Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh. He is the "image of the invisible God." The procession of the Second Person of the Trinity is by way of intellect, wherein God the Father knows himself perfectly as to beget an "image" of himself. This image must be God since only God's essence can perfectly be an "image" of God. This is why John in Greek calls him the Logos.
Jesus is the Word itself, so him coming down to us is God's perfect revelation, because he is the Logos of the God. Jesus is Truth itself ("I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life"): Credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius; Nil hoc verbo Veritatis verius (I believe whatever God's own Son declared; nothing can be truer than Truth's very Word.) - St. Thomas Aquinas. Do not doubt whether this is true, but rather receive the words of the Savior in faith, for since He is truth, He cannot lie - Cyril of Alexandria
