God created something, like an artist creates a self portrait. Just as Jesus is thought to be one with the father or a reflection of the father, the self portrait is the same. We might also compare the self portrait to an autobiography. Have you ever looked at Jesus as the autobiography of God the father?
In the image shown below, I imagine the artist taking a chisel and hammer to his own work with the purpose of destoying it. While in the process of destroying his work, the audience is able to see the effect, captured in time. In the process of destroying the fine piece, the artist has created something for the rest of us.
Is it a cheesy comparison?
