Understanding this quote
The quote draws a distinction between Jesus claiming to be God himself and claiming to bring God fully to others. “Personally” emphasizes identity, while “completely” stresses the totality of what Jesus presents or communicates about God. It therefore describes Jesus as the complete bearer or representative of God without saying that he is God in person.
