“Image of God: Part 2”
Text: Colossians 1:3-23
Last week, we explored what it means to be created in the image of God. This week, we look at Jesus, who is the clearest picture and articulation of who God is. As Paul says in his letter to the Colossians, Jesus is both the firstborn of the dead and the firstborn of creation; fully human and fully divine. We share in the promise of His resurrection but also share in being image-bearers as well. To know who God is is to look at Christ, the One who loved us, who cared for us, who entered into our existence. We can also look upon our neighbor and see how God continues to reveal Himself through the various people He brings into our life.
