If seemed short with you in anyway please forgive me brother-

I am not sure what you are seeing but it is important to remember that the Lord walked the earth in humility and meekness as an example to us not as a sign of weakness:
Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

If Jesus was equal to God then He is God for none other can make this claim- there is no other who is in the form of God for there is none like our God- One awesome God- three manifestations of His Glory-
Jesus Himself said "Before Abraham was I AM"- the Jews knew what He was saying and wanted to stone Him for blasphemy- He was claiming to be their God the great I AM- He truely was Emmanuel-litterally God with us- does this make Him small-no- It took far more strength for love to stay on the cross and pay our price then it would have to come down- God is gentle and merciful to those He loves:
Mat 12:20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.


He came to restore that which was lost - He did that with love - that is the side of God few knew until His sacrifice opened the way- there is nothing small or weak in our Lord and on His return He will not be manifest as a gentle Lamb but as an Almighty conquering King !
