A:

One way to see how much of God was revealed in Jesus is to read Jesus' last words at the moment of his death. A person's last words are often very revealing.

In Mark's Gospel, followed faithfully in Matthew's Gospel, Jesus' last words were taken from Psalm 22:1, "My God. My God. Why hast thou forsaken me?" This reflects the suffering of a mortal and does not reveal God in Jesus.

In Luke, Jesus' last words were, "Into thy hands I commend my spirit." Here, Jesus was being very stoic and obedient to God, rather than revealing God himself.

In John, Jesus instead said, "It is finished" and gave up the ghost. Here, we at last see Jesus as aware of his destiny and committed to finishing his mission as commanded by God. In the Garden of Gethsemene, Jesus had not prayed that God spare him from crucifixion, as in Mark's Gospel, but instead he said a triumphant prayer before reaching the Garden, saying that his time had come. It is in this account that something divine was revealed in Jesus.

How can God be Jesus also?

God can be whatever He wants to be and this does not have to conform to any human logic. Much of what God reveals about Himself raises further questions, especially when we ask why about something. Often the answer is simply in the sovereign will of God who can and does do as He pleases, within the character of who He is. All we know is what Jesus has revealed about Himself - that He is the "I AM" of Exodus 3:14 and also that "I and the Father are one." How exactly this is is a mystery, although many have given all kinds of pictures as to how it is, but these are only limited by what He has revealed and by the finiteness of our human minds. ---- God is all powerful.
