Who Is This Jesus: Part II

Who is this Jesus?  This is a question I posed in July of 2015.  If you did not read that post you can read it here Who is This Jesus?  It is a critical question and each person must answer it for themself.  The great news is Jesus answered it for us.  He wrote 66 books on the subject.  Here are some things that he said about himself.  As it mentions in the text below Jesus and the Father are one.  Jesus said "if you have seen me you have seen the Father" (John 14:9).  Enjoy this letter to you from God the Father.
