Read : Colossians 1:15-19
He is the image of the invisible God, the first born over all creation. - Colossians 1:15
A little boy looked into the sky and asked his mother, "Is God up there?" When she assured him that He was, the youngster replied. "Wouldn't it be nice if He put His head out and let us see Him?"
What the boy didn't understand is that God has let us see Him-in the person of His Son. By sending Christ to earth as a man, the heavenly Father fully revealed Himself. Jesus was God "manifested in the flesh" (1 Tim.3:16)
Christ made this point clear when He said to Philip, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father" (Jn.14:9). This is the good news we celebrate, especially at Christmas. Jesus left heaven's glory and came to earth to reborn of a virgin. The baby that Mary cradled in a Bethlehem manger was the "image of the invisible God." All the attributes of the infinite God resided in Him. In fact, He was the One by whom "all things were created" and in whom "all things consist" (Col.1:16-17)
Looking into the face of our Savior, we can see displayed the holiness, the grace, and the love of our eternal, heavenly Father. This realization should make us rejoice, for we are gazing at God, who stepped out of heaven and came to this earth. Jesus Christ is Immanuel, God with us! - Paul Van Gorder
When God stepped out of heaven above
And came down to this earth,
He clothed Himself in human flesh-
A Child of lowly birth. - D. De Haan
Bethlehem's Manger Was The First Step In God's Love-Journey To Calvary's Cross.
