Warrior?

Wednesday November 27^th, Colossians 1: 15 We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen.  Jesus is for humanity, the manifestation of God.  All we can know of God, all we need to know of God, all that is helpful for us to know of God, we see in Jesus.  When one thinks of Jesus, what do you see?  A Warrior?  A Power monger?  No, what you see is the empty cross.  What we see of God is the totally giving, forgiving bringer of new life.  No matter where you are in life, no matter what situation you are in, no matter how much your life may seem like the pits some days, God is interested only in you discovering full what it means to be created in the image of God.  Part of what that means is to recognize that everyone else is also created in the image of God and treat them accordingly.  Perhaps in doing so, we begin to see the peace and piece of God in us also.
