John 14:28

28. Ye would rejoice Sorrowful as was his departure, love to him should inspire joy for his sake that it was to be accomplished. For he should thereby go unto the Father. His glorified person, ascending to the right hand of God, would be in glory and in bliss ineffable; would be, in human form, the very living person, real and confessed, of God himself. Beyond the unbeliefs and gainsayings of men, beyond the temptations and hostilities of Satan, he would stand upon the mount of God, angels, and principalities, and powers being subject unto him. For his sake, therefore, if they loved him, they would rejoice in his ascending glory.

Father is greater than I God, original and essential, is, by office and originality, greater than the Incarnate. And the Incarnate, in ascending to him, ascends to his great Superior. He mounts to his Father’s home. And yet, this very assertion, that the Father is greater than I, indicates, in some respect, a divine equality. What man would say, God is greater than myself?
