He created for Himself HIS OWN IDENTITY/PERSONALITY to show how He is, how He feels, etc. to set an EXAMPLE for us on how to live, not on how to die. This is why He calls His identity His only BEGOTTEN Son and gives all power unto Jesus--This is how we are to be. When Jesus says that the Father is greater, He means MORE. When He says that none are good except God/Father He means the pure Holy Spirit of maternal Love that He feels for all mankind.
We are to be as He is--carrying the burden of maternal love for all mankind as perfect examples of obedience with truth and wisdom as our guide.
Yeshua Bless You

Joh 14:28 You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.

The word "greater" does not tranlate into "more," at least not in the context of the verse. ". . . because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I." The Father is greater in the sense that Jesus was speaking from the state of His humiliation. If the disciple loved Him, they would rejoiced that He was going to the Father, and coming back to them. What better place to be than with the Father?
