Exactly - the Son of God incarnate is the exact representation of God the Father, without being God the Father, Himself, as I'm sure some heretic or other has probably thought during church history. The Father is the Father and the Son is the Son, and both (with the Holy Spirit, of course) are the one God. Different persons, same essence.
