Re:Verse passage – Colossians 1:15-24 (day three)
“He is the image of the invisible God.”
It’s not uncommon to hear in evangelical circles that the way to know God is through Jesus Christ. Often a person will mean by that statement that Christ is the way one gets to God, as in, begins a life of friendship with God. This passage of scripture also has another dimension to it. It is this: when you wonder what God’s character is like, what he thinks about, how he lives, whether he notices you, or wants you near him, or considers your longings important, or pays attention to the things that break your heart, look at Jesus Christ. You can’t just take God in and discern his person. That’s all too much, too big, too high for you. But you can take in Jesus. You can behold him, the man. That’s God.
