"He is the image of the invisible God," Colossians 1:15.
He, who? God's son. His human son. His human son, Jesus, whom God has made both Lord and Christ. His image. Image? Yeah. Icon. The human being, Jesus, is God's icon. Not a statue. Not a painting. Not pixels. Jesus. The human being. The human son of God. (the son, in whom all divinity lives.) He is God's icon. See Jesus, see God. See Jesus, see the God that you can't see. See Jesus, see God who made earth and sky. See Jesus, see Creator of all you can see and of all you can't see. See Jesus, see the glue of the cosmos. See Jesus, see the consistency of the universe. See Jesus, see God's plan to reintegrate degenerated chaos. See Jesus' blood sacrifice, see God's heart making peace in all creation.
As we meet with a brother or sister today, we drop to our knees in wonder. And, together, overwhelmed, thankfully, we say: Wow!
