| In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God ... | ||
| Colossians 1:14-15 | ||
| People have lots of ideas about what God is like ... The Hindu says, ‘God must be loving, benevloent, and gentle. Therefore, He must be a cow.’ The American Indian, watching an eagle soar effortlessly and majestically upon the wind currents says, ‘God is an eagle.’ The ancient Egyptian sees the awesome power of the sun and says, ‘God is Ra. God is the sun.’ Each culture speaks a partial truth, but all miss the total picture because all of humanity is blind. So what did God do? He came and dwelt among us in the Person of Jesus Christ. Therefore, when I want to know what God is like, I don’t have to try and figure out His nature. I can study the life of Jesus, for He alone reveals God in totality. He alone is the ‘image of the invisible God.’ | ||
