The Real Story Starts After You Are Dead


I have been thinking about Jesus, and I'm a bit befuddled.

He's divine, worthy of worship, in essence God Almighty.
But He's also human, like us. Limited.

Jesus did all kinds of craziness on earth, displayed authority over the elements, demons, and even the laws of physics. But was that His God-powers? He was supposed to have given those up, in order to identify with us...

We must be missing something here.

Maybe, Jesus was truly simply human. Perhaps, he was fully God in that He was birthed from the pure seed, like Adam before him. Yet, unlike Adam, A woman took part in his conception.  Maybe, God created Him to be the forerunner, to show us how humanity was supposed to be. A "firstborn" son of God. Because He had not chosen disobedience, there was a whole realm of power opened up through an iron hard faith.

With that in mind, what power and authority do we have? If we can "die to ourselves" as Jesus provided a way for us to do, can we begin to understand and replicate this higher power?

What are your thoughts?

-Peter

P.S.
Jesus is referred to as the Firstborn when compared to Adam. Does that mean that we, who are saved, are those who come after? That puts us close to equal standing with Jesus after this world is done. I mean, we are going to sit on thrones.

P.P.S.
This sounds kinda edgy, but currently, it's just an idea taking shape. Feel free to rebut it with scripture.
