For Theology class last Thursday, our teacher posed the question: "Is God the Father greater than Jesus?" If you answered no, than you got it right! Ding ding ding! You get, not one, but two exclamation marks!! They are indeed equal. But the the why of the answer is not so easily found, but with some searching I did find a helpful "tractate" on the a verse in the Gospel of John where Jesus says: "The Father is greater than I" (John 14:27-28)
Woah! Hold on! The Father is greater than Jesus? I thought you said they were equal!
I did! And if you're curious for the answer on whether I'm right or not, you can either read the excellently written tractate by the Church fathers on it:

Or my not so well written essay on it, basically me trying to condense the awesome amount of information from the aforementioned article:

If you have read all the way to here, I applaud you for your graciousness, and your long attention span!
Until next time faithful reader(s)!
