Jesus: The Father is Greater than I

Jesus declared in John 14:28 “the Father is greater than I.” How is this so? This declaration by Jesus is seized as the dagger against deity claims and the scriptures by atheists, skeptics, Muslims, Jews and others. Others seize these words as a contradiction on the teaching of the scriptures. Still others, including so-called unitarians and so-called trinitarians, seize the deity claims of Jesus

and the scriptures as the divine will of God take these words with a contrived forcefulness, but no less weak explanation for the edification of the saints. They find themselves at a loss to understand much less teach these words which were spoken by our Lord and Savior Jesus.
