What’s
the True Meaning of “I and My Father Are One”?
By Wang Ya
In the past, I saw the Bible recorded, “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up
straightway out of the water: and, see, the heavens were opened to him, and he
saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting on him: And see a
voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Mat 3:16-17). Additionally,
the Lord Jesus usually said “God the Father” as He prayed. Therefore, I firmly believed
that there was God the Father in heaven and the Lord Jesus was only the Son of
God. But later, I read the words of the Lord Jesus, “I and my Father are
one” (Joh
There Is A Video Here
Until one day, I read such a passage of words in
a spiritual book given by my friend, “When Jesus called God in heaven by the
name of Father as He prayed, this was done only from the perspective of a
created man, only because the Spirit of God had clothed Himself as an ordinary
and normal man and had the exterior cover of a created being. Even if within
Him was the Spirit of God, His exterior appearance was still that of an
ordinary man; in other words, He had become the ‘Son of man’ of which all men,
including Jesus Himself, spoke. Given that He is called the Son of man, He is a
person (whether man or woman, in any case one with the exterior shell of a
human being) born into a normal family of ordinary
people. Therefore, Jesus calling God in heaven by the name of Father was the
same as how you at first called Him Father; He did so from the perspective of a
man of creation. Do you still remember the Lord’s Prayer that Jesus taught you
to memorize? ‘Our Father in heaven….’ He asked all man to call God in heaven by
the name of Father. And since He too called Him Father, He did so from the
perspective of one who stands on an equal footing with you all. … However great
the authority of Jesus on earth, prior to the crucifixion, He was merely a Son
of man, governed by the Holy Spirit (that is, God), and one of the earth’s
created beings, for He had yet to complete His work. Therefore, His calling God
in heaven Father was solely His humility and obedience. His addressing God
(that is, the Spirit in heaven) in such a manner, however, does not
prove that He is the Son of the Spirit of God in heaven. Rather, it is simply
that His perspective is different…. Prior to His crucifixion, Jesus was a Son
of man bound by the limitations of the flesh, and He did not fully possess the
authority of the Spirit. That is why He could only seek the will of God the
Father from the perspective of a created being. It is as He thrice prayed in
Another Video
These words enlightened me immediately and what had puzzled me for
years was finally resolved. It turned out that the Lord Jesus was God’s Spirit
putting on a flesh to become the Son of man. He had the exterior cover of a
created being and lived a normal human life. When the Lord prayed to God the
Father, He did so from the perspective of a created being. Just like when the
Lord Jesus taught us to memorize the Lord’s Prayer, “Our Father which are
in heaven…,” He also asked us to call God in heaven by the name of Father.
According to my imagination, because the Lord Jesus called God in heaven by the
name of Father, we concluded that the Lord Jesus was not the God Himself but
the Son of God’s Spirit; since we also call God in heaven by the name of
Father, then can we say that we are the sons of God’s Spirit? How absurd my
thought was! The Lord Jesus is God Himself, yet He could call God in heaven by the
name of Father from the same perspective of a created being and seek the will
of God the Father. It entirely reveals God’s humble and hidden essence.
However, I not only had no knowledge of God’s humble essence, but also
developed notions about the Lord’s calling “God the Father” as He prayed. How ignorant I was!
Then I read
these words, “There are still those
who say, did not God expressly state that Jesus was His beloved Son? ‘Jesus is
the beloved Son of God, in whom He is well pleased’ was certainly spoken by God
Himself. That was God bearing witness to Himself, but merely from a
different perspective, that of the Spirit in heaven bearing witness to His own
incarnation. Jesus is His incarnation, not His Son in heaven. Do you
understand? Do not the words of Jesus, ‘The Father is in Me and I am in the
Father,’ indicate that They are one Spirit? And is it not because of the
incarnation that They were separated between heaven and earth? In reality, They
are still one; no matter what, it is simply God bearing
witness to Himself. … But at that time,
the Spirit in heaven stated only that He was the beloved Son of God, and made
no mention of His being the only Son of God. This simply did not happen. How
could God have an only child? Then would God not have become man? Because He
was the incarnation, He was called the beloved Son of God, and, from this, came
the relationship between Father and Son. It was simply because of the
separation between heaven and earth. Jesus prayed from the perspective of the
flesh. Since He had put on a flesh of such normal humanity, it is from the
perspective of the flesh that He said: My outer shell is that of a created
being. Since I put on a flesh to come to this earth, I am now a long, long way
from heaven. For this reason, He could only pray to God the Father from
the perspective of the flesh. This was His duty, and that which the incarnate
Spirit of God should be furnished with. It cannot be said that He is not God simply
because He prays to the Father from the perspective of the flesh. Though He is
called the beloved Son of God, He is still God Himself, for He is but the
incarnation of the Spirit, and His substance is still the Spirit” .
After reading this, I was even more
aware that when the Spirit in heaven called Jesus His beloved Son, God
witnessed His incarnated flesh from the
perspective of the Spirit. That was God bearing witness to Himself. However, when the
Lord Jesus called God in heaven by the name of Father, He called the Spirit of
God from the perspective of the flesh. But it couldn’t prove that the Lord
Jesus was the Son of God’s Spirit in heaven. In the time of the New Testament,
God incarnate came to do the work of crucifixion and redemption. He took on the
sins of mankind as the sin offering. As God’s Spirit is not suited to be
crucified directly, but only God’s Spirit assuming the flesh and coming to the
earth is most suited to finishing the work. As the embodiment of the Spirit of
God, the Lord Jesus did the work of God Himself. What the Lord Jesus expressed
was the will of the Spirit. God’s flesh and Spirit are one and They have the same
essence, disposition, wisdom and almightiness. There is the only one true God
in heaven and on earth. I couldn’t help remembering what the Lord Jesus once
said, “The first of all the
commandments is, Hear, O
Now I finally understand the meaning of the Lord Jesus’ words, “He that has seen me
has seen the Father; … I am in the Father, and the Father in me” (Joh
14:9-10). “I and my Father are
one” (Joh
