior of their life, we understand that Jesus is God. We know that the Bible reveals that there is “One God”, who has revealed Himself in three persons. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. All three are God.
Why then does Jesus say “My Father is greater than I?”
It is important to understand that when Jesus came to earth as the Messiah and Savior of the world, He was doing so as a servant. In order for Jesus as the Eternal God, and the One who spoke the universe into existence, it was necessary that He humble Himself and take the position of a servant, in order to secure our salvation. The old testament speaks of the fact that the Messiah would come as a humble servant of God to do His will.
