THE GOD MAN
Bible:Colossians 1:15-22
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation (V.15).
Reading
Before I decided to give my life to Jesus, I’d heard about His story and wrestled with His identity. How could He offer forgiveness for my sins when the Bible says only God can forgive sins? I discovered I wasn’t alone in my struggles after reading something from a Christian author. He suggests that for many non- Christians the “really staggering Christian claim is that Jesus of Nazareth was God made man . . . as truly and fully God as He was human.” Yet this is the truth
that makes salvation possible. When Paul talks about Jesus as “the image of the invisible God,” he’s saying that Jesus is completely and perfectly God—Creator and Sustainer of all things in heaven and earth—but also fully human (COLOSSIANS 1:15-17). Because of this truth, we can be confident that Jesus’ death and resurrection has fully paid for our sin and take the judgement we deserve. As a human, He could take our place; as God, He’s perfect and had no sin of His own to pay for. He is the only One who meets this ‘job description’! He is the only One who could save us
(VV.19-22)! God the Father reveals Himself in and through the Bible by the power of the Holy Spirit and through the life of His Son. Those who believe in Jesus are saved because He is “God with us” (MATTHEW 1:23). Praise God!
