He is God the Son, co-equal and co-eternal with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. There are so many Christians who do not understand this properly. We forget that Jesus is King of kings and Lord of Lords. Yes He came in the form of a helpless babe and of Himself laid aside His glory, but He took it up again after the ascension when He sat down at the right hand of God. After the resurrection when Thomas saw Jesus he declared Jesus to be, "My Lord and my God." and Jesus accepted that title from him. Jesus was a good man, but that is not all, He was very God of very God, and He still is. And we are His children and will be with Him one day when all the trials of this life are over.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
