Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. John 14:10
In our age we have these celebrated persons who come as a package. One is their screen persona presented to the world, and the other is their private self which is often more hidden. Then social media came along. No doubt the pressure on these celebrities is greater than ever to be like what is seen on the screen. Which could be difficult if the actor's claim to fame is a comic book superhero character.
Imagine though what it was like for the disciples of Jesus to understand that here was God, in the form of a man, standing, sitting, eating, and being human in front of them. The Father, God, dwelt in Jesus and did the works they had all seen. Not an actor, nor a madman, just a baby born in Bethlehem grown up to present God to them in a form they could see and touch. Amazing!
Have a faithful day in Christ Jesus!
