John 1:18: Nobody had exeperience the full esence of God until Jesus came to Earth.

Philippians 2:5-11: Christians should strive to live like Jesus, and one day EVERY knee will bow and EVERY tounge will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of all (but that doesn't mean they'll believe it!)

Hebrews 2:10-18: By Jesus dying on the cross, the perfect Son of God became our perfect Savior, opening the way to God.

Another thought:

John 1:18 says: "No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."(KJV) (1 John 4:12) This is explaining that Jesus, himself, worships a God and 'declares him'(Colossians 1:3/John 20:17), and this 'God' is his Father (2 Corinthians 1:3/(John 5:36-38).

Philippians 2:5-11 says: "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."(ESV) WHO was Jesus 'obedient' to?? Though a spirit person, Jesus was not striving to be equal to God(his father), but to be obedient to Him in all things.(John 14:28)(1 Corinthians 11:3) (1 Corinthians 15:28)(Philippians 2:8)((John 10:17)(Hebrews 5:8)(Matthew 7:21-23). Jesus 'learned obedience' and became a 'high priest to God' (Hebrews 5:8-10)

Hebrews 2:10-18 says (in part): "...For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants. For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people..."(NIV). Jesus was a 'ransom sacrifice'(Matthew 20:28) for the sin of Adam (Romans 5:12+14). He became a 'high priest' in the service of God, his father, offering his perfect life as a sacrifice for repentant mankind. (Hebrews 9:15)(1 Timothy 2:6)
