Beta is the second letter in the Greek alphabet and is second only to Alpha. It is sometimes wrongly pronounced 'better' perhaps because some think Beta (correctly pronounced beater) means it is better than other others.
Scientists have discovered Beta rays or particles– a form of energy I believe - and so we have the Betatron, but don't ask me what it does!
Beta is second and a B grade in exams is just that, not quite an A but still pretty good.
However I'm looking at this as the second part of God, and that is Jesus. So is Jesus a lesser part of God? No, we have learnt that Jesus is the Son of God, the same as God, and is God. So the rules that we humans apply to various things don't always work in the overall structure of everything.
Jesus taught us that the only way to God the Father is through him. He came down to earth and died to save us from our sins as part of God's plans for us all. Which is why we ask Jesus into our lives rather than God. He also gave us the perfect model for our own lives, although I'm sure most of us find reaching that Beta standard is still extremely difficult.
So we will all try as hard as we can to beat a path to God's door and encourage our fellow humans to do the same.
