He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. – Colossians 1:15
People have all kinds of ideas in their heads about God, and these ideas, right or wrong, shape how we view the world and influence how we live in it. When Jesus came to live in this world with us, He made it possible for us to know what God is really like. He displayed God’s character, heart, authority, holiness, righteous anger and love for all to see. In looking at Jesus, what we see is… Forgiveness for the repentant. Compassion for the broken. Rebuke for the self-righteous. Freedom for the enslaved. Peace for the fearful. Humiliation for the proud. Exaltation for the lowly. Hope for the hurting. Guidance for the confused. Strength for the weak. Authority for the rebellious. Supply for the needy. Joy for the downtrodden. Grace for the unable. Love. For. Everyone.
