The special mag we had on Jesus had an excellent illustration that addresses the claim that Jesus was God in the flesh:
"Some workers make a request of their supervisor, but he says that he does not have the authority to grant it. If his statement is true, the supervisor has wisely displayed an awareness of his limitations. If it is not true - if he can grant the request but chooses not to - he has been deceptive. Now, how did Jesus respond when two of his apostles desired positions of prominence? He told them, "This sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father." If Jesus were really God, would that not have been a lie? Instead, by deferring to the One with greater authority, Jesus set a beautiful example in modesty - and he showed he was not equal to God."
