The verse you site refers to Jesus as the God-man. In the __context__, it is talking about the Mediator, the One who can understand our petitions. In Scripture, whenever there is a reference to Jesus in humanness (even when He was on earth), it always has some kind of reference to His human side, whether it be compassion, humility or whatever. References to Jesus as the Son of God or the Judge or coming King refer to His deity. In particular, check out Revelation where it talks about our King coming again (eg, Rev 2:19). Jesus was human and *IS* God. Having being human, he can intercede for us on behalf of the Father. -- Jeff
