Made in the Image of God: Jesus the True Image
The writer of Hebrews proclaims: “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.” Paul says it this way, “The Son is the image of the invisible God.” Join us in our ongoing exploration of what it means to be made in God’s image and how Jesus’ life, death and resurrection reshapes how we view ourselves and the world.
Scripture passages: Colossians 1:15-16, Hebrews 1:1-4
This is week 4 of our sermon series “Made in the Image of God”
Respond together:
Relationship with God: Since Jesus is the true image of God, and we are made in his image, how does his life shape our understanding of how we are intended to live in union with God? In what ways can we adopt the same spiritual practices, cadences, and yielding?
Relationship with Others: Jesus is the visible representation of the invisible God. Are there areas of our life where we need to better reflect God's image in the way we interact with others? How does this understanding influence the way we respond to conflict, injustice, or those who are different from us?
Relationship with Creation: In what ways can our relationship with the natural world be aligned in harmony with creation? How might our habits, purchases, and actions towards the environment reflect or distort the image of God?
