Jesus is God - Acts 20:28

28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.

So we are to pay careful attention and care for the church of God, which He obtained with his own blood.

Isn't it clear that God obtained the church with his own blood?

[1213]

...This, however, is not the first time in Scripture where God/Theos are referring to Jesus...

It is interesting how differently we can read it. I think the "he" refers to Jesus, not to God, because:

1) I don't think God would have to purchase something that is His.
2) The previous scriptures are speaking about Jesus and so it seems continuation to that.

As I understand Clarke's commentary, the Church was purchased by the blood of Christ; and as to His Godhead.

Mr. Wakefield, who was a professed and conscientious Unitarian, decides for ??? ????, of God, as the true reading; but, instead of translating ??? ????? ???????, with his own blood, he translates, by his own Son, and brings some passages from the Greek and Roman writers to show that ???? and sanguis are used to signify son, or near relative; and, were this the only place where purchasing with his own blood occurred, we might receive this saying; but, as the redemption of man is, throughout the New Testament, attributed to the sacrificial death of Christ, it is not likely that this very unusual meaning should apply here. At all events, we have here a proof that the Church was purchased by the blood of Christ; and, as to his Godhead, it is sufficiently established in many other places. When we grant that the greater evidence appears to be in favor of ??? ??????, feed the Church of the Lord, which he has purchased with his own blood, we must maintain that, had not this Lord been God, his blood could have been no purchase for the souls of a lost world.
