GOD THE SON

Jesus Christ is the second person of the Godhead. This does not mean 
however, that He is in any way inferior to God the Father or God the Holy 
Spirit. He is God in the full and unqualified meaning of the expression, as 
we shall see from the following texts. Jesus was also fully man, but we 
will look at this aspect of His nature in another study.

A. His Pre-existence

Jesus existence did not start when He was born in Bethlehem, He had existed 
long before then:

I had with you before the world began."
