Children

“I wish I could see God.”

Have you ever said those words or wished you could ask God for His opinion on a particular subject?

If so, look at Jesus. Study His time on earth. Pay attention to His teachings. Why? Because Colossians 1:15 says Jesus is the image of the invisible God. The word “image” in this verse comes from a Greek word that means an exact replica, representation, or ‘picture’ of an original.” In other words, Jesus is the picture of His Father, of God. No doubt, you’ve seen a child and said, “They look and act just like their mother or father.” That is the case with Jesus and His Father, God.

Jesus is “spitting image” of God. What is the difference between them? Nothing. When we read about Jesus in the Bible and listen to His words, we are looking at God and listening to His words.

If it has been a while since you’ve read Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7, read it slowly and carefully. Listen as if you were sitting with Jesus and He was talking directly to you. Consider if you think and live like He says we are to live. Why? Jesus is telling us how to live like children of our Heavenly Father.

Read, take to heart, the words of Jesus, the image of the invisible God.

Lord Jesus, IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, quicken us to do more than read Your words. Imprint them on our hearts and minds so we live like children of Your Father.
