At station six we heard a section from Colossians, and this one line in the reading that I have read or heard hundreds of times, stood out to me in this inexplicable way, as if I was hearing it for the first time. The line is this: “Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God.” I have been ruminating on this line all week. Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God. Nobody has ever seen God. God is invisible. An annoying fact that opens up so much room for doubt and uncertainty. This invisibility also opens up room for charlatans to try and take advantage of people by offering their own self-serving image of God.
