Jesus was not eternal, omnipotent, omniscience or omnipresent yet scripture makes plain that there had to be something that he and his God and FATHER had in common. What was it?
General How was Jesus like his God?

I learned one of the most important things just recently with the help of someone who has become very dear to me and an answer I believe now, is given in the Bible verse that gave her her 'aha-moment', namely John 14:20.
I hope this helps? And John 14: 6-7,10-11. It's one answer at least

I thank you for sharing that scripture. I was thinking along the idea of righteousness and love. Jesus was God's righteous servant and loved us with the same love as God. I think this shows that Jesus had the divine nature Peter spoke about as a promise to us. This is perhaps why Jesus said if you see me you have seen the Father and my Father and I are one. The Character of God was displayed in Jesus. God created an image of Himself in this way and we then hope to be made in the image of Jesus. Those who will be in the kingdom of God will be changed to be of this divine nature, the nature Jesus the man, and this is why Jesus is our example to follow. Jesus had this kingdom character in a fleshly body subject to death on the cross. Jesus was perfect and said that we also must be as perfect as God. This is how I see the link between the Father, the Son and us.
Yes, John 14:9 B says: If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. What we see is how Jesus loved, lived, healed, died for us all. How he cared for everyone and the children for him were special too.
Hebrews 1:3 says in the Dutch Basis Bible (Basis Bijbel): The Son is the "image" of God Himself. In him we see who God is. In him we see the power and majesty of God and the character of God. The Son causes all things to exist. For all things exist through his word, which is power. First, the Son made sure that people could be forgiven for all their disobedience to God. Then he went to heaven. There he sits next to God on the throne.
1 John 4: 15-17 in the World English Bible says: 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God. We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. 17 In this, love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement, because as he is, even so we are in this world. Love is perfect.
