Ref;Colosians 1;15-23.(NIV).
Jesus Christ is;the image of the invisible God.This mean that if you see Jesus ,you have seen God the father.This is what Jesus told Nathaniel,you see me you have seen the father because the Father and the Son are one.Jesus is the firstborn over all the creation.And by Him all things were created.Things in heaven and things on earth.Visible and invisible.Thrones or powers or rulers or authorities.All things were crated by him and for him.He is before all things,and in him all things hold together.He is the head of the body,the church.He is the begining and the first born from among the dead,so that in every thing He might have the supremancy.God was pleased to have all his fulness dwell in Him so as to reconcile to himself all things on earth or things in heaven by making peace through his blood shed on the cross. Jesus is evidently the enbodiment of God th father and this makes it easy for each one of us to identify with the Father who is the source of all things.He has entrusted every thing to the Son,Jesus Christ who has been revealed for our sake.Through Jesus,we are able to know the true God,the created things and even ourselves.We understand ourselves beter rather,we descover ourselves better when we know Jesus better.We therefore gain victory over self,sin and satan ,just as Jesus over came,for He is the perfect man whom God sent to overcome what the first man failled to overcome.As He is so we are in this world.No wonder Paul the apostle calls us more than conquerors. Now,how do you see Jesus?Who is He to you?
