Yes. But I was referring to the fact that Jesus was God incarnate. That is, there was no man named Jesus who did not have God manifest in Him previous to the manifestation of God. We are born into this world naturally and without God's Spirit in us. Jesus was not. Furthermore, Jesus existed as God from eternity past before He manifested in flesh, and that man was the one and the same person as God. We are not the person of God. We are separate persons who have God's person in us. This was not the case with Jesus. In that sense, He was God manifested in Him moreso than in us, although we can do the works He did by God's manifestation, and He even said GREATER WORKS shall we do!
