The Image of the Invisible God

Colossians 1:14-15

In Whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
If we want to know what God looks like, all we have to do is look at Jesus. However, I am not talking about all the standard images of Christ that are so often set forth. The most accurate picture we can have of Jesus is first by walking with God, letting Him change our hearts, and then looking into our own hearts to see what He has removed, and what He left behind in its place. He has promised that what remains will glorify Him, and it will no longer be a stony landscape of human vanity. It will be flesh, and it will have written there the glory and majesty of His Son, in Whom He is well pleased.
