He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
–Colossians 1:15
It’s amazing the power a photograph can have, especially when you consider it’s little more than light cast on a film that’s developed into a picture. Yet when we look at photographs, our minds are taken back to the very day they were taken. We vividly remember what was happening and get to re-experience it.
I have many photographs from when I was growing up I love to pull out every now and then. And every time I look at them, I can hear my father’s laugh and my mother’s voice all over again. Those images have so much power!
When we read about the person of Jesus Christ, we have a photograph of God. That’s because when we look at Jesus—how He loved others, obeyed God, and gave Himself for us—we get a clear look at the heart of our heavenly Father.
But here’s how what we have is so much more powerful than a photograph: God is in us if we are in Christ. He’s given us the gift of His Spirit to lead and guide us all the days of our lives. So read the Scriptures and marvel at Jesus. When you do, know you’re getting a clear glimpse of your Father in heaven and the Holy Spirit inside you!
GET A GLIMPSE OF YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN AND THE HOLY SPIRIT INSIDE YOU BY LOOKING AT JESUS!
