God on Earth

Heb 1:2-3
2 in these last days has spoken to us in {His} Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high;(NAS)

The part of this passage that sticks out to me the most is in verse three. Jesus is the exact representation of God's nature. When Jesus came to earth, it was a true glimpse of who God is. Jesus truly was God among us. And now, after rising from the grave having died for our sins, He reigns in Heaven with God. In fact, He is God. To my limited understanding, the Greek word translated "exact representation" could be more accurately stated as character. Jesus is the "character" of God.
