I think that statement indicates that he is a likeness or a reflection of the nature of God. Some may say that he IS God and they are one in the same. Just remember... believers created the gospels as devices for conversion. If they were written decades, even centuries, after Jesus lived, how much of the author's own thoughts and beliefs were juxtaposed with what had traditionally been accredited to Jesus.

In the beginning was the WORD (JESUS) the Word was with God, the Word was God. Even though He created the word, the world didn't recognize Him when He came.
Some names of the Son of God.
Jesus is the living Word and also Jesus said, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the Life. No man can come to the Father but through ME.

He meant that he was the reflexion of God. Like a son reflects the qualities of his father. Meaning he has the same qualities as his father. Considering God's been around for an eternity, and Jesus has been around since before mankind, they would definitely have this kind of relationship.

Basically, Jesus was the embodiment of God the Father. The "see" to which He refers is not physical but more characteristic.
We are called to embody Christ in the same manner..."clothing " ourselves with Him. As C.S. Lewis had stated: Christianity is all about vicariousness.

In Matthew 11:27, Jesus said, "No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."
He was sent here in human form to walk amongst us, but in God's name. Yes, he is the son, but walks with us as God. In a divine way, He is both!

I don't trust the Gospels when it says anything about what Jesus said and did. For all anyone really knows, it's a lot of fiction produced by Gentile communities outside of Judea who really didn't know what had gone on decades earlier.

Jesus is God, and God is Jesus. Jesus said I and the Father are one. Also in the bible you read when two shall be married they become one. Well so not to confuse you. Jesus is as much God as God is God even thought they are seperate beings. I am married and I am as much a part of my husbands life as he is mine. Hope that makes sence to you.

the goodness of God is reflected in Jesus. I don't think Jesus ever said he was the son of God or that he was God. He just meant that he is what God wants other humans to be like

God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are a trinity. All are God, if you see one you see the other. It's like an apple, The peeling , the fruit. the seeds.

There are two chair in the Throne Room. God the Father, Jehovah, sits in one and His Son, Jesus, sits in the other. Together, They are God. Cool, huh?
