John 5:26-27
For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself. And He has given Him authority to judge because He is the Son of Man.
God the Father "has life in Himself," that is, is self-existent; and He has given Jesus to also "have life in Himself," self-existent, as God. So Jesus is as much God as God the Father is God. This is beyond my understanding, but I believe it to be so. And the Father has given Jesus all "authority to judge because He is the Son of Man;" Jesus is also just as human as you and I. He lived a whole life as a human being, always making the right choices and obeying. And He purchased us all with His precious Blood; so is our legal and righteous Judge.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
