"Christ is the VISIBLE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all of creation."
To many people, SEEING IS BELIEVING. Mere talk or conjecture is not enough, the proof of the pudding is seeing it. Their attitude is what you see, is what you get. To them reality is available to our senses, no more and no less. Now let us apply that to God. Since time began men have tried to see and sense God. In fact the true God has remained invisible to the eye and senses of man. Man has made many idols or images of God, but they are not God. That had been the dilemma for man, how do you visualize something that is invisible? What was God's answer to the prayers of man who wanted to see, sense and visualize God?
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us! Jesus Christ was born as a human being and He was visible to those around Him. You could hear Him, you could touch Him, you could use all of your five senses to be confident of His existence. SEEING IS BELIEVING. Jesus Christ was the visible image of the invisible God. His miracles were seen. His messages and His voice were heard. He was touched and felt by many that had there life changed. For that moment in time, man was able to sense God in every way possible. Not everyone realized that Jesus Christ was the Lord God! Even though they had all the evidence they needed right in front of them they still could not understand it. Nothing has changed even today. Although the difference is that we do not have the advantage of using our five senses to confirm the Lord in the flesh. That is why faith is of paramount importance to our belief in the living God. It was then and it is now!
Jesus Christ came in the likeness of God in human form. Man was made in God's image and so this is not unusual. Although God exists in a different dimension, conceptually Jesus became the visible image of the invisible God. His contemporaries who saw Him and touched Him and saw His miracles did not always believe even there senses. Enough were touched by Him that understood and believed and realized that this was the Son of God in human flesh. They even saw Him ascend into Heaven. Because of their words and accounts of His life we have a record that is irrefutable and witnessed by so many that could say, SEEING IS BELIEVING. That is the One Truth Today, that Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He was made known to man in all of their senses. The Word contains the record of His time on earth and it is reliable evidence to those who will listen. You see just because you can not see something does not mean it does not exist. In time all believer's will come face to face with their Lord and they will confirm what they all ready know. Christ existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation.
