Ho Bakolose 1:15-17, Paul wrote that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, Letsibolo la sebopuoa se seng le se seng. Bakeng sa hae ho ne ho etsoa lintho tsohle tse entsoeng, e leholimong, le hore ke lefatšeng, e bonahala ebile e sa bonahale, Hore na ke makala, kapa ho busa, kapa bokhoni ba mantlha, or power: Lintho tsohle li entsoe ke eena, le bakeng sa hae; 'Me o pele ho lintho tsohle, and by Him all things consist of every creature. E bolelang, Jesus being the image of the invisible God, Letsibolo la sebopuoa se seng le se seng?
What is the meaning of colossians 1:15, Jesus being the image of the invisible God?
Moelelo oa Bakolose 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. (Oh. Johanne 1:18, 6:46, Baheberu 1:3).
Ka lentsoe feela, you can get to know the Father (Bala hape: E ne e le Motho ka botlalo?).
Setšoantšo sa Molimo ea sa bonahaleng, Letsibolo la sebopuoa se seng le se seng: Bakeng sa hae ho ne ho etsoa lintho tsohle tse entsoeng, e leholimong, le hore ke lefatšeng, e bonahala ebile e sa bonahale, Hore na ke makala, kapa ho busa, kapa bokhoni ba mantlha, kapa matla: Lintho tsohle li entsoe ke eena, le bakeng sa hae: 'Me o pele ho lintho tsohle, 'me ka eena lintho tsohle li na le (Bakolose 1:15-17)
Philip saith unto Him, Morena, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesu o ile a re ho eena, Ke bile le uena nako e telele hakaale, mme leha ho le jwalo ha o a ntseba, Filipi? ya mponeng o bone Ntate; mme o bolela jwang jwale?, Re bontshe Ntate?
U se ke oa lumela hore ke 'na Ntate, mme ntate ho nna? Mantsoe ao ke a buang le uena ha ke bue ka nna: empa Ntate ya dutseng ho Nna, O etsa mesebetsi. Ntumeleng hobane ke ho Ntate, mme ntate ho nna: ho seng jwalo ntumeleng bakeng sa yona mesebetsi’ Sake.
Ka ho hlakileng, ka ho hlakileng, Ke re ho lona, Ea lumelang, mesebetsi eo ke e etsang eo ke tla e etsa le eona; le mesebetsi e meholo ho feta tsena e tla etsa; Hobane ke ea ho ntate oa ka. Le eng kapa eng e tla kopa lebitsong la ka, Ke tla etsa joalo, hore ntate a ka tlosoa Moon. Haeba le tla botsa ntho efe kapa efe ka lebitso la ka, ke tla e etsa (Johanne 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. Mantsoe, Jesus spoke and the works, He did were the words and works of the Father.
E bontša, that as long as you remainpopo ya kgale, 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, the visible and invisible, Hore na ke makala, mebuso, Boholo ba Naha, kapa matla; all things were created by Him and for Him.
This shows us, the ultimate authority and highest power of Jesus Christ, above all other forces, matla, thrones, mebuso, Boholo ba Naha, etc.. There is no higher and greater power in the heavens and on earth, that stands above God (Baefese 1:20-23).
Qalong e ne e le lentsoe, Mme lentsoe le ne le le le Modimo, Mme lentsoe e ne e le Modimo. Ho ne ho le joalo ka lebaka la Molimo. Lintho tsohle li entsoe ke eena; mme ntle le eena e ne e se ntho efe kapa efe e entsoeng e entsoeng
Johanne 1:1-3
Since all things were created by Jesus and for Him, Jesus had to come to the earth. So that through Jesus, popo e ncha; the new man could be created.
There was no one, who could do that, ho feta Jesu Kreste, Lentsoe le Phelang. And so Jesus became the Firstborn of the new creation. (Bala hape: The whole creation created in Jesus Christ).
These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God
Tšenolo 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.
Bakreste, who by faith in Christ are born again in Him, are justified by His blood and born of Metsi 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.
Bakeng sa bao A ba tsebileng pele, O ile a boela a rera esale pele hore a tšoane le setšoantšo sa Mora oa Hae, that He might be the Firstborn among many brethren
Baroma 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, hobane O ile a ya ho Ntate. 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.
Ka lebaka la sena, 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.
