Today Jesus is not God but he is like a human and like God in a toned down way, just enough for us to not be overcome by fear like we would be with God but similar enough to God that knowing him gives us the benefits we would get if we knew God directly. Since he is human like us we can know that he truly knows what it is like to be us, and we can know that the Father has this one like us with Him to represent us utterly effectively. Jesus is spiritually able to reach us where we are and interact effectively with us at a spiritual level. The Holy Spirit can interact with us on Jesus’ behalf too and do so with many all at once, throughout the world at once, without human limitations. So Jesus is similar now to how he was as the word of God before he was made human in flesh and bone. Yet he is still human. Resurrected and with God the Father but human nonetheless. We could touch him and know it for ourselves. If we see him it might blind us. We can hear the spirit of his voice in the depths of our psyche. He is fully master of our real inner being and can work with us effectively at all levels in the master nature God has given him. One day he will judge us all and at his coming raise very many people from the dead all at once giving them and many still alive at that time immortality along with himself. This is glory such as he had as the word before becoming flesh: Glory he had before the world began.
