What "Incarnation" REALLY Means is "Like Father, Like Son"

Christians maintain that Jesus was the incarnation of God, and it can be somewhat confusing to those who have never considered such a possibility. The whole notion of incarnation is somewhat mysterious and unfathomable. It literally means “in the flesh” and refers to God taking on human form. Matthew 1:20-21 speaks about it like this: “an angel of the Lord appeared to [Joseph] in a dream and…

Colossians 1:15-17 (NLT). “ [15] Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, [16] for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. [17] He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.”

Amen! 🙏🕊️🙌

Upon Reflection, You'd have to Say the Son is the Spitting Image of the Father

When you look in a mirror, what do you see? Unless you’re in a carnival funhouse, the reflection there will only do what you do, and say only what you say. The toddler in this image is in the process of discovering what you and I already know: our image reflects us. Paul said that the toddler in this picture is the key to a pretty amazing revelation about God. “The Son is the image of the…

Hebrews 5:5 - 13

2025 What is behind that door? There is a lot of pessimism

Hope We have a hope in Jesus.

Don't let all the good ideas, themes and hope of Christmas be packed away.

The foundation for the new year is in the true meaning of Christmas

Jesus is the Redeemer, Shepherd and Friend Redeemer - He took Sin's penalty on Himself. Isaiah 53:3 Colossians 3:13, 14

All we need to do is to take up that gift.

Doubts can surface. But it is certain, because it relies on Jesus, not on us. He shepherds us through the ups and downs of life.

God is with us in our difficulties.

John 1:14

Hebrews 2:14 - 18

He became flesh and blood in order to save us.

John 15:13 - 15

“✨ The Image of the Invisible God”

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, for all things in heaven and on earth were created in Him… all things were created through Him and for Him. He himself is before all things and all things are held together in Him.” —Colossians 1:15–17 (NET)

“Of all the wonders and mysteries of the Christmas story, none exceeds this: the child born and laid in a manger was the Creator of heaven and earth. He was not only the One who spoke all creation into existence, but His powerful word continues to sustain it. Apart from Him there is nothing. Apart from His continual work of preservation, there would be nothing.

In Jesus, the Creator became a creature. The transcendent fully divine One became immanent in the created order as full humanity. The One who is the source of all created things submitted Himself to His creation and became a human, a helpless and dependent infant. The Creator of Mary submitted to her.

The Creator of the raw materials of the manger rested on the result of human craftsmanship. As He grew and developed, He would learn to eat, talk, walk, read, and everything else He would need to know to live as a human. The One in whom all things are held together became dependent on His creation for His needs to be met. He submitted to these creatures in order to grow up to die for them and to be raised from the dead to bring life into a world that is decaying and dying because of these creatures’ sin.

He is the image of the invisible God—in order to become visible He must condescend to submit Himself to His creation. He must take on the limitations of creation itself. In so doing, He reveals to us a God who so wants to be known by His creation that He humbles Himself to make Himself visible. In this manner, He reveals humility to be an attribute of deity.”
