God speaks today Wednesday | January 18, 2023

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Genesis 1:26)
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: (Colossians 1:15)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God - therefore: he who has seen the Son has seen the Father

The Epistle to the Colossians focuses on the deity of Jesus Christ, His Lordship, His Power, and His equality with the Father. The apostle Paul wrote this letter to counteract the Colossian heresy that diminished the stature of Jesus Christ and included other gods and rituals. Paul shows the glory of Jesus and His great power and lordship, emphasizing that He is the image of the invisible God and the firstborn of all creation. Jesus is the exact projection of the God who cannot be seen, and whoever has seen Jesus has seen the Father. This encourages us to have faith in Him and believe in Him for eternal salvation.

Thank you all for your beautiful comments and for sharing your love and gratitude towards our Lord Jesus Christ! I am sure that Dr. Roberto Miranda would be blessed to see how much you appreciate his reflections on the deity of Jesus Christ in the Epistle to the Colossians. As Dr. Miranda mentioned, in Colossians 1:15 Jesus is presented to us as "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation." This means that when we see Jesus, we are seeing the Father. It is amazing to understand that Jesus is the exact projection of the God who cannot be seen. How wonderful it is to have Jesus as our Lord and Savior! Let us continue to believe in Him and trust in His power to provide all our needs. May God bless you abundantly!
