01 Nov We Are Like Him
November 2016
Jesus came to reveal not only Who God is, but who we are. Here are a few revelations that the Scriptures give us about Who Jesus is and how much we—all of us—are like Him:
“[Now] He [Christ] is the exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible]; He is the Firstborn of all creation” (Col. 1:15 Amplified).
Jesus began a new species of god-men. He is the first-born so we are born of His family and likeness in the image of His Father who is now our Father.
“For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection” (Romans 6:5).
And when did our resurrection occur? The moment we were born again from death to life!
“…Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him” (2 Cor. 3:18 The Message).
We go from faith to faith, from love to love, from adventure to adventure!
