We ignore the obvious at
our peril. The obvious, in this case, is that Jesus was not just a great and
good man but also was God. Jesus is a historical figure who meets the criteria
necessary for God/Man actuality.
Because Jesus was God, He
still is God. Also, because Jesus was human, He is still human.

Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS)
4-5 Just think what the
Israelites have had given to them. The privilege of being adopted as sons of
God, the experience of seeing something of the glory of God, the receiving of
the agreements made with God, the gift of the Law, true ways of worship, God’s
own promises—all these are theirs, and so too, as far as human descent goes, is
Christ himself, Christ who is God over all, blessed for ever.

James Version (KJV)

of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for
ever. Am

Translation (DARBY)
