God is like the Chairman of the Board, while Jesus is like a CEO or COO in charge of operations. If you work for any large corporation, your highest boss is the CEO and not the Chairman of the Board. The Chairman is his boss.
Jesus is like the CEO in charge of human and earth operations. Only he talks directly to the Chairman. The underlings never deal directly with the Chairman in any official capacity.
Look at it this way. If God could create the universe, what would any human have in common? How could you have an intelligent conversion? It would all be for vanity and bragging rights. What are you going to talk about, the weather or sports scores?
We have no clue about the biggest pictures, and we would waste God's time, with him having to deal with morons, with tiny self serving brains. Jesus is like a liaison, who is in the trenches with his workers. He can translate between these two stations. But to humans, Jesus is so high up, he is still God's chosen one.
If you work for a large corporation, go to the CEO's office and walk in. Depending on how large the company is, this can be very intimidating, since he/she is busy, and what can you say to make your meeting productive for him/her? Now realize he is under someone bigger than him, who can fire him. For most people, a middle level supervisor is your liaison, not the CEO. The office to Jesus, the CEO, is open to those who seek him.
I remember as a young engineer, just out of grad school, working my first job, for a university teaching program at a National Lab in the USA. The Lab employed about 6000 scientists from around the world, technicians and support staff. Part of my job for the university was to solicit research intern projects and create literature files, as part of the university's graduate school program. I tried the conventional approach of working up the chain of command, in this large facility, but I got stopped in the middle of the chain, by an arrogant foot dragging middle manager.
Students would be coming in the fall and I felt under the gun. So. I decided to start again, but this time, at the top. I went to "Mahogany Row" to the Director's office, where I was greeted by his secretary; executive assistant. His secretary liked me and she opened the door; figuratively, to the CEO, for me. It turned out the CEO was a fellow former scientist, and a very nice down to earth guy.
I would visit them each morning, for about two weeks. I would sit with her by her desk and chit chat about life and her kids, until she knew the big guy was free. Then I would sit opposite him, in nice comfortable leather chair, and chew the fat, about the Lab and its history, until one day I built up the courage to ask him a favor for my professional needs. He was very helpful and gave me the keys to the city, allowing me to remove all the middle level management obstacles. Jesus is like that friendly CEO, if you have faith and ask.
The funny part of the story was, as I went down the chain of command, I got to meet everyone one at the top of the food chain. This journey brought me back to the same middle manager who created the original obstacles. When I entered his office, he started to rip me a new one for wasting his time, again. So told him, politely, that if he did not have the time to help, I would go back to Bob; CEO, and ask him to suggest someone else.
His jaw dropped, when realized I had the blessings from the big guy. He then switched to the kiss butt side of his two faces, and started to treat me like his best friend. I took his help, and said thank you, and kept quiet of that event, since I had no desire to be vindictive. Instead, I gave myself the afternoon off, to work by my apartment pool. Sometimes the spirit moves you in strange ways and help comes from unlikely places.
