Its why Jesus as a man could say the Father was greater than He. As the Father is greater than all men. Its why as a man He could say He was going to His God
Again---->>>1 Corinthians 11:3.....the head of Christ is God.
Christ is shown as the Rock......
2 Samuel 22:3
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
2 Samuel 22:47
The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
Notice Paul refers to Christ as the Rock.....
1 Corinthians 10:1-4
10 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
[SUP]2 [/SUP]And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
[SUP]4 [/SUP]And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ."
Notice what David said of His Rock=Christ and below by calling Him Lord, and what Jesus says about Himself and whose Son is He?
Matthew 22:41-46
[SUP]41 [/SUP]While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
[SUP]42 [/SUP]Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
[SUP]43 [/SUP]He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
[SUP]44 [/SUP]The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
[SUP]45 [/SUP]If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
[SUP]46 [/SUP]And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions."
So again we see by scripture that Christ, the Son of God was around before Christ was made flesh in Jesus.
