Colossians 1:15 ESV
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
The only begotten.
Not born from below and reborn from above.
The beginning of a new creation.
Born in the latter days of creation, yet the firstborn of all creation.
In the sixth day and final day before God rests.
When we are made in the image of God, we become like Christ.
We enter the body of Christ, just as He entered our flesh.
That is where we become one with Him. He wraps His life in our flesh and we receive His life in our own.
Jesus is living because God is living. He brings the life of God to us.
The light of the world makes the Father visible in His face. We can behold His face as we gaze into a mirror and witness our transformation into His image.
We cannot be made in His image until He was born in our image.
