John 1:1, 14  "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God....And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."

Philippians 2:6-8  "...Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bondservant, and being made in the likeness of men.  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.  Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in Heaven, and on the Earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."  (See Is. 45:23)

Colossians 1:15-22  "And He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation.  For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created by Him and for Him.  And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together....For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him...." 

Jesus accomplished, as a man, what mankind itself was supposed to accomplish in the first place.
