Col 1:15 (A) In what way is Christ the image of God?
Image here means essentially and absolutely the perfect expression and representation of God.
The word is applied to Christ on account of His divine nature and moral excellence (CP 2Cor 4:4).
All that Jesus is and does, interprets and explains all that God is and does (CP Jn 1:18; 12:45; 14:7-11; He 1:3).
Christ is the visible representation and manifestation of the invisible God. (See also comments on Jn 1:18 and 14:7).
