Í Kólossubréfinu 1:15-17, Paul wrote that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, frumburður sérhverrar skepnu. Því af honum eru allir hlutir skapaðir, sem eru á himnum, og sem eru í jörðu, sýnilegt og ósýnilegt, hvort þeir séu hásæti, eða ríkidæmi, eða furstadæmi, or power: allir hlutir voru skapaðir af honum, og fyrir hann; Og hann er á undan öllum hlutum, and by Him all things consist of every creature. Hvað þýðir það, Jesus being the image of the invisible God, frumburður sérhverrar skepnu?
What is the meaning of colossians 1:15, Jesus being the image of the invisible God?
Merking Kólossubréfanna 1:15, Jesus being the image of the invisible God, is that Jesus is the brightness of God’s glory and the express image of His person. If you know Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Word that was made flesh, you know the Father.
No one has seen the Father but Jesus Christ and He is the reflection of Him. (a.o. John 1:18, 6:46, Hebrear 1:3).
Aðeins í gegnum Orðið, you can get to know the Father (Lestu líka: Var Jesús að fullu mannlegur?).
Hver er ímynd hins ósýnilega Guðs, frumburður sérhverrar skepnu: Því af honum eru allir hlutir skapaðir, sem eru á himnum, og sem eru í jörðu, sýnilegt og ósýnilegt, hvort þeir séu hásæti, eða ríkidæmi, eða furstadæmi, eða völd: allir hlutir voru skapaðir af honum, og fyrir hann: Og hann er á undan öllum hlutum, og fyrir hann eru allir hlutir (Kólossubúar 1:15-17)
Philip saith unto Him, Drottinn, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesús sagði við hann, Hef ég verið svona lengi með þér, og þó hefur þú ekki þekkt mig, Philip? sá sem hefur séð mig hefur séð föðurinn; og hvernig segir þú þá, Sýndu okkur föðurinn?
Trúir þú ekki að ég sé í föðurnum, og faðirinn í mér? orðin sem ég tala til yðar tala ég ekki af sjálfum mér: heldur faðirinn sem í mér býr, Hann vinnur verkin. Believe Me that I am in the Father, og faðirinn í mér: eða trúðu mér fyrir verkin sjálf’ sakir.
Sannarlega, Sannarlega, Ég segi þér, Sá sem trúir á mig, Verkin sem ég geri skal hann gera líka; og meiri verk en þessi skal hann gera; því ég fer til föður míns. Og það sem þér munuð spyrja í mínu nafni, það mun ég gera, að faðirinn gæti verið vegsamaður í syninum. Ef þér spyrjið nokkurs í mínu nafni, Ég mun gera það (John 14:8-14)
The old creation can’t believe nor see the Kingdom of God
Philip had spent so much time with Jesus and still, Philip asked Jesus to show them the Father. While Jesus was the reflection of the Father. Orðin, Jesus spoke and the works, He did were the words and works of the Father.
Þetta sýnir, that as long as you remaingamla sköpunarverkið, it’s hard to believe, to see, to comprehend, and to understand the spiritual things of the Kingdom of God.
Only when you become born again in the spirit, you enter the Kingdom of God. When you enter the Kingdom of God, you see the Kingdom of God and understand the spiritual things of God.
Wat is the meaning of Jesus being the Firstborn of every creature?
The meaning of Jesus being the Firstborn of every creature is that Jesus existed before everything else was created. Nothing existed before Jesus. All things in the heavens and on the earth, hið sýnilega og ósýnilega, hvort þeir séu hásæti, yfirráðum, höfuðstóll, eða völd; all things were created by Him and for Him.
Þetta sýnir okkur, the ultimate authority and highest power of Jesus Christ, above all other forces, Völd, hásæti, yfirráðum, höfuðstóll, o.fl.. There is no higher and greater power in the heavens and on earth, that stands above God (Efesusbréfið 1:20-23).
Í upphafi var Orðið, og Orðið var hjá Guði, og Orðið var Guð. Sama var í upphafi hjá Guði. Allir hlutir voru skapaðir af honum; og án hans varð ekkert til sem varð til
John 1:1-3
Since all things were created by Jesus and for Him, Jesus had to come to the earth. So that through Jesus, hinni nýju sköpun; the new man could be created.
Það var enginn, who could do that, en Jesús Kristur, lifandi orð. And so Jesus became the Firstborn of the new creation. (Lestu líka: Öll sköpunin skapað í Jesú Kristi).
These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God
Opinberun 3:14
The new creation is the image of Jesus Christ
As Jesus is the image of the invisible God, so are the believers in Christ the image of Jesus Christ.
Kristnir menn, who by faith in Christ are born again in Him, are justified by His blood and born of vatn and Spirit and have become a new creation. As they are the new creation, they are the image of Jesus Christ on earth.
Christians belong to Jesus and submit to Him and live according to the will of God.
Fyrir hvern hann þekkti fyrir fram, Hann ákvað líka að vera í samræmi við ímynd sonar síns, that He might be the Firstborn among many brethren
Romans 8:29
Believers walk with God
Believers walk after the Spirit and have an experiential relationship with Jesus Christ and the Father. They speak His words and do His works. Even greater works, said Jesus, því hann fór til föðurins. The believers bear witness unto the truth and bear the same fruit as Jesus.
They are witnesses of Jesus Christ on earth. In His Name, they preach the gospel and call the people to repentance and the removal of sin, and deliver sinners from the power of darkness.
Vegna þessa, born again Christians show through their lives that they belong to God and worship Him.
Christians walk in the light and distinguish themselves from the people, who through natural birth belong to the devil and the world and walk in darkness.
