I think we have to be careful of two catagory mistakes, mistakes of nature and person.

Transitivity. Jesus is being set equal with the nature of God. Jesus is also set equal with the nature of man - fully God and fully man. We should not make the mistake of setting the two natures equal to each other. It is a mystery that Jesus has two natures, not a violation of transitivity.

Symmetry. To be clear I think it will help to expand terms, so to speak. The Person Jesus is the nature of God. So, the nature of God is the Person Jesus. "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). By the expanding of terms you can see how important the "of" is. It conveys that there is more to God than God’s nature, which is the mystery of the Trinity.

May this only serve to teach and not to confuse. God bless each of you in His Son Jesus.
