Jesus: The Visible Image of God

Philip once asked Jesus a question that revealed a deep longing in every human heart:

“Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered with

gentle clarity: “Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father.” In those words,

Jesus revealed something staggering. The invisible God — the One no human

eye had ever fully seen — made Himself known through Him. Scripture declares:

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.”

Jesus did not merely represent God. He did not merely speak for God. He revealed God

perfectly. When Jesus showed compassion, that was the heart of the Father.
